Well, this reiser4 patch is basically doing 3 things at once:
1. Introduce ->sync_inodes()
2. Move spin_lock(&inode_lock);
3. Export generic_sync_sb_inodes()

As Christoph suggested, I've attached a patch which just moves the
spinlock. Could you please consider sending it to Linus or taking into your tree?
Should I amend the reiser4 patch correspondingly for you?

Also, what do you think about taking UBIFS into your tree?
