[PATCH] EXT2: Remove superblock lock contention in ext2_statfs
Fix a performance degradation introduced in 2.6.17. (30% degradation
running dbench with 16 threads)
Commit
a4bf8175096c1fe63a902ad676b571a3e7f79a10, which claims to make
EXT2_DEBUG work again, moves the taking of the kernel lock out of
debug-only code in ext2_count_free_inodes and ext2_count_free_blocks and
into ext2_statfs.
The same problem was fixed in ext3 by removing the lock completely (commit
