Ocfs2 devel - Feb 2011 - forget_all_cached_acls()

Hey everyone,
	I just found out from Steven over in GFS2 that there is a kernel
call forget_all_cached_acls().  If a cluster filesystem is using ACL
caching (added by Viro a little while back), they use
forget_all_cached_acls() at lock drop time to make sure they don't have
stale ACL info.
	We're not using cached_acls yet, but if someone adds it, please
remember this call ;-)

I remembered that Jeff did some work on it when I was at Oracle.
So Jeff, did you still work on it now?
