In mainline, the issue was addressed in 2.6.21.

In enterprise kernels, the issue was addressed in 1.2.4-2.

If you are on (RH)EL4 or (RH)EL5, install 1.2.9-1.
If you are on SLES9 SP4 or SLES10 SP1, upgrade to the
latest kernel.

However when this is tried, I get the following:

> missing value

Searching the archives I found this post:

Which seems to indicate that an older version of ocfs2 will be needed to 
host an Oracle installation.

However, I also saw this post: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02462.html

Which seems to indicate that a newer kernel (and thereby newer ocfs2) is 
needed to correct a memory leak.

So, I'm a little confused as to which ocfs2 version should be used and 
whether or not that means an older kernel (and potentially a memory 
leak) will be required.
