System hangs on logfs umount

System hangs on logfs umount

[David Wagner]

	Hello,

I'm trying to use logfs (I'm supposed to benchmark several flash FS,
including logfs) but am facing a complete system hang: no panic, no
kernel message, the umount shell call just doesn't return and I can't do
anything anymore through the serial port.

The card I'm running it on is the igepv2 (or "igep0020") ; the flash has
2KiB pages and 128KiB EBs. (I tried with config_mtd_onenand_2x_program,
which simulates 4096/256KiB, but then, syncing also causes a system hang).

I turned on full logfs debugging:
-#define LOGFS_DEBUG            (0x01)
+#define LOGFS_DEBUG            LOGFS_DEBUG_ALL
but the logs don't event print:
    log_super("LogFS: Start unmounting\n");

Here is what appears to be logged when unmounting:

Do anyone have any clue ?

@Jörn:
I couldn't clone the git repository and logfsprogs is nowhere else to be
found ; the webgit interface makes it possible to get a snapshot tarball
but it's not as convenient.

Regards,
David.
