 I thought we declared that the concurrent clear_inode() and read_inode()
 were a VFS bug, and fixed it? It's even fixed in 2.4 now isn't it?

Is it?  I must have missed this discussion.  )-:

Wasn't that why we backported __wait_on_freeing_inode() to 2.4?

Re: [PATCH-2.6] i_sem contention in 2.6.10 generic_file_llseek

 While working on a new file systems latency profiler, which we call
 FSprof, we noticed that generic_file_llseek competes for i_sem if several
 processes access the same file.

Yeah, this is a problem.  Our f_pos atomicity handling sucks.

I haven't forgotten about this issue, but it's backlogged a bit.

Sorry I don't know what the limitations are for non-anonymous filesystems.
57 seems a bit unusual though.

  What filesystem type?
