[patch] ubifs: potential uninitialized variable in truncate_data_node()

[Dan Carpenter]

GCC doesn't complain, but my static checker warns that if the data is
not compressed and not encrypted then "ret" isn't initialized.

Hi All,

My appdata partition could not be mounted or where the partition was not able to be used. Anyone can help me to find out the root cause of this. What are the possibilities of this ubifs corruption. Any patched are available to fix this issue.

Error logs:

Why are you hijacking this mail thread?

In your case UBIFS fails because of an ECC error in 0xFF bytes.
UBIFS does not expect this and the MTD driver has to make sure that it does
not happen.
Is this a recent kernel?
