Hard NAK. You are putting IO (potentially - network IO, with no upper
limit on the completion time) under namespace_sem.
This is an instant DoS - have a hung NFS mount anywhere in the system,
try to cat /proc/self/mountinfo and watch a system-wide rwsem held shared.
From that point on any attempt to take it exclusive will hang *AND* after
that all attempts to take it shared will do the same.
Please, fix BTRFS shite in BTRFS. Without turning a moderately unpleasant
problem (say, unplugged hub on the way to NFS server) into something that
escalates into buggered clients. Note that you have taken out any possibility
to e.g. umount -l /path/to/stuck/mount, along with any chance of clear shutdown
of the client. Not going to happen.
