Sorry for the noise. I would love to get rid of the j_state_lock, but looking through the code, I couldn't figure out how to do this safely. Hence my conversion of the j_state_lock to a rwlock_t, with the downside of this causing more cache line bounces. If someone can suggest a way to drop needing a global spinlock (whether it is an exclusive or rwlock) in start_this_handle(), I'd love to hear them. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
