Niltze, Ed-
Starting with kernel 5.4.19, linux/fs/fs-writeback.c , at line 2066, changes
from
set_worker_desc("flush-%s", dev_name(wb->bdi->dev));
to
set_worker_desc("flush-%s", bdi_dev_name(wb->bdi));
I realized that when I was hacking 5.4.19 and, subsequently, my currently running kernel --as there was no RC3:
uname -a
Linux huitzilopochtli 5.4.0-4+reiser4.0.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.20-1+reiser4.0.2 (2020-02-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux
< https://sourceforge.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/files/Reiser4-SFRN-4.0.2_Linux-5.4.20-1-RC2_for-Debian_Buster/ >
I have just built 5.5.5-1 and realized, upon applying reiser4-for-5.5.1.patch.gz, that your patch should be modified
accordingly; else, the patch will fail and will necessitate manual intervention, i.e., similar to 5.4.18 vs 5.4.19:

Apropos, I have not had *any* kernel hanging issues in my local, nor remote, reiser4 environments during building software
ever since you released: [PATCH] reiser4: prevent system lockups.

Best Professional Regards.
