We have been using i_lock to protect all kinds of data structures in the ceph_inode_info struct, including lists of inodes that we need to iterate over while avoiding races with inode destruction. That requires grabbing a reference to the inode with the list lock protected, but igrab() now takes i_lock to check the inode flags. Changing the list lock ordering would be a painful process. However, using a ceph-specific i_ceph_lock in the ceph inode instead of i_lock is a simple mechanical change and avoids the ordering constraints imposed by igrab().
