The ext4.git tree[1] shows that only the first three patches from this
v2 version have been merged, possibly because the fourth patch conflicted
with ErKun's patch[2]. I've written a new version locally, adding two fix
patches for the three merged patches, and then rebase the subsequent
patches and modify them directly. I can send them out after texting.
Is this okay?

Thanks,
Yi.
