We're having unresolved issues with the glock holder auto-demotion mechanism introduced in commitdc732906c2. This mechanism was assumed to be essential for avoiding frequent short reads and writes until commit296abc0d91("gfs2: No short reads or writes upon glock contention"). Since then, when the inode glock is lost, it is simply re-acquired and the operation is resumed. This means that apart from the performance penalty, we might as well drop the inode glock before faulting in pages, and re-acquire it afterwards.
