I am sorry, the last patch "fix the outdated comment in
ext2_nfs_get_inode()" has some " whitespace errors detected". So
correct it and remake it.

I will be more careful later.
 Hmm, your patch still has mangled whitespaces and wrapped long lines.
Please make sure your mailer doesn't do it or use git send-email to send
patches. Also the subject line misses "ext2:" in the beginning (after
[PATCH]). Finally, I've further changed the text in the comment because
"And" does not really make sense in that context to me. The patch I now
carry in my tree is below.
