SubjectRe: [stable] [PATCH] 2.6.22.6 fix kernel panic on corrupted reiserfs directory
[snap]

Hi,
When reading corrupted reiserfs directory data, d_reclen
could be a negative number or a big positive number, this
can lead to kernel panic or oop.
The following patch adds a sanity check. (against 2.6.20.4)
