We're having unresolved issues with the glock holder auto-demotion mechanism introduced in commitdc732906c2. This mechanism was assumed to be essential for avoiding frequent short reads and writes until commit296abc0d91("gfs2: No short reads or writes upon glock contention"). Since then, when the inode glock is lost, it is simply re-acquired and the operation is resumed. This means that apart from the performance penalty, we might as well drop the inode glock before faulting in pages, and re-acquire it afterwards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
