Reiser4 module and 2.6.29-x-default kernel

Reiser4 module and 2.6.29-x-default kernel

[doiggl]

Hello,
How can I manually create a installable reiser4 rpm module for a new
kernel, because the opensuse build service seems stuck on a older kernel .
I need all of the steps please, (commands please) so I can create the
installable rpm module.

2. In the past, I've used the reiser4-kmp-default-0.1_2.6.27.7_9.1-27.3
(2.6.27.7-9-default) opensuse 11.1 with good success and has worked well
for me.

How can I manually create a installable reiser4 rpm module.
I need all of the steps please, (commands please) so I can create the rpm
module with the three files (see below).

Other references I looked at but I did not understand the reiser4.spec and
how the files (see below) are generated and packaged for a newer kernel..

Hi Glenn -

I'm afraid it's not as simple as a series of commands. I do need to
update the patch to the 2.6.29 version which doesn't have the
- ->commit_write and ->prepare_write hooks that have been removed. The
other thing is that it needs more support in the kernel itself.
Previously it was limited to exports and adding a new hook, which I
could accept without much worry. I'm concerned about whether
set_buffers_dirty_notag() will make it upstream and I'm uncertain of the
interactions.

Edward - What's the reasoning behind it? Has it been submitted upstream
yet? Is it possible to use reiser4_set_dirty_pages creatively to get
the same effect?

 ah, you maintain 2.6.small_nr + series of patches..?

this goes here:

I think it'll be pushed to upstream simultaneously with reiser4,
unless someone needs to not tag every dirty page in the radix tree..

> Edward - What's the reasoning behind it?

The reason is to reduce a cost of maintenance.

Since reiser4_set_page_internal() is not in vfs library
bad things are bound to happen. For example, set_page_dirty()
and friends were modified by vfs folks to update dirty pages
accounting and of course nobody knew that there are other
"friends" in reiser4 code, so I have spent a lot of time to figure
out why oom kills processes of dbench 190...

Nup, this is in -mm

>   

Sure.
Just modify it to update dirty page accounting
(2 strings or so need to be added).
Note, that there were 2 friends in reiser4 to modify:
reiser4_set_page_dirty() and reiser4_set_page_dirty_internal().

I'm one of the maintainers of the SUSE kernels. For current Factory,
that means 2.6.30-rc6-git3 plus about 270 patches.

In this case, though, I just meant that I take the patch from your FTP
repo and turn it into a tarball for use in building an RPM. I take the
bits that aren't under fs/reiser4/ and apply them to our kernel tree so
users trying to use reiser4 aren't stuck having to rebuild their entire
kernel just to use it.

Yes, and as far as I saw, the current patch in the repo doesn't use them
either.

Ok, if that's the goal, I can just track it when I update the reiser4 patch.

Hello,
Any progress on the Reiser4 module and 2.6.29-x-default kernel ?
Is this the one that will get updated at some point (see link)  ?

Yep, that's the one. Sorry, I've been swamped lately so it may be a while.
