    Description

      At the recent developers conference, Jinshan proposed a different method of approaching the performance problems described in LU-6148.

      Instead of introducing a new type of LDLM lock matching, we'd like to make it possible for user space to explicitly request LDLM locks asynchronously from the IO.

      I've implemented a prototype version of the feature and will be uploading it for comments. I'll explain the state of the current version in a comment momentarily.
