Hi,
yesterday I threw together a patchset to enable reiser4 for the vanilla
2.6.9-rc3 kernel. Basically I just downloaded the broken-out -mm2 patch and
applied the reiser4 patches in the order described by the "patch-series"
file. I did this because -mm has been too unstable for me and I don't need al
the features that can be found in -cko or -klak or others patchsets.
I would like to know how many troubles I'm running into :) So far the kernel
seems to go fine and dandy, and some fsck's did not reveal any problem. I had
to manually edit the reiser4-reget-something patch, which failed because it
wanted to use the write_lock function instead of the spin_lock function that
is found in vanilla -rc3. Also, I had to apply two non-reiser4 patches. The
first added the "i_sb_list" member to the inode structure (it was the
inodes-speedup patch), the second enabled generic acl and got rid of the
"undeclared function" warning gcc gave. Now all reiser4 stuff compiles with
no warnings at all.
What are the pitfalls I'm falling in, doing this? Is this safe or is there
stuff in -mm that is absolutely needed by reiser4?
Thanks!

I did the same some time ago with the last official snapshot, which has
worked fine for me so far. reiser4 is used for my gentoo portage tree,
my /var filesystem, for a partition where portage compiles the packages
on and for Squid's cache (Squid is a http and ftp proxy).

Well I'd make the guess that if there is something in the mm kernel
which is absolutely needed by reiser4 then the thing won't link or you
will be unable to load the module if you chose to compile it as a
module.

That's my guess too. I've also noticed that apart from the changes I talked
about in my previous mail, the reiser4 patches applied cleanly.
However I still would like to hear from the devs about this issue. I've got
my / partition on reiser4, so forgive me if I'm pretty picky about this ;-)
Best regards,
