Subject: dynamic mtd_blktrans_dev not fully init'd under UBI?
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:58:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1196456294.47507966462cb@webmail.texas.net> (raw)
Hi all,
I have a UBI system, and I notice this causes a kernel panic.
Make a volume that does not previously exist, eg 50:
ubimkvol -d0 -n50 -N vol50 -s 640000
cat /dev/mtdblock/vol50 >/dev/null
I get a panic in mtdblockd as it handles the block
requests generated by cat.
In older versions, the struct semaphore of mtd_blktrans_dev
is not initialized, so the kernel panics in __down.
In the newest git, I see a mutex named "lock" instead, but
I don't think it's initialized either. See the function
mtdblock_add_mtd() in drivers/mtd/mtdblock.c. The struct
mtd_blktrans_dev is just kzalloc'd leaving the mutex lock
all zeroes.
Can anybody recreate this?
