Yep, that was very likely due to my dentry vote removal changes.

Dave, how's this one look? I guess I'll leave the same description message
below...


Subject: r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handling
From: Dave Hansen <[email protected]>
 
OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its
operations fail to complete.  This does not fit in well with the drop_nlink()
logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets there.
 
So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations
have completed.  Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode has
proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory or
regular inode.
 
This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some logical
changes.

Cleanups to apply against current git-ocfs2 changes by Mark Fasheh.
