Reiser4 patch for latest linux 5.10.x kernels does not work

[selkfoster]

Hello,

Matías Fonzo here, maintainer of Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre[1][2].

I just upgraded to linux version 5.10.100 applying the patch of reiser4 (5.10.2). It gives the following build errors:

Hello Matias,

Could you please also apply this patch from the ./fs/reiser4 directory: https://github.com/edward6/reiser4/commit/de7c84bd06bf4044b9a052eaf6266322fa4aa02c

Let me know, if any problems.

Thanks, Edward.

Hi @edward6 !

I just finished the compilation, there were no errors after applying the patch you said.

It would be nice if the patches can be published on the SourceForge link[1].

I am closing this issue. Thanks for maintaining the ReiserFS!
