+Subject: [PATCH 01/16] ocfs2: Modify ocfs2_num_free_extents for future xattr usage.
+Patch-mainline: 2.6.28?
+References: FATE302067
+
+ocfs2_num_free_extents() is used to find the number of free extent records
+in an inode btree. Hence, it takes an "ocfs2_dinode" parameter. We want to
+use this for extended attribute trees in the future, so genericize the
+interface the take a buffer head. A future patch will allow that buffer_head
+to contain any structure rooting an ocfs2 btree.
