Also we've recently adopted the convention of using the "Fixes:" tag:
Fixes: 7da839c47589 ("ocfs2: use __generic_file_write_iter()")

And as the patch fixes a regression we should add the "Cc:
<stable at vger.kernel.org>" tag.

And we should the author of the bad patch for review (hi, Al).

I've made these changes and I'll get this patch into Linus this week,
for 4.2.

Subject: ocfs2: direct write will call ocfs2_rw_unlock() twice when doing aio+dio

Orabug: 21612107

ocfs2_file_write_iter() is usng the wrong return value ('written').  This
will cause ocfs2_rw_unlock() be called both in write_iter & end_io,
triggering a BUG_ON.

This issue was introduced by commit 7da839c47589 ("ocfs2: use
__generic_file_write_iter()").

Fixes: 7da839c47589 ("ocfs2: use __generic_file_write_iter()")
