When booting on a ColdFire (m68knommu) target the init process (or
there abouts at least) fails. Last console messages are:

Oh, bad news. I will try to reproduce it on my board.
If you are free please enable debug in nommu.c and then we can see
what
caused the problem.

Yep, with debug on:

¡...

Since I can't reproduce this problem, could you please attach the
whole dmesg log with nommu debug on or
you can step into to see why errno 22 is returned, is it returned by
do_mmap_private()?

There was no other debug messages with debug turned on in nommu.c.
(I can give you the boot msgs before this if you want, but there
was no nommu.c debug in it).

But I did trace it into do_mmap_pgoff() to see what was failing.
It fails based on the return value from:

addr = file->f_op->get_unmapped_area(file, addr, len,
á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á ípgoff, flags);


Thanks for this information.
But it's a callback function. I still can't know what's the problem maybe.
Would you do me a favor to do more trace to see where it callback to,
fs or some driver etc..?

Its calling to romfs_get_unmapped_area() [fs/romfs/mmap-nommu.c]. It is
being called with:

áromfs_get_unmapped_area(addr=0,len=7000,pgoff=0,flags=1002)

This is failing the first size check because isize comes back
as 0x6ca8, and this is smaller then len (0x7000). Thus returning
-EINVAL.


I look into file fs/romfs/mmap-nommu.c based on your trace.
In my opinion, romfs_get_unmapped_area() in mmap-nommu.c is buggy.
Would you please try below commit.

Yep, this fixes it. I think David (Howells) originally made
those changes, not sure if he wants to add anything here.

Thanks
Greg



Thanks a lot.

Subject: [PATCH] romfs: fix romfs_get_unmapped_area() param check

romfs_get_unmapped_area() check len param without considering PAGE_ALIGN which
will cause do_mmap_pgoff() return -EINVAL error after commit f67d9b1576c.

This patch fix the param check by changing it to the same way as function
ramfs_nommu_get_unmapped_area() did in ramfs/file-nommu.c.

That code is trying to map the contents of the file /bin/init
directly from the romfs filesystem (which is in RAM). The init
binary is 0x6ca8 bytes in size (that is the isize above).
