Hi,
When reading corrupted reiserfs directory data, d_reclen
could be a negative number or a big positive number, this
can lead to kernel panic or oop.
The following patch adds a sanity check. (against 2.6.20.4)
Signed-off-by: Lepton Wu <[email protected]>

it is Lepton's patch.
Namesys boys, this patch is OK?
Greg, I neither do find this patch in Linus's tree.
