From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When we attempt to reclaim an inode, the first thing we do it take the inode lock. This is blocking right now, so if the inode being accessed by something else (e.g. being flushed to the cluster buffer) we will block here. Change this to a trylock so that we do not block inode reclaim unnecessarily here.
