Thanks Linus. I've replied to Tetsuo's patch. Honestly, I've seen the patch when Tetsuo sent it but reiserfs fuzzing bugs are not high on my priority list so I forgot about it before I found time to understand what's going on there. I think his patch is safe but I'm not sure it is a complete solution so let's wait a bit what he has to say. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
