Has it been confirmed that pdflush is blocking in get_request_wait()? I guess that can happen very occasionally because we don't bother with any locking around there but if it's happening a lot then something is bust.



Miquel's analysis is pretty plausible, but I'm not sure if he's confirmed it or not, Miquel? Even if it isn't happening a lot, and something isn't bust it might be a good idea to do this.
