The log of this problem is: jffs2: Error garbage collecting node at 0x***! jffs2: No space for garbage collection. Aborting GC thread This is because GC believe that it do nothing, so it abort. After going over the image of jffs2, I find a scene that can trigger this problem stably. The scene is: there is a normal dirent node at summary-area, but abnormal at corresponding not-summary-area with error name_crc. The reason that GC exit abnormally is because it find that abnormal dirent node to GC, but when it goes to function jffs2_add_fd_to_list, it cannot meet the condition listed below: if ((*prev)->nhash == new->nhash && !strcmp((*prev)->name, new->name)) So no node is marked obsolete, statistical information of erase_block do not change, which cause GC exit abnormally. The root cause of this problem is: we do not check the name_crc of the abnormal dirent node with summary is enabled. Noticed that in function jffs2_scan_dirent_node, we use function jffs2_scan_dirty_space to deal with the dirent node with error name_crc. So this patch add a checking code in function read_direntry to ensure the correctness of dirent node. If checked failed, the dirent node will be marked obsolete so GC will pass this node and this problem will be fixed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
