It's been languishing in -mm for ages, never mind any progress that namesys itself might make with their own code. In a nutshell, Hans tries to swim upstream with the linux kernel devs. That doesn't work in life, it doesn't work with one's spuse and it won;t work with Linus and the other devs. Just because code is involved doesn't mean that normal human interaction doesn't apply And it's highly unlikely that Linus will ever pull it into mainline. The reiser coding style is somewhat ... problematic for kernel devs the problematic coding style was not a problem for XFS. But hey, one of the biggest reiser4 critics is also XFS dev Reiserfs is designed to fit into the linux kernel, it's the whole total reason for it's existence. XFS on the other hand, was a pre-existing body of code written by SGI for Irix. SGI essentially said to lkml Look, here's this stuff that works on Irix. We think it's cool and we're willing to let you have it. Want it? The kernel devs accepted it knowing full well that the circumstances were entirely different from say ext2/3 and it had to be accepted and used under fundamentally different viewpoints from most of the other stuff in the kernel. Linus was especially sane on this point and refused to be a pedantic git when he said Under no theory of copyright can this ever possibly be considered a derivative work of Linux. It's a classic example of the point where geeks need to realize that humans get involved with stuff like this, and human needs, wants, desires and feelings will always override strict pedantic rules more suitable to cpu code execution. We geeks are very fond of saying that we will accept kernel code based purely on it's merits as code. That frankly, is bullshit. We are LESS susceptible to this than most other occupations but the human element is always present and still has to be accounted for and confronted. Want another example? Jeorg Schilling. The man writes excellent code, but he's an infuriating git that no-one can work with. The hassle of putting up with him is less than the hassle of simply forking his last code where the license is uncontested.

It's been languishing in -mm for ages, never mind any progress that namesys itself might make with their own code. Edward send this to the reiserfs-ml on the 16 days ago: Current status of Reiser4 (Jan 31, 2008). I. Todo for inclusion: This is an update of the following version: http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:tzvFNZjSsNYJ:pub.namesys.com/Reiser4/ToDo #10,11: Cleanups. There are 74 pending patches prepared by Dushan: http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-develr=1b=200710w=2 which are supposed to be reviewed by another person and pushed to the current -mm as a big single patch _before_ the next portion of cleanups. #3 There is a pending patch to review/merge: http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-develm=119316601418489w=2 #9: I don't see any leaked jref there. Perhaps we need to rewrite this portion of code to make it more clear. #1,2,4: Here we need to explain why the pair igrab/iput (igrab in reiser4_writepage, iput in entd()) won't hummer inode_lock. Actually we need to pin inode for entd, as inode can be reused, or evicted from memory at the moment when entd starts to process the request. Entd is a kernel thread, which performs an active response to every memory pressure notification (writepage). IMHO this is not a good design. Getting rid of entd would address #1,2,4 automatically (currently I am working on this). #5: Here should go detailed comments how do reiser4 respond to memory pressure notification (writepage, see above). If mainline vm experts will be unhappy with this, then, I guess, we'll need eflush back, plus a eflush port for cryptcompress file plugin. Eflush (emergency flush) is a passive response to writepage(), which pushes dirty pages to temporary location on disk. Eflush code for default (unix-file) plugin has been dropped ~1.5 years ago in accordance with Hans' direction in order to stimulate better solutions. #14 Should be marked as not done and needs to be addressed. II. Longterm todo Here are some technical details for the items listed in this document: http://lwn.net/Articles/226251 (see Appendix D, 11.2-11.4). Xattrs support (listed as #12 in the previous todo, but not necessary for inclusion) would be a serious project which requires only knowledges of VFS/Reiser4/Reiser4progs internals. I think that xattrs should be implemented via special reiser4 stat-data extensions. However, currently reiser4 supports only solid stat-data items (an item is solid, if it consists of exactly one unit, i.e. can not be split into two or more mergeable items). It means that amount of information contained in file's xattrs will be restricted by ~4000 bytes (blocksize - size-of-node-header - size-of-item-header - size-of-standard-stat-data-extensions (for i_size, i_mtime, i_ctime, i_mode, etc..)). I don't know if it is enough to integrate reiser4 with Selinux. If not, then we'll need one more stat-data item plugin to support not solid stat-data items. As per encryption support: current reiser4 kernel module and reiser4progs are pretty aware about this, so IMHO we just need an integration with some existing key manager (I would take a look how things are going in eCryptFS). Also we need a fast IV generator for chaining cipher modes. I have proposed a simple one based on iv-seed, which is calculated as object's id (i_ino), but not sure if it is stable against watermark attack. ECC-signatures support should be implemented via a new node41 plugin (i.e. we need to define proper node format and plugin methods that take into account space for per-node signature storage (for example, if we use an adler32 checksum as ECC-signature, then we need 4 bytes per node). Supporting such signatures allows to increase robustness. Currently reiser4 performs data (not metadata) checksumming for files managed by cryptcompress file plugin. However, metadata protection is not a less important feature. I think, that we need something like Reed-Solomon signatures rather then checksums, because all modern hard drives already perform checksumming. I believe there are reasonable GPL's libraries that implement RS-arithmetic which can be interesting for us. All reiser4 documentation has been performed as comments in the source code. Also there are links to some useful stuff: reiser4 transaction design document: http://lwn.net/2001/1108/a/reiser4-transaction.php3 whitepaper: http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:EwK-ZBZaSxwJ:www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html Trees in the Reiser4 Filesystem, Part I,II: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6267 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6569 Thanks, Edward.
