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-pick_correct_key_version.diff
This is to fix certain cases where items may get its keys to be interpreted
wrong, or to be inserted into the tree in wrong order. This bug was only
observed live on 2.5.3, though it is present in 2.4, too.
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-unfinished_rebuildtree_message.diff
If we encounter traces of unfinished reiserfsck --rebuild-tree run,
tell user to complete rebuild tree process
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.
F-corrupt_items_checks.diff
Certain disk corruptions may end-up making item-type to be garbage. This patch makes reiserfs not to crash when
dealing with such items.
G-nfs_stale_inode_access.diff
This is to fix a case where stale NFS handles are correctly detected as
stale, but inodes assotiated with them are still valid and present in cache,
hence there is no way to deal with files, these handles are attached to.

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.
