Subject: Re: VFS scalability git tree

Nick,

what's the plan for going ahead with the VFS scalability work?  We're
pretty late in the 2.6.36 cycle now and it would be good to get the next
batch prepared and reivew so that it can get some testing in -next.

As mentioned before my preference would be the inode lock splitup and
related patches - they are relatively simple and we're already seeing
workloads where inode_lock really hurts in the writeback code.
