[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH 5/5] GFS2: Do not reset flags on active reservations

[Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>]

Hi,

So I've taken patches 1,2 and 5 from this series. I know that you are
looking into being able to reduce the rbm size by using just the bii and
removing the bitmap pointer, so I'll leave 3 & 4 until thats ready too,
if that makes sense?

Steve.
