Hi,

I actually send out this patch as a part of the series which
implemented it and it even got review for Jan Kara

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37914.html

however Ted noticed that xfstest shared/298 failed, but that was not
due to bug in the code,but rather the problem with the test itself,
see:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/18/329

So I am not sure why it was not merged a long time ago. Ted probably
just overlooked my response.

Ted can we have my or this patch (they are the same) merged ?
Thanks!

-Lukas
