Yes.

Actually, we're suffering from a customer's complaint about long time
IO delay peak when R/W access the same file from different nodes. By
peak, I mean for most of time, the IO time of both R/W is acceptable,
but there may be a long time delay occuring occasionally.
On sles10, that's before dlmglue layer introduced, the R/W time is very
constant and fair in this case. Though the throughoutput looks improved
now, but the comstomer still prefers consistent performance.
I also tested this patch, and it could worsen the situation on my side.
Could you have a test so that we can confirm this each other if needed?

Thanks! Yeah, it's really bad...

Got it, thanks!
