This patch seems to break squashfs for me on i386 and amd64. 

Test environment is a squashed filesystem image (live CD image, but also 
tested manually with a loop mounted iso9660 and loop mounted squashfs; 
kernel 2.6.29-rc7-git2). The squashfs image has been created with 
squashfs-tools CVS[1] as of today (latest commit 2009-03-03).

# mkdir /tmp/pkg
# mount -o loop /var/cache/pyfll/sidux-snapshot-xfce-lite-i386-200903091945.iso /mnt
# mount -t squashfs -o loop /mnt/sidux/sidux.686 /mnt/
# LANG= cp -a /mnt/ /tmp/pkg/

dmesg shows the following:

Reverting just this patch[2] results in flawless operations (I have the 
same problems [and workaround, by reverting this patch] with the squashfs4 
patches applied to 2.6.28.7, so that seems to rule out unrelated breakage).
