	[861d6660] exofs: don't leak io_state and pages on read error (2012-12-14 12:17:32 +0200)

These are just 3 patches, the last two are bug fixes on the error paths
in exofs.

The important patch is the one to osd_uld which adds sysfs info to osd
devices for use by user-mode clustering discovery software. I'm already
sitting on this patch since before February this year, It is important for
some of the big installation cluster systems, who's been compiling their
own kernel just for that patch.
I'm a bit perplexed by this.  You got notice when it was added to the
SCSI tree and now it's already upstream:

commit 51976a8c85cec0c62e410bc38b8a11dbc690764d
Author: Boaz Harrosh [off-list ref]

    [SCSI] osd_uld: Add osdname & systemid sysfs at scsi_osd class

But the authorship info differs ... it looks like you forgot to include
the From: tag in your original patch send.
