From 467f78992a0743e0e71729e4faa20b67b0f25289 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:34:47 -0400 Subject: xfs: reduce ilock hold times in xfs_file_aio_write_checks We do not need the ilock for generic_write_checks and the i_size_read, which are protected by i_mutex and/or iolock, so reduce the ilock critical section to just the call to xfs_zero_eof.
