  What happens if you pass in your IS using directly PCFIELDSPLIT and not using PCREDISTRIBUTE?

Anyways no matter what, you need to know what degrees of freedom are removed by PCDistribute() in order to produce the reduced IS which is why I think you need information only available inside PCSetUp_Redistribute(). (Sorry it is PCSetUp_Redistribute() not PCApply_Redistribute())

I suspect the issue is with the use of ISEmbed as, quoting the PETSc-manual, "the resulting IS is sequential, since the index substitution it encodes is purely local" (admittedly I don't fully understand what that means). If you think using ISEmbed is not a good idea, I'll try PCApply_Redistribute()

But you have probably already been trying this? It does require digging directly into the PCApply_Redistribute() to get the needed information (which degrees of freedom are removed by the redistribute code), plus it requires shifting the MPI rank ownership of the entries of the IS in the same way the MPI rank ownership of the degrees of freedom of the vector are moved.

This works very well until I try PCREDISTRIBUTE (which is attractive as I have many locked DOFs). I suspect something goes wrong when constructing the IS for the split (I've tried various things using the IS-routines). Can PETSc do this automatically? Or else, any hints?
