I just re-read your e-mail and your device has a logical block size of 4096 bytes, whereas most of the hfsplus code uses a block size of 512... you will need to look into hfsplus_submit_bio(), which is in the same file wrapper.c. I've looked into the code myself a little and here's what I see. hfsplus_read_wrapper() calls to hfsplus_submit_bio() twice to fill sbi->s_vhdr and sbi->s_backup_vhdr. And according to parameters they are filled with pointers into sbi->s_vhdr_buf and sbi->s_backup_vhdr_buf respectively. It's done with the following code at fs/hfsplus/wrapper.c:79: if (!(rw & WRITE) && data) *data = (u8 *)buf + offset; So s_vhdr and s_backup_vhdr shouldn't be freed, s_vhdr_buf and s_backup_vhdr_buf should be freed instead. And indeed changing in hfsplus_fill_super() kfree(sbi->s_vhdr); kfree(sbi->s_backup_vhdr); to kfree(sbi->s_vhdr_buf); kfree(sbi->s_backup_vhdr_buf); fixes BUG reports from SLUB. Now, the problem with "too large" error is trickier. According to this message >> [ 92.549197] hfs: filesystem size too large blksz_shift=14, total_blocks=486494 HFS thinks that my iPod has block size of 16 KiB. But generic_check_addressable() decides that everything with blocks larger than PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT (i.e. 4 KiB on my system) cannot be addressable and thus filesystem cannot be mounted. I guess it wasn't supposed to be that way. Is hfsplus_read_wrapper() wrong in determining block size or all iPods where this was tested actually had block size 4 KiB or less? > It is going to be difficult to do anything without the actual device and 8GB is too large to be send around. Assuming it is mostly music/media and there isn't too much stuff which is too confident/private, can I ask you to send me say, the first few MB of the disk? I'll send it in a separate email bypassing lists.
