Merge branch 'fix-max-write' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/teigland/linux-dlm
Pull dlm fix from David Teigland: "Thanks to Jana who reported the problem and was able to test this fix so quickly." This fixes an incorrect size check that triggered for CONFIG_COMPAT whether the code was actually doing compat or not. The incorrect write size check broke userland (clvmd) when maximum resource name lengths are used. * 'fix-max-write' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/teigland/linux-dlm: dlm: check the write size from user
