Ok, so it's probably a side effect of the writeback changes.
Attached are two patches (two because one was in a separate patchset as
a standalone change) that should prevent async writeback from blocking
on locked inode cluster buffers. Apply the xfs-factor-inotobp patch first.
Can you see if this fixes the problem?
Cheers,
Dave.
