I was going to rebase the ext4 tree to Linus's current tree just to
get this patch in.  I think it would be good to get this fix before
-rc2, so either you or I should get this to Linus ASAP.

So Al, if you're going to send vfs patches to Linus this weekend (say,
to fix the equivalent bug for ext3), go for it.  Otherwise, let me
know and I'll send Linus a one-commit pull request just to get this
fix in.

Cheers,
