Hi Al,
The following three patches implement the extra functionality you wanted on top of the inode lock breakup. The first patch lifts the i_lock up out of writeback_single_inode(), the second implements RCU freeing of inodes via SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, and the third converts inode hash lookup operations to use RCU list walks. Comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Dave.
