[Yaffs] Cannot delete file using Yaffs in ARM linux 2.6.14

[YongLi]

Hello All,

I am using Linux 2.6.14 kernel on ARM cpu and added Yaffs support. I can mount and umount nand flash using Yaffs file system. However, I receive a kernel bug message if I delete the files on yaffs mtd device. After the error message, I cannot umount the mtd device. What is the root cause?

Below is the message:
