I'll take metadata part of the story, but the rest is trickier. BTW, we still has oopsable bugs in truncate() on continuous-files filesystems. It will be fixed in cleanup of that stuff (I more or less have it done, but it will need some testing).
There are isolated bugs in filesystems, but that's more or less matter of feeding patches to Linus - just that there's a huge heap of them.
For less critical stuff (== near post-2.4.0): ->fhandle_to_dentry() (maybe it will go before the 2.4) merging ext2 speedup code (O(n^2)->O(n) on ls -l) cleaning up iget() abuse in UDF threading flock cleaning up remnants of dcache abuse in knfsd _and_ NFS. taking silly-rename mechanism into VFS (and smbfs might _really_ win from that - currently its unlink() and rename() are totally broken wrt opened files) threading dcache (with the symlinks stuff done we are down to more or less reasonable amount of lookup_dentry() calls so tweaking that area will be bearable. And we'll need it).
