[PATCH] Fix reiserfs inode size update race
reiserfs_file_write unlocks the pages it operated on before updating i_size. This can lead to races with writepage, who checks i_size when deciding how much of the file to zero out. This patch also replaces SetPageReferenced with mark_page_accessed() in reiserfs_file_write This was verified to fix the BitKeeper data corruption problems that Steven Cole has been debugging, where concurrent writes to a file and writebacks to disk would cause zeroes in the file when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled.
