VOP_GETEXTATTR is currently called with an exclusive lock, which seems like overkill for what is essentially a read operation. I had a look over the various in-tree filesystems and it didn't look like any of them will have a problem if a shared-mode lock is used for vop_getextattr. Does anyone know otherwise? Is someone using extended attributes regularly who can test this? [sorry if this is a duplicate; I first sent from my non-FreeBSD mail] Thanks, matthew
