[ I sent this 2 days ago to [email protected], maybe I'll
get more responses in here. ]
Hi!
I would like to keep a git repo up to date with current kernel
development, with reiser4 patched in. I am having trouble finding a
repo that provides reiser4. Is there one?
Some people may have noticed the last patch doesn't apply cleanly
anymore. I made a few lines of modifications in my local repo. Maybe
that repo would be interesting for others too*.
I plan to catch up with changes from kernel development on a
daily/weekly basis; my /home partition is reiser4, so I am fairly
serious about it.
At the moment, I fetch from torvalds/linux-2.6.git and
stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git. Am I missing any other repositories that I
should try to keep up with? (A fs subsystem maintainer repo?)
next/linux-next.git is probably moving too fast for me.
Cheers,
Johannes
* How hard is it to get a git.kernel.org repo?

You can try the -mm tree, the reiser 4 patches can be found inside:
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
Hi,
I had some issues with the reiser4 patch series from -mm.
First of all, I'm not sure what release they are based on. I used
a8a8a669e from Linus' git repository. I applied all reiser4 patches
(except reiser4-disable of course) from
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/, which worked fine.
I think these patches are based on the reiser4-2.6.30 patch.
I also compared them to the reiser4-2.6.31 patch, which adds some
missing pieces ([1] reiser4-from-2.6.31-patch.patch).
Additionally, some recent commits demand some changes, especially
since current_is_pdflush and generic_sync_sb_inodes are not available
any more (d8a8559cd7a9cc).
[2] reiser4-pdflush-comments.patch only fixes some comments which still
mention pdflush.
In [3] reiser4-generic_sync_sb_inodes.patch I tried to
replace generic_sync_sb_inodes. I am not 100% sure that this is
correct, but that is what I understood from the commit diff+message of
d8a8559cd7a9cc.
The original patch
'reiser4-vfs-add-super_operationssync_inodes' introduced the call from
sync_inodes_sb to the super operation sync_inodes(sb, NULL). This NULL
pointer is dereferenced in reiser4_sync_inodes, which is fixed by
[4] reiser4-sync_inodes-null-dereference.patch.
All 4 additional patches are attached. I can only say that it works on
my machine, before I had compilation issues and freezes on 'sync'.
Cheers,
Johannes
PS: The git repo mentioned in
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/mmotm-readme.txt is not available.

Yeah, you can find it now at git.zen-kernel.org. They had to switch the adress.
Have fun
