The challenge here is that there isn't an active ocfs2 tree at the moment (git/jlbec/ocfs2.git was last updated 11 years ago), and it's not clear ocfs2 has an active maintainer, although as discussed at a recent ext4 telechat, there still are some enterprise users of it hanging on. We're starting considering changes to fs/jbd2 so we can get off of using the struct bh for jbd2 (still very early days; it's more in the early concept brain-storming stage.) And since ocfs2 also uses fs/jbd2, the fact that ocfs2 isn't under active maintenance is going to be more of a challenge moving forward. Something we should discuss in the hallway track of LSF/MM, perhaps... - Ted
