Here are the allocation worker changes.
Hello mark, thanks for you answer
The biggest performance commit should be aa292847, which limits the
callers to the worker.

xfs: don't defer metadata allocation to the workqueue
Only These 2 commits are candidates, the others are post 3.5.
I'll try to patch a 3.4 with each patch.

xfs: move allocation stack switch up to xfs_bmapi_allocate
commit 9e96fe6df44425b69ed89f6ac20352cec1f127d7
Author: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx>

xfs: pull up stack_switch check into xfs_bmapi_write
The last 3 patches address an AGF buffer hang with the allocation worker.
--Mark.
As 3.4 Kernels don't have thoses patches, is there a risk associated
with 3.4 kernels ?
Cheers,
