    [PATCH] open writecount scalability cleanup · a4614dba
    Ingo Molnar authored
    This is an obvious scalability improvement for write()s.  We used a
    global lock to protect the inode writecount (updated on every open for
    writing) - this just makes it use the existing inode->i_lock instead.
    
    Compiles & boots fine on x86 SMP.
