[Ocfs2-devel] [git patches] ocfs2 fixes

[Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>]

Ok, sending this patch set again. It seems to have fallen off the
stack, probably because my timing sucked, and I mailed it out just
after -rc4 was released :/

Some OCFS2 bug fixes, and a couple configfs ones. All of them are issues
that folks have actually hit.

Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of
git://oss.oracle.com/home/sourcebo/git/ocfs2.git

to receive the following updates:
