Question about the Reiser4 patch for kernel 2.6.38

Question about the Reiser4 patch for kernel 2.6.38

[Sandro Souza]

Hello my friends. : D

Firstly, sorry for my bad English (I'm just a brazilian newbie).

Recently, I downloaded the 2.6.38 kernel sources, and I applied the
Reiser4 patch for this kernel version (for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty).

But I saw that the file "page_cache.c" has the same change (Riffard's
patch) showed in page http://linuxhelp.150m.com/jews/saboteurs.htm

This left me worried. :(

May you (Reiser4 developers) tell me if I can compile and use the
kernel this way?

May you tell me if that page is showing "unwanted" changes in the
Reiser4 source code?

Thanks in advance.

This looks like very old complaints.
Reiser4 has been adjusted to some VFS changes, which
were really needed. It could happen that those changes
caused some local problems, but all they have been fixed
long time ago.

I confirm that everything is OK in page_cache.c.

BTW, as far as I remember, all patches of Laurent Riffard
were extremely useful.

Thanks,
Edward.

Folks,
A convincing request to the owner of the web page above:
this page insults the experienced developers. Please, remove this!

Thanks!
Edward.
