Replying to [comment:1 Sebastian Huber]:
> Thanks for your interest in the RTEMS port of JFFS2. If you have
questions, then you could also ask them on the [email protected] mailing
list. The RTEMS port of JFFS2 does not use a file system internal locking.
There is a global lock for each JFFS2 instance:
> {{{#!c
> static void rtems_jffs2_do_lock(struct super_block *sb)
> {
> rtems_recursive_mutex_lock(&sb->s_mutex);
> }
>
> static void rtems_jffs2_do_unlock(struct super_block *sb)
> {
> rtems_recursive_mutex_unlock(&sb->s_mutex);
> }
> }}}
Suppose that a GC thread or other thread/task calls
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass, and then operates sb->s_root by
jffs2_iget.meanwhile, the main task accesing sb->s_root. a global lock for
each JFFS2 instance can't work.
