Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.20.4 fix kernel panic on corrupted reiserfs directory

Hi,
  When reading corrupted reiserfs directory data, d_reclen
  could be a negative number, then memcpy will overflow
  kernel stack. This can lead to kernel panic.
  The following patch adds a sanity check. (against 2.6.20.4)
