As you may know, there were some deadlock problems with ReiserFS 3.6.5 and
kernel >= 2.3.99-pre7-4. I submitted a patch for this problem earlier but it
also broke the swap-out code in some other cases. Fortunately, whatever was
originally causing the race condition with ReiserFS and writing out dirty mmaped
pages now appears to be fixed as of 2.3.99-pre9-5. I have not stress-tested this
prepatch though, so others might want to confirm this too.
