This is a list of the patches that I used to get the YAFFS userland
programs (host: mkyaffsimage, target: mkyaffs) working for Linux 2.6.10.

These changes have not checked for compatibility with Linux 2.4, but I tried
to be compatible.

Some of these fixes have been sent to this email list before, but I am
including them in this set so that I have everything I've done grouped
together in an easily found set.


yaffs_userland_01_base.patch

   The userland related files, as of Oct 27, 2004, from 
      http://www.aleph1.co.uk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yaffs/
      "Download tarball" link

   I won't send this patch to the email list, since the files can be
   retrieved from the web sit.

   The files are:
      devextras.h
      nand_ecc.c
      yaffs_guts.h
      yportenv.h
      utils/Makefile
      utils/mkyaffs.c
      utils/mkyaffsimage.c


yaffs_userland_02_fixup_rh9.patch

   Changes needed to allow compilation of host program on Redhat 9.0.
      - /usr/include/bits/stat.h defines st_atime, st_mtime, st_ctime, thus
        these strings can not be used as field names in a yaffs data
        structure.
      - This possible fix has been discussed on the email list, but no final
        resolution exists yet.


yaffs_userland_03_mkyaffs_oobinfo.patch

   Changes needed to allow compilation of target program.
      - Declarations needed for mtd ioctls moved from the Linux 2.4 location of
        /usr/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h to the kernel header file mtd/mtd-user.h
      - Fix #include in util/mkyaffs.c.
      - Add eccbytes field to initialization of yaffs_oobinfo if Linux 2.6.
      - It is really bad to include kernel header files into userland
        programs, but I included <linux/version.h> so that Linux 2.4 vs
	Linux 2.6 could be checked.


yaffs_userland_04_fix_warnings.patch

   Make host and target program compile warnings go away....  I like my newly
   introduced errors to be more obvious.


yaffs_userland_05_64bit.patch

   struct yaffs_ObjectHeader describes an object that resides in the YAFFS
   filesystem, in the flash.  The size of the structure and offsets within
   the structure must be the same, whether on a 32 bit system or a 64 bit
   system.
      - Fix the data types used in the structure.
      - Not tested on a 64 bit system.


yaffs_userland_06_mkyaffs_damaged_count.patch

   mkyaffs writes a YAFFS filesystem image into flash, skipping damaged
   blocks in the flash.  mkyaffs checks to make sure that the image is
   not larger than the flash before beginning to write the image.
      - The image size is compared against the size of the flash, not the
        number of undamaged blocks.  Add a check to detect if the size of
        the undamaged blocks was sufficient to contain the image.


yaffs_userland_07_mkyaffs_printf.patch

   mkyaffs has an incorrect format specifier in printf().
      - Fix it.


yaffs_userland_08_mkyaffsimage_argc.patch

   mkyaffsimage incorrectly implements check of value of argc.
      - Fix it.


yaffs_userland_09_mkyaffsimage_error_handling.patch

   mkyaffsimage error handling done slightly incorrectly and inconsistently.
      - Fix it.


yaffs_userland_10_mkyaffsimage_buf_overflow.patch

   Possible buffer overflow in mkyaffsimage, if path of source filesystem
   tree is too long.
      - Change sprintf() to snprintf() to prevent overflow.
