The patch titled Subject: reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was reiserfs-delay-reiserfs-lock-until-journal-initialization.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization In the mount path, transactions that are made before journal initialization don't involve the filesystem. We can delay the reiserfs lock until we play with the journal.
