 This is a series of "safe" patches that have been in the openSUSE kernel
 for a while now.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-fix-lockdep-warnings
   - Adds lockdep annotation to the xattr locks

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-no-bug-on-panic.diff
   - Replaces BUG with dump_stack in reiserfs_panic so it actually panics.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-use-is_reusable.diff
   - Enables is_reusable() for bitmap sanity checking unconditionally.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-signedness-fixes.diff
   - Ensures that block numbers are _always_ unsigned by using b_blocknr_t.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-fix-resize-meminit.diff
   - Fixes a case where the old block number count was used to zero out
     the bitmap info array during resize.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-remove-first-zero-hint.diff
   - Removes the first_zero_hint bitmap tracking code and extends the
     free count to 32-bit for support of block sizes > 8 KiB.

 * patches.suse/reiserfs-fix-large-fs.diff
   - Ignores the 16-bit on-disk bitmap block count value to allow file systems
     larger than 8 TiB.

 Please apply.

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1159 bytes --]

 This patch changes reiserfs_panic() to use panic() initially instead of
 BUG(). Using BUG() ignores the configurable panic behavior, so systems
 that should be failing and rebooting are left hanging. This causes problems
 in active/standby HA scenarios.

 This patch builds in is_reusable() unconditionally and uses it to catch
 corruption before it reaches the block freeing paths.

[-- Attachment #1: patches.suse/reiserfs-signedness-fixes.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 10818 bytes --]

 This patch does a quick signedness check for block numbers. There are
 a number of places where signed integers are used for block numbers,
 which limits the usable file system size to 8 TiB. The disk format,
 excepting a problem which will be fixed in the following patch,
 supports file systems up to 16 TiB in size. This patch cleans up those
 sites so that we can enable the full usable size.

 The following patch corrects the memset in reiserfs_resize to clear
 the memory allocated for the new bitmap info structs. Previously,
 it would clear the memory used by the old size. Depending on the
 contents of memory, this could cause incorrect caching behavior for
 bitmap blocks in the newly allocated area.

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4117 bytes --]

 The first_zero_hint metadata caching was never actually used, and it's
 of dubious optimization quality. This patch removes it.

 It doesn't actually shrink the size of the reiserfs_bitmap_info struct,
 since that doesn't work with block sizes larger than 8K. There was a big
 fixme in there, and with all the work lately in allowing block size >
 page size, I might as well kill the fixme as well.

[-- Attachment #1: patches.suse/reiserfs-fix-large-fs.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 8793 bytes --]

 This patch implements support for file systems larger than 8 TiB.

 The reiserfs superblock contains a 16 bit value for counting the number
 of bitmap blocks. The rest of the disk format supports file systems up
 to 2^32 blocks, but the bitmap block limitation artificially limits this
 to 8 TiB with a 4KiB block size.

 Rather than trust the superblock's 16-bit bitmap block count, we
 calculate it dynamically based on the number of blocks in the file
 system. When an incorrect value is observed in the superblock,
 it is zeroed out, ensuring that older kernels will not be able to
 mount the file system.

 Userspace support has already been implemented and shipped in
 reiserfsprogs 3.6.20.

I'm not particularly happy seeing a large number of complex-looking patches
against a not-very-well-maintained important filesystem more than a week
into the merge window.  It would have been far better to get this stuff
sent a month ago.

Now we're left with a choice between holding it all back for 2.5 months or
just jamming it into mainline with basically no testing.  I sure hope it
got good testing in the suse kernel.

Please only use macros when the code HAS to be implemented as a macro for
some reason.  These could have been implemented as (possibly inlined) C
functions.  

reiserfs_bmap_count() is in fact buggy - it references its argument more
than once.  Nobody will be doing reiserfs_bmap_count(foo++), but it is bad
practice.

Also, all three macros fail to sufficiently parenthesise their arguments.

All this is fixable by coding in C, not cpp...

Well, considering that probably 95% of reiserfs users are SuSE people, it 
probably did get a fairly good testing base.

That said, I agree - it would have been better to have this lined up 
before the merge window even started, in -mm or somewhere.

I'm fine being conservative here and just keeping them in -mm, then.
Depending on when our next release ends up being scheduled, I'll likely
have to maintain them out of tree anyway.

Please skip this one. It's missing a chunk. I'll post the updated patch
shortly.
