Yes, the locks do want to live inside the buffer_head. Stephen has pointed out that we might want to remove jbd_lock_bh_journal_head() altogether some time, just use jbd_lock_bh_state() for that. In 2.4 these locks are global (or per-superblock). Making them a global spinlock would be acceptable for 2-ways and probably larger. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
