Hello everyone.

This patch is based on reiser4-for-2.6.25 and contains the following
changes:

1) use trylock_page instead of !TestSetPageLocked (Mathieu Bélanger);
2) use file_remove_suid() instead of remove_suid() (Mathieu Bélanger);
3) fix the problem with gzip1 compression in the case when reiser4 is
   compiled as a module;
4) use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() instead of reiser4_set_page_dirty();
5) update reiser4_set_page_dirty_internal() to take into account the latest
   changes in vfs.

(4) and (5) fix annoying oom under heavy workload (reproducible with
dbench 190).

The stuff for download can be found here:

Thanks,
Edward.
