Hi Zheng,
I can fix this up, before I finalize your commit, but I just want to
check. I believe this comment is out of date --- we are now using a
r/w spinlock, i_es_lock, yes? Since we never hold the spinlock for
very long, I would be surprised if this is going to be a scalability
bottleneck (too bad Eric doesn't have access to the big SMP machine
that he used to use to help us do our scalability testing, so we could
check to be sure).
