While trying to find the cause of problems with reiser4 in recent kernels I came across this.

Incomplete write handling seem to be missing from reiser4_write_extent() thanks to reiser4-temp-fix.patch. Strangely, there is a patch by Edward Shishkin that should address that issue, but it is missing from -mm tree. Please check.

This patch was added to -mm tree the 14 Dec 2006 (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05338.html).

It was then dropped from -mm tree the 05 Mar 2007 (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10818.html), with this comment:
    "This patch was dropped because it is obsolete"

No idea why it was obsolete. Does somebody know ?


This uses not settled interface filemap_copy_from_user_atomic/nonatomic
However, those things should be fixed. I'll prepare the patch a bit later..

Thanks,
Edward.
