I'm going to nit pick a little bit here, but this isn't a good
changelog at all. A good changelog tells you _why_ a change is
made, not how it's made. Your commit message doesn't really tell
me anything that I can't easily glean from looking at the patch.

A good commit message would tell me _why_ we are now also
grabbing the write sem for metadata.
