Hi
I was testing this path in august and i have two patch applied for ocfs2
The one your referring and also a changed in file.c
At the time of the test, the two patch were necessary ( and both
suppress a BUG although
not the same one)
Sorry i have no idea if it's still necessary or not, but i prefer to
send you a notice
