Subject: What's in ocfs2.git

The following describes the contents of the ALL branch of

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfasheh/ocfs2.git

* The usual set of cleanups and fixes.
   - a #include cleanup
   - some nlink check fixes
   - a heartbeat sector math fix

* OCFS2 now supports ext2 file attributes. Thanks to Herbert Poetzl for that
  feature.

* Shared writeable mmap support. This just make use of the ->page_mkwrite()
  callback to take write locks on pages. It works quite well, though there's
  one unresolved issue I'd like to work out first.

* Fix mtime updates on buffered writes so that they always happen.

* An old directory readahead patch which I had never pushed upstream. IMHO,
  it's actually more interesting in that it provides the code to do readahead
  of other fs structures in the future.

* A patch series which removes the "dentry" vote, in favor of a locking
  scheme which achieves the same thing (cluster-wide dentry delete on
  unlink/rename) using fewer network messages in the average case. This
  series also includes two interesting changes:
   - An OCFS2 DLM API update, needed to get this going.
   - A small patch to the VFS to enable a file system to manually d_move()
     during rename. This also updates NFS for the behavior.

* A configfs fix - it was previously possible to create duplicate subsystem
  names.


Most of this will be queued up for 2.6.19. Diffstat and shortlog are below.
