Hi,
may I kindly request that some knowledgeable person in an altruistic
mood would write a brief description of the I_LOCK bit of an inode and
either send it here or even better add it to Documentation/filesystems?
I have a fuzzy idea about it from reading the source but I keep on
finding new uses every now and then (and forgetting about those I
found long time ago). For example I realized write_inode() is called
with I_LOCK locked only after I deadlocked on it :-(
Thank you very much in advance,
Martin
