Looks like there are 3 patches here which carry a Fixes tag, for an old commit but in fact IIUC there is no bug in those old commits, the problem only appears after the locking is removed? That said please wait for IBM folks to review first before reshuffling the patches, I presume the code itself won't change. Also I still haven't see anyone reply to Al Viro, IIRC he was complaining about changes someone from your team has made. I consider this a blocker for applying new patches from your team :(
