This directory contains patches that were sent to Alan Cox for inclusion
into next -ac patches. They are mostly cleanups.

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] A-nokernel.patch
    Removes non-kernel code (conditioned by !defined( __KERNEL__ ))
    Doesn't change functionality in any way.
    (747 loc, 18734 bytes)

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] B-fsck.patch
    Removes code pertaining to reiserfsck conditioned by
    defined( REISERFS_FSCK ).
    Doesn't change functionality in any way.
    (448 loc, 15980 bytes)

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] C-reiserfs-check.patch
    Replaces consistency checks inside defined( CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK )
    with RFALSE()---assert-like macro. Makes code more readable and compact.
    Doesn't change functionality in any way.
    (3212 loc, 132138 bytes)

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] D-constness-format-strings.patch
    Add "const" qualifier to parameters of functions.
    Correct wrong or inconsistent format strings and arguments 
    passed to printf-like functions.
    Improves typechecking, fixes some bugs (never detected in practice),
    probably leaves gcc with more room for optimisations.
    (1079 loc, 48559 bytes)

[ACCEPTED in 2.4.7-ac3] E-prints.c-cleanup.patch
    Patch by Jeff Mahoney to replace ugly do_reiserfs_warning() macro in 
    fs/reiserfs/prints.c with function.
    (192 loc, 5070 bytes)

F-signed-hash.patch
    Patch by Jeff Mahoney to add "signed" to prototypes of hash functions
    in fs/reiserfs/hashes.c so that they work identically independently of
    default "signness" of a given platform. 
    WARNING: If you ever apply this patch on the platform where default char
             is "unsigned" you should apply following script to all reiserfs
             mounts:
-------[do not cut-n-paste this from browser]-----
    #!/bin/sh
    
    if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
        echo "usage: find-high-ascii.sh <basedir>"
        exit 1
    fi
    find $1 -name '*[€-ÿ]*'
-------[do not cut-n-paste this from browser]-----
    Then backup all files found by this script, remove them, reboot with
    patched kernel, and restore backup.
    (65 loc, 2410 bytes)

G-preserve-list.patch
    Patch by Jeff Mahoney to remove unused obsolete "preserve-list" code
    (some early form of journalling).
    (466 loc, 19661 bytes)

H-right-delim-key.patch
    Patch by Jeff Mahoney to remove unused obsolete "right-delimiting-key"
    code.
    (256 loc, 10726 bytes)

I-procinfo.patch
    Add configuration option to create under /proc/fs/reiserfs
    hierarchy of files, displaying various ReiserFS statistics and 
    internal data on the expense of making your kernel or module 
    slightly larger (+8K). This also increases amount of kernel memory
    required for each mount. Only ReiserFS developers and people 
    fine-tuning reiserfs or tracing problems should be interested in this.
