The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,

NFS: Adapt readdirplus to application usage patterns
While the use of READDIRPLUS is significantly more efficient than
READDIR followed by many LOOKUP calls, it is still less efficient
than just READDIR if the attributes are not required.
This patch tracks when lookups are attempted on the directory,
and uses that information to selectively disable READDIRPLUS
on that directory.
The first 'readdir' call is always served using READDIRPLUS.
Subsequent calls only use READDIRPLUS if there was a successful
lookup or revalidation on a child in the mean time.
Credit for the original idea should go to Neil Brown. See:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg19996.html

Now that NFSv2 and NFSv3 have simulated change attributes,
instead of using all three of mtime, ctime and change attribute to
manage data cache consistency, we can simplify the code to just use
the change attribute.
If the inode is being initialised, there is no point in
setting flags such as NFS_INO_INVALID_ACCESS,
NFS_INO_INVALID_ACL or NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA since there are
no cached access calls, acls or data caches to invalidate.
In order to retrieve cache consistency attributes before
anyone else has a chance to change the inode, we need to
put the GETATTR op _before_ the DELEGRETURN op.
We can then use that as part of a 'nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc()'
call, to ensure that we update the attributes without clearing our
cached data.

GFS2: Instruct DLM to avoid queue convert slowdown
This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the
lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to
the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only.
This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in
PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it.
This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow.
The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to
re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on
the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting
the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.
That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.
We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.
s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.
