This patch removes an assignment in super.c in reiserfs that caused deadlock
when mounting my reiser-filesystems.
the original code looks like this:
size = block_size(s->s_dev);
sb_set_blocksize(s, size);
/* read block (64-th 1k block), which can contain reiserfs super block */
if (read_super_block (s, REISERFS_DISK_OFFSET_IN_BYTES)) {
// try old format (undistributed bitmap, super block in 8-th 1k block of a device)
sb_set_blocksize(s, size);
if (read_super_block (s, REISERFS_OLD_DISK_OFFSET_IN_BYTES))
goto error;
else
old_format = 1;
}
s->s_blocksize = size;
If read_super_block() changes the blocksize in the superblock it shouldn't
be restored again, should it?
With the following patch i can mount my reiserfs:es without deadlock.
