Yes, this is a very typical pattern for I/O. Besides the page and
buffer head bit locks it also applies to the semaphore in the xfs_buf
structure and probably various other places that currently used hand
crafted or legacy locking primitives to escape lockdep.

That is similar to what the fsfreeze code does, but I don't think it
is very optimal, as misses to track any dependencies after I/O
submission, and at least some of the completions paths do take
locks. But it might be a start.
