This directory contains patches that are queued for sending to Linus
for inclusion into next official kernel.
They are not yet thoroughly tested (26.11.2001) and your testing and
feedback are most welcome.
All patches are subject to in-place modification without further notice.
They should be applied in alphabetical order against vanilla official
kernel.
A-long_symlinks_fix.diff
Symlink-body length check was made against incorrect value, allowing for too long nodes to be
inserted into tree. This might lead to obscure warnings in some cases.
B-v3.6_uuid_support-1.diff
Support for labels and UUIDs on v3.6 filesystems (older ones seems not to have enough space in superblock)
C-kmalloc_cleanup.diff
Use reiserfs_kmalloc in all places, where kmalloc is needed. Now reiserfs_kmalloc only have extra overhead if
CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is set.
D-reiserfs_not_experimental.diff
Reiserfs is now have all known bugs fixed and therefore advanced to "stable" (as opposed to experimental)
E-unlink_print_nogarbage.diff
Diagnostic print during unlinking files scheduled for unlink before system crash
printed some garbage (kernel debug level) in the middle of string.
G-expanding-truncate-4.diff
This patch makes sure that indirect pointers for holes are correctly filled in by zeroes at
hole-creation time. (Author is Chris Mason. fs/buffer.c (generic_cont_expand) were written by
Alexander Viro)
K-big-endian-const.patch
Suppress compilation warnings on big endian platform.
M-remount-options.patch
Handle more options on remount: notail, no_border,
no_unhashed_relocation, hashed_relocation, test4
N-more-procfs.patch
Gather information in /proc/fs/reiserfs about restarts of tree
updates: this is small but useful addition to procinfo patch.
