Yes, for the time being. > In other words, should I wait for another lock free solution from Dmitry > Kasatkin? In addition to the lockdep issue, there is a separate problem of reading the file opened w/O_DIRECT flag. Dmitry is about to post two patches, with a detailed explanation.

Neither patch is trivial. > By the way, the mail is not delivered to stable-ML while there is > "Cc: stable..." line in the commit log. The CC shouldn't have been included in an RFC.
