Hi Peter

Could you try adding a bit more tracing to the YMALLOC to verify that that is 
the chain that is causing the problem.

Also try extending the tracing  on the locking with something like:
static void yaffs_GrossLock(yaffs_Device * dev)
{
        T(YAFFS_TRACE_OS, (KERN_DEBUG "yaffs locking %p\n",current));
  
        down(&dev->grossLock);
        T(YAFFS_TRACE_OS, (KERN_DEBUG "yaffs locked %p\n",current)); 
 
}

static void yaffs_GrossUnlock(yaffs_Device * dev)
{
        T(YAFFS_TRACE_OS, (KERN_DEBUG "yaffs unlocking %p\n",current));
        up(&dev->grossLock);
 
}

that should confirm the chain for us.

Perhaps the NOFS flag is not being honoured the way that was being expected.
