Previously, the eager-lock mechanism blocked simultaneous file access even in cases where many reads and only one write was being attempted. This increased wait times for read operations when a write was occurring. The eager-lock mechanism now only blocks simultaneous write operations, instead of affecting write and read operations. With this fix, the algorithm to disable the eager-lock is modified and it disables only when multiple write operations are trying to modify a file at the same time. This led to performance improvement while a write operation is performed on a file irrespective of the number of times it is opened at the same time for read operation.
