Now ext4 tree has not yet rebased against 3.11-rcX.  So it seems that
vfs tree is better if we want to fix this bug in mainline kernel as soon
as possible.  This patch is against mainline kernel.  I think it should
be applied into vfs tree cleanly.  Please let me know if I need to rebase
it against vfs tree.  BTW, the patch for ext3 file system will be sent
out soon.  Please pick it up.

Thanks,
                                                - Zheng
