I'm a kernel dev newbie. Please double check my work if in doubt. The patch for reiser4 support for Linux 5.8.1 didn't apply to 5.8.10. It needed only a one line change, but because of all the fuzzy matching and offset matching I thought I'd make a new one. The file that failed to patch is fs/fs-writeback.c. A struct got one of it's members removed. As the entire struct was removed by the patch
Hi David, Precisely speaking, it is not removed, but moved to a header file. Anyway, I guess that the missing member wasn't used by reiser4, so feel free to ignore it. Thanks, Edward. I
thought it good to ignore the missing member instead of trying to dig up what it was used for and why it was removed. Thanks, David
