I have provided my comment on the v3 patch. The sanity check is expensive,
costing about six lines of asm code for ocfs2_read_links_count() on a big-endian
architecture.

Also, since I'm not the maintainer, if Joseph agrees with your patch, he can
provide his Reviewed-by tag.

PS: Kindly note that the kernel mailing list generally discourages separate
emails for patch review threads.
