Dear All, During the final testing of my model-based-patch I think I found a bug in fs/jffs2/nodemgmt.c In function jffs2_mark_node_obsolete() at the part of "Merge with the next node in the physical list, if there is one and if it's also obsolete" there is a comment: "we don't need to check jeb->last_node". Is it right? Because I think we should deal with jeb->last_node here, or should not use "D1(ACCT_PARANOIA_CHECK(jeb));" statement any more, but now it is used by also this function. ACCT_PARANOIA_CHECK walk throught the nodes (using next_phys) and if at the end of the list is not equals to jeb->last_node than halts. Unfortunatelly with simple "NULL pointer dereference" without any usefull messages. Just say I'm right and I fix this problem in the CVS (a single "if (jeb->last_node == n) jeb->last_node=ref;" line into nodemgmt.c and better message in ACCT_PARANOIA_CHECK).
