Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] lseek: remove i_mutex
Hi, Andrew.
Following patch removes i_mutex from generic_file_llseek.
I think the reason of protecting lseek with i_mutex is just
touching i_size (and f_pos) atomically.
So i_mutex is no longer needed here by introducing i_size_read
to read i_size.
I also made f_pos access atomic here without i_mutex regarding
former i_mutex holders by introducing file_pos_read/file_pos_write
that use seqlock to preserve atomicity.
Following patch removes i_mutex from generic_file_llseek, and deletes
generic_file_llseek_nolock totally.
Currently there is i_mutex contention not only around lseek, but also fsync or write.
So, I think we can mitigate i_mutex contention between fsync lseek and write by
removing i_mutex.
Thanks.
