[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] A-nokernel.patch
Removes non-kernel code (conditioned by !defined( __KERNEL__ ))
Doesn't change functionality in any way.
(747 loc, 18734 bytes)
[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] B-fsck.patch
Removes code pertaining to reiserfsck conditioned by
defined( REISERFS_FSCK ).
Doesn't change functionality in any way.
(448 loc, 15980 bytes)
[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] C-reiserfs-check.patch
Replaces consistency checks inside defined( CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK )
with RFALSE()---assert-like macro. Makes code more readable and compact.
Doesn't change functionality in any way.
(3212 loc, 132138 bytes)
[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] D-constness-format-strings.patch
Add "const" qualifier to parameters of functions.
Correct wrong or inconsistent format strings and arguments
passed to printf-like functions.
Improves typechecking, fixes some bugs (never detected in practice),
probably leaves gcc with more room for optimisations.

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] E-prints.c-cleanup.patch
Patch by Jeff Mahoney to replace ugly do_reiserfs_warning() macro in
fs/reiserfs/prints.c with function.
(192 loc, 5070 bytes)
F-signed-hash.patch
Patch by Jeff Mahoney to add "signed" to prototypes of hash functions
in fs/reiserfs/hashes.c so that they work identically independently of
default "signness" of a given platform.
WARNING: If you ever apply this patch on the platform where default char
is "unsigned" you should apply following script to all reiserfs
mounts:
-------[do not cut-n-paste this from browser]-----
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "usage: find-high-ascii.sh <basedir>"
exit 1
fi
find $1 -name '*[�-�]*'
-------[do not cut-n-paste this from browser]-----
Then backup all files found by this script, remove them, reboot with
patched kernel, and restore backup.

G-preserve-list.patch
Patch by Jeff Mahoney to remove unused obsolete "preserve-list" code
(some early form of journalling).
(466 loc, 19661 bytes)
H-right-delim-key.patch
Patch by Jeff Mahoney to remove unused obsolete "right-delimiting-key"
code.
(256 loc, 10726 bytes)
I-procinfo.patch
Add configuration option to create under /proc/fs/reiserfs
hierarchy of files, displaying various ReiserFS statistics and
internal data on the expense of making your kernel or module
slightly larger (+8K). This also increases amount of kernel memory
required for each mount. Only ReiserFS developers and people
fine-tuning reiserfs or tracing problems should be interested in this.
