 /*
- * iprune_sem provides exclusion between the kswapd or try_to_free_pages
- * icache shrinking path, and the umount path.  Without this exclusion,
- * by the time prune_icache calls iput for the inode whose pages it has
- * been invalidating, or by the time it calls clear_inode & destroy_inode
- * from its final dispose_list, the struct super_block they refer to

+ * iprune_sem provides exclusion between the icache shrinking and the
+ * umount path.
  *
- * We make this an rwsem because the fastpath is icache shrinking. In
- * some cases a filesystem may be doing a significant amount of work in
- * its inode reclaim code, so this should improve parallelism.
+ * We don't actually need it to protect anything in the umount path,
+ * but only need to cycle through it to make sure any inode that
+ * prune_icache took off the LRU list has been fully torn down by the
+ * time we are past evict_inodes.
