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
