Maybe, I'll push the patches to our git server:

http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=mkl/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v3.10/topic/ubifs-xattr

Can you please (re)check if these patches are still the ones on my
server? Can I have your Tested-by? Do they fix your problems? If so, we
should try to get them mainline.

And yes, the first two patches are unrelated to locking problem. The
locking problems are "introduced" by "UBIFS: Add security.* XATTR
support for the UBIFS" I think.
