I think I found it, according to fs/inode.c:1039 if (op->delete_inode) { void (*delete)(struct inode *) = op->delete_inode; if (!is_bad_inode(inode)) DQUOT_INIT(inode); /* Filesystems implementing their own * s_op->delete_inode are required to call * truncate_inode_pages and clear_inode() * internally */ delete(inode); } else { truncate_inode_pages(&inode->i_data, 0); clear_inode(inode); } However, yaffs_delete_inode does not call truncate_inode_pages. The attached patch seems to resolve it.
