+ * zfs_free_range() due to a lock inversion.
+ *
+ * 1) The page must be unlocked prior to acquiring the range lock.
+ * This is critical because zfs_read() calls find_lock_page()
+ * which may block on the page lock while holding the range lock.
+ *
+ * 2) Before setting or clearing write back on a page the range lock
+ * must be held in order to prevent a lock inversion with the
+ * zfs_free_range() function.
