2020-06-15jffs2: Replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

2008-08-01[JFFS2] Fix allocation of summary bufferDavid Woodhouse
We can't use vmalloc for the buffer we use for writing summaries, because some drivers may want to DMA from it. So limit the size to 64KiB and use kmalloc for it instead. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2007-04-25[JFFS2] Tidy up licensing/copyright boilerplate.David Woodhouse
In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

2006-05-21[JFFS2] Introduce jffs2_scan_dirty_space() function.David Woodhouse
To eliminate the __totlen field from struct jffs2_raw_node_ref, we need to allocate nodes for dirty space instead of just tweaking the accounting data. Introduce jffs2_scan_dirty_space() in preparation for that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2006-05-20[JFFS2] Optimise reading of eraseblock summary nodesDavid Woodhouse
This improves the time to mount 512MiB of NAND flash on my OLPC prototype by about 4%. We used to read the last page of the eraseblock twice -- once to find the offset of the summary node, and again to actually _read_ the summary node. Now we read the last page only once, and read more only if we need to. We also don't allocate a new buffer just for the summary code -- we use the buffer which was already allocated for the scan. Better still, if the 'buffer' for the scan is actually just a pointer directly into NOR flash, we use that too, avoiding the memcpy() which we used to do.

2006-05-13[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)KaiGai Kohei
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

2005-11-06[JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement)Ferenc Havasi
The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS) stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them) just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is needed at mount time. This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too. There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary information for a JFFS2 image.
