[ECOS] Re: jffs2 / eCos

[Bob Koninckx]

Ok, I think I've come closer :)

Apparently, it has to do with the check


} else if (frag->ofs < offset && (offset & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-1)) != 0) {
  D1(printk(KERN_NOTICE "Eep. Overlap in ino #%u fraglist. frag->ofs =
          0x%08x, offset = 0x%08x\n",
          f->inocache->ino, frag->ofs, offset));
  D1(jffs2_print_frag_list(f));
  memset(buf, 0, end - offset);
  return -EIO;
} else if (!frag->node) {


in read.c / function jffs2_read_inode_range

The ecos libc buffers only 256 bytes of data, PAGE_CACHE SIZE is defined
to be 4kB. The first access consequently succeeds, the second one fails
...

I suppose all that needs to be done (for eCos) is make the
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE definition agree with the eCos libc BUFSIZ definition. I
am not sure though.
