For effect of D-alloc lvb for dlm_lock,

without the patch,
[...@desk ~]$ egrep "ocfs2_inode" /proc/slabinfo
ocfs2_inode_cache     26     26   1216   26    8 : tunables    0    0    0 : 
slabdata      1      1      0

with the patch,
[...@cool linux-2.6]$ egrep "ocfs2_inode" /proc/slabinfo
ocfs2_inode_cache     32     32   1024   16    4 : tunables    0    0    0 : 
slabdata      2      2      0

#that result is for i686.

For allocated dlm_lock, there is a memory save too.
