Something this dramatic usually only happens when you enable a debugging
option.  Can you recheck that you're running both A and B with the same
debugging options both compiled in, and enabled?

It is the same kernel tree with and w/o Mateusz's inode_lock changes to block/fops.c. I see the config remains same for both the builds.

Let me get a run for both base and patched case w/o running perf lock contention to check if that makes a difference.

Without perf lock contention

                default                         inode_lock-fix
rw=30%
Instance 1      r=54.6GiB/s,w=23.4GiB/s         r=11.4GiB/s,w=4992MiB/s
Instance 2      r=52.7GiB/s,w=22.6GiB/s         r=11.4GiB/s,w=4981MiB/s
Instance 3      r=53.3GiB/s,w=22.8GiB/s         r=12.7GiB/s,w=5575MiB/s
Instance 4      r=37.7GiB/s,w=16.2GiB/s         r=10.4GiB/s,w=4581MiB/s
