Thanks again for reviewing this and I agree with your suggestion. So far
most of the concerns have been around usage of kernfs_rwsem and those
can be addressed independent of first 5 (even first 7 )changes here.
Just one question in this regard, should I send the new patch set
(addressing open_file_mutex and list conversion) as a separate patch set
or should I sent it as v9 of ongoing change set. I guess first option is
better but thought of confirming once before proceeding.

Thanks
