I even had that solution in my slides at LinuxCon/LinuxPlumbers ;-)
Here's my slides:

Slide 19 is where I start talking about it.

Slide 21 shows Ingo's solution.

Slide 22 shows the complex issue of dcache.c.

Would your solution work with that code?

complexity of that. Is it safe to take the inode and dcache parent
locks after you unlock the other locks?
