Did you see the comments I made to the original version of your patch
(e-mail dated April 6, 2008).

The comments can be easily found in the ext4 patchwork website:

    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/25380/
    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/25381/

My concern is about stray inodes on the orphan list causing a panic on
umount, and it looks like these patches increases the exposure of this
happening.
