Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix oops / warning when allocation of symlink fails

  Hi,

  the two patches in this series fix a problem for ext3/ext4 when we fail
to allocate blocks for a symlink. In ext3 this could lead to a memory
corruption (since freed inode could remain on in-memory orphan list), in
ext4 just to some warnings on the next mount (Sigh. Ted was maybe right
we should always do ext?_orphan_del() regardless of calling truncate ;)).
  Ted, would you please merge the patch (or both if you like)? Thanks.

								Honza
