Hi all,
I am studying and characterizing yaffs2 as part of my grad project.
Well I see that on creating a file 2 chunks get written one after other and when the second is written the first is invalidated. The first gets written due to call to UpdateObjectHeader from yaffs_MknodObject while the second is written due to call to UpdateObjectHeader from yaffs_setattr. So why do we write object header again to flash on setattr and not just call inode_setattr and return? Is there any specific reason for writing a chunk on setattr? This always wastes one chunk on file creation.
Please respond with your valuable feedbak.
Thanks,
Sandeep
