Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] fs: peel back the inode_lock some more

Shouldn't inode_lock be completely gone after these?

also I hope moving to global locks really is just a step inbetween.
Especially for writeback I doubt moving from inode_lock to another
global lock makes a whole lot of difference - nevermind that it's
not too smart to lock per-object lists with a global lock.
