Thanks Fabbio. Yes, we'll schedule the test on the big cluster after the
1.2.5 release run. Next week, I hope.

The extent map code was seeing an error trip when inserting records.
There is a sanity check ensuring that the new record is within the known
size of the file - as known by the extent map. The problem was that the
"known" size was smaller than expected, returning an error to the caller.
This is a lot easier to see in local mounts. It has only been rarely seen
in clusters.
We have three "independant" problems.
1) We don't take ip_alloc_sem when touching directory allocations.
2) We don't lock em_clusters properly.
3) Local mounts race to ocfs2_extent_map_trunc() in ocfs2_meta_lock_update().
The patches that follow are against mainline. They have been tested
against 1.2 with local mounts.
Patches (1) and (2) will be ported to the ocfs2 1.2 branch directly,
and all three fixes will be pushed to mainline.

on all 3 of them. They fix the problem as i reported it, but it looks like they
introduce a performance hit. Somebody other than me should test it too.
