[Ocfs-users] Clarification on 1.0.14-1

[Sunil Mushran]

In 1.0.13, we were using the generic aio r/w calls 
(generic_file_aio_read, etc.)
provided by the kernel. Instead of fixing those and deal with the ABI 
compatibility
issues, we implemented them afresh as ocfs_aio_read/write. To do that, we
needed few unexported symbols exported. The EL3 U4 exposes those symbols
to the modules.

Let us know how your testing goes.
