Stupid question, but what amount of locking does XFS in FreeBSD still need? I'm one of the maintainer of XFS on Linux, and while I know FreeBSD imported a really old version compared to the current one the codebases on IRIX and later Linux never relied on any global Giant-style locking. So if there is anything to fix it would be the in the small bits of FreeBSD-specific code.
