Hi Stephen -

Thanks for the reminder on this one. I have a series of patches that
rework the reiserfs xattr implementation. One of the patches adds
journalling for xattrs, including putting the inherited ACLs in the same
transaction as the object creation. Adding the SELinux attribute to the
same transaction wouldn't be too much of a problem.

I should have a patch tomorrow, though it will depend on the xattr patchset.

-Jeff
