--- Comment #17 from Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> ---
Ultimately it is Ted's call but your argument is like (randomly taken out of
top of my head): "Proper locking to protect from hole punching costs us some
performance and our workload doesn't use hole punching so let's create mount
option to disable the locking". Sure it can be done and it will benefit your
workload but how much you gain? And how many users need this? This has to be
weighted against the cost of the new mount option in terms of testing and
usability (and code complexity but that is fairly small in this case so I'm not
that concerned).
