Hi Jörn,
Thanks for forwarding it to me. It's the same problem as in XFS, the
excessive coverage of the i_mutex lock. In ext4's case, it's in the
generic generic_file_aio_write() machinery where we need to do the
lock busting. (XFS apparently doesn't use the generic routines, so
the fix that Dave did won't help ext3 and ext4.)
I don't have the time to look at it now, but I'll put it on my todo
list; or maybe someone with a bit more time can look into how we might
be able to use a similar approach in the generic file system code.
- Ted
