And you ignored the list of _requirements_ I had, so you just missed the other place you _have_ to have the unplug, namely in the "found a page that was not yet up-to-date" case (look for the other lock_page()). Because the person who started the IO might be off doing something else, and may not be unplugging now (or ever, in the case of readahead). In other words, when you start arguing, at least read my emails. Your suggestion would have introduced a bug by not waiting on that other place.
