Hi,
I've been trying to narrow down the possible sources of oppses in
reiser4_do_readpage_extent (vs-1426, nikita-2688) patch by patch.
Reverting reiser4-use-generic-file-read.patch & friends didn't have any
effect, downgrading kernel from 2.6.21-rc5 to 2.6.20 too. Eventually it
all came down to 0046-reiser4-drop-unused-semaphores.patch. I don't have
a reliable way to trigger the bug, but one of my vmware sandboxes with
reiser4 root always oppses when I do emerge binutils right after boot.
With this patch reverted it no longer happens. **
You can find original patch at:
http://laurent.riffard.free.fr/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6.21-rc1/broken-out/
I attached patch that adds mutex_write back to reiser4_inode, but as
real mutex now instead of semaphore. Cryptcompress rw semaphore is not
added back. Updated reiser4-fix-write_extent.patch with proper
identation is also attached.
Perhaps this is not a proper fix and only hides real culprit, but at
least I do not see oppses now. I do not yet know if this also solves
problem with zeroed out files.
