Reiserfs has mount options "data=journal", "data=ordered", data=writeback,
which have the same meaning as in the case of ext3.
Description of all reiserfs mount options can be found here:

It's not in the man page; it's mentioned in some posts. Clearly, it's
recognized by mount and passed to the kernel, otherwise there'd be no
panic. Also, after it's mounted we can use
mount -o remount,data=journal. In a freshly mounted partition it seems
to work; there are no hangs, and creating/removing/changing files
works. On a busy fs it hangs.

It should work.
Are you sure that your system hangs on reiserfs?
If yes, then please, let's start with checking your
partition with reiserfsck.
Thanks,
Edward.

Does it work? Should it work? Is there any relation to the recent
changes with locking?
