We are doing a lot of small calculations and assignments while holding the space_info's spinlock, which is a heavily used lock for space reservation and flushing. There's no point in holding the lock for so long when all we want is to call need_preemptive_reclaim() and get a consistent value for a couple of counters from the space_info. Instead, grab the counters into local variables, release the lock and then use the local variables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
