+/*
+ * The previous reiserfs locking scheme was heavily based on
+ * the tricky properties of the Bkl:
+ *
+ * - it was acquired recursively by a same task
+ * - the performances relied on the release-while-schedule() property
+ *
+ * Now that we replace it by a mutex, we still want to keep the same
+ * recursive property to avoid big changes in the code structure.
+ * We use our own lock_owner here because the owner field on a mutex
+ * is only available in SMP or mutex debugging, also we only need this field
+ * for this mutex, no need for a system wide mutex facility.
+ *
+ * Also this lock is often released before a call that could block because
+ * reiserfs performances were partialy based on the release while schedule()
+ * property of the Bkl.
