Laurent, would you please try 2.6.20-rc6-mm3 + this patch:

Reiser4 works fine with 2.6.20-rc6-mm2 or 2.6.20-rc6-mm3 without any additional patch (it was broken in rc6-mm1).
FWIW, Andrew removed git-block.patch from 2.6.20-rc6-mm2, and he restored git-block.patch without some problematic CFQ updates in 2.6.20-rc6-mm3.
In this case, does this patch need testing in rc6-mm3 ?
Yes. This is against git-block patch to prevent endless waiting for IO completion.
I have reproduced it by ./iozone -B -a -n 524288 -f /mnt/foo
on x86 box with 512M RAM available.
