JFFS2 writes fail with 2.4.25

[Tino Keitel]

Hi folks,

I just switched from 2.4.19 to 2.4.25 and was afraid that there are
problems with file creation. Here is an example:

# mkdir x
jffs2_readdir() for dir_i #214
Dirent 0: ".", ino #214
Dirent 1: "..", ino #1
jffs2_readdir() for dir_i #214
jffs2_readdir() for dir_i #214
Dirent 0: ".", ino #214
Dirent 1: "..", ino #1
jffs2_readdir() for dir_i #214

...and so on.

The system is an Intel XScale IXP425 board (ARM little endian) with 16
MB NOR flash. I use the JFFS2 from the 2.4.25 kernel. Any hints what's
wrong here?

Regards,
Tino
