Mitigate this somewhat by downgrading the i_rwsem to a read lock across the buffered write. This at least allows parallel reads to occur whilst excluding other writes, DIO, truncate and setattr. Note that this shouldn't be a problem for a buffered write as a read through an mmap can circumvent i_rwsem anyway. Also note that we might want to make this change in NFS also.
