Does JFFS2 will allocate large memory to read big file? I have a 128M
bytes nand flash on my board and there is a large file about 12M bytes.
After I use the testing program to read the file, the free memory
reduce to 312Kbytes (from 10660Kbytes). How can I reduce the memory
usage of JFFS2? Thanks.

what do you mean by "free memory", are you including buffers and cache?

It does not include cache and buffer. I know the most memory becomes the
cache, but I am using uClinux and the lower MemFree will cause system
crash when I am loading program. I need to prevent the case.

dear all,
we want to stop gc thread manually when system goto suspend mode,
can we simply call "jffs2_stop_garbage_collect_thread()"?
and how to get its param: "struct jffs2_sb_info *c"
btw, i think gc thread wakeup only if its necessary not regularly, right?
best regards,

Send it a SIGSTOP from userspace, then a SIGCONT when you want it to wake
up. Or send it a SIGKILL to kill it permanently (until the next remount).

Correct.
