While trying to find the cause of problems with reiser4 in recent kernels I came across this.
Incomplete write handling seem to be missing from reiser4_write_extent() thanks to reiser4-temp-fix.patch. Strangely, there is a patch by Edward Shishkin that should address that issue, but it is missing from -mm tree. Please check.

This patch was added to -mm tree the 14 Dec 2006 (see http://www.mail-archive.com/mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg05338.html).
It was then dropped from -mm tree the 05 Mar 2007 (see http://www.mail-archive.com/mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg10818.html), with this comment:
"This patch was dropped because it is obsolete"
No idea why it was obsolete. Does somebody know ?
