Hello Thomas,

TG> Interrestingly enough are the node CRCs of some of the nodes intact, so
TG> the corruption must have happened before writing to flash.

Loop "while (valid_ref)" (those that become infinite) in jffs2_get_inode_nodes also contains crc
checking of nodes. They are checked in order of proceeding.

It doesn't complain about nodes' crc, so it seems
that crc are ok. So I don't think that crc checking of chain of nodes
helps here.
