Stephen,

I guess Al is traveling or something.

Until it finds its way to the VFS tree, it would be nice if this
reiserfs bkl removal tree could be included in linux-next
for testing.
Could you please include it ?

You can pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
reiserfs/kill-bkl-rc6

Thanks!
