The patch titled
     ext3: refuse ro to rw remount of fs with orphan inodes
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ext3-refuse-ro-to-rw-remount-of-fs-with-orphan.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ext3: refuse ro to rw remount of fs with orphan inodes
From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

In the rare case where we have skipped orphan inode processing due to a
readonly block device, and the block device subsequently changes back to
read-write, disallow a remount,rw transition of the filesystem when we have an
unprocessed orphan inodes as this would corrupt the list.

Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's
trickier, and this plugs the hole for now.
