Subject: [Yaffs] Kernel upgrade 2.6.10 to 2.6.22 causing yaffs corruption
I'm working on upgrading a client's kernel from 2.6.10 to
2.6.22. They are using yaffs to store their configuration
data.

When I start the 2.6.22 kernel, I get a number of the following:
**>> yaffs chunk 32 was not erased

If I run 2.6.10 after writing the files from 2.6.22 I get
blocks with ECC errors in them, and the files get corrupted.

After adding some debug in to yaffs_ECCCorrect, the following
seems to be indicative of the output:

yaffs_ECCCorrect: READ 02,00,10 WANT ff,ff,ff, DIFF fd,ff,ef


I have run a diff of the 2.6.10 source tree's yaffs, and the
summary of the changes is:

fs/yaffs2/yaffs_fs.c    1.61 => 1.63


fs/yaffs2/yaffs_tagscompat.c and yaffs2/yportenv.h seem to have
changed but no change in CVSID.

The 2.6.22 was patches from the CVS at 24th September 2007.

Anyone have any pointers about debugging this problem, or is it
a problem that people have seen before?

The NAND controller is an S3C2412, although it seems that neither
kernel is trying to use the hardware generated ECCs.


Yaffs config:
CONFIG_YAFFS_FS=y
CONFIG_YAFFS_YAFFS1=y
# CONFIG_YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_DOES_ECC=y
# CONFIG_YAFFS_ECC_WRONG_ORDER is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_YAFFS2=y
CONFIG_YAFFS_AUTO_YAFFS2=y
# CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_LAZY_LOAD is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_CHECKPOINT_RESERVED_BLOCKS=10
# CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_WIDE_TNODES is not set
# CONFIG_YAFFS_ALWAYS_CHECK_CHUNK_ERASED is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_SHORT_NAMES_IN_RAM=y
