Hello.

Correct, but not enough:
return value BIO_EOPNOTSUPP has gone with WRITE_BARRIER,
and vfs changes in default_llseek() now cause self-blocking in ->llseek()
reiser4 file operation path.

Actually, I have already prepared the patch for .37 at last weekends
(still testing), will be available soon.

Anyway thanks!
Edward.
