- Adopting a producer-consumer model where journal writeback is handled by a
 kthread would remove the need for the rwlock. It could be done by
maintaining transaction sequence numbers. For example, each in-core inode
 could contain a record of the last transaction made and the kthread a
global sequence number indicating the last transaction that is known to be
 in stable storage.


Yah, that sounds like a good solution.
