I think you meant that one, right ?

Thanks, fixed in CVS

Not only. The "go out" in case of jffs2_compressors_init() failure 
doesn't free /proc resources...

I tried to send the following patch as the attached file (now I'll try
to just insert the text):

Note - the patch is just to show the problem and doesn't pretent to be

proc support was removed in meantime (current CVS).
But anyway thanks for pointing this out

Oh, sorry, my snapshot was deprecated.

Note, the same thing should also be fixed in super-v24.c.

Just interesting, why the proc interface was removed? Have you added 
ioctl interface? My JFFS2 CVS snapshot of 15 Jul 2004 has no ioctl 
interface.

Not at all.

Al Viro took a brief look at it and used lots of nasty works. So I
removed it.

Hello.

There is a bug in jffs2 module registration function - super.c line 293: 
the init_jffs2_fs function doesn't properly perform
the de-initialization in case of failures on lines 315 and 321.

The jffs2_inode_cachep is also not feed.

The proposed patch is attached.

Note 1: I didn't test this patch and didn't even compile JFFS2 with it - 
*be careful*.

Note 2: The similar ought to be fixed in super-v24.c

Artem.
