Hi,
GFS2 uses deferred locks, at the very least in its direct_io path (gfs2_direct_IO in aops.c). So AFAIK we can't remove THAT without a certain amount of pain. Steve is on vacation / holiday this week, but he will be back on Thursday and Friday (which is a holiday).
I'm all for getting rid of useless parameters, and I've done so on several occasions in GFS2.
