They are semi-consistent I'd say. The oops trace I posted is by far the most common.

   problem to mysteriously disappear.  Doing this analysis should provide a
   good clue as to where to look next.  I personally would be rather
   suspicious of that

		ri->data_crc = cpu_to_je32(crc32(0, comprbuf, cdatalen));

   in jffs2_write_inode_range().

That is indeed the place where crc32 is called from . I'll see it I can track the use of comprbuf.

- Try turning on JFFS2 debugging and seeing if you can reproduce it.
   The output might provide a clue as to where the problem would be.

Here are two examples (immediately preceding the oops):

jffs2_reserve_space(): Requested 0x30 bytes
jffs2_reserve_space(): alloc sem got

I'll take a look at what jffs2_do_reserve_space is up to.


Thanks.
