For 3.2 I needed to apply these first: f38996f57687 xfs: reduce ilock hold times in xfs_setattr_size bc4010ecb8f4 xfs: use iolock on XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP calls 76ca4c238cf5 xfs: always take the iolock around xfs_setattr_size 5f8aca8b43f4 xfs: always hold the iolock when calling xfs_change_file_space 653c60b633a9 xfs: introduce mmap/truncate lock and I left out 723cac484733 "xfs: lock out page faults from extent swap operations" as it doesn't seem applicable.
