These code are introduced long time ago...
Refer to commit b4df6ed8db0c "[PATCH] ocfs2: fix orphan recovery
deadlock", I guess it plays a role 'barrier' and make sure test node map
is executed prior than signal orphan recovery thread. In other words, to
serialize evict inode and orphan recovery.

Thanks,

Ok, so just leave it as-is.

Should I resend the serie without this patch, or can 1/3 and 3/3 be applied as-is?
