Description

We have early access to the RHEL6.2 kernel, and we have identified a few things that needed fixing to allow lustre and ldiskfs to compile. The following two lustre bugs have patches against master:

LU-766 - Incorrect HAVE_STATFS_DENTRY_PARAM result
LU-778 - RHEL 6.2: rdma_create_id() takes four arguments

ldiskfs needed several patches refreshed (at minimum, I did not look very closely to see if ext4 functionality changed). I made a rhel6.2 series and new patch files for any that needed refreshing. They can be found in our external ldiskfs package:

in commit d7af3f4.
