It shouldn't be the case that the journal's data=ordered writeback would be
taking the i_data semaphore for writing.   

I'm guessing what is happening is that journal is causing a lot of I/O
operations because of data=ordered mode (e.g., not data=writeback), and this
is delaying a read which a writeback thread was trying to do while it was
holding a write lock on the inode's semaphore.
can you please show me the related source code of writeback holding a write
lock?
