The patch titled ReiserFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is reiserfs-make-sure-all-dentries-refs-are-released-before-calling-kill_block_super-try-2.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ReiserFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_block_super() so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true. What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_block_super(). Changes made in [try #2]: (*) reiserfs_kill_sb() now checks that the superblock FS info pointer is set before trying to dereference it.
