Hi Dan,

Thanks for your comments.

I also found some serious bugs in the two GFS2 quota-related patches that
forced me to respin them. The revised versions of the patches should not
be prone to the problems you informed me of. If the static checker finds
a problem, it should be a false positive.

Let me know if the revised versions are acceptable. If not, let me know
what's wrong and I'll fix it.
