This bug resulted in a panic when trying to read a file partially with an offset, e.g. when starting Linux. In such a case a header is loaded by a separate call of jffs2_read(), which then copies only the first n bytes out of the respective block. When the remaining data of the block is then subsequently going to to be read the system deviates in its behaviour from that under Linux by not calling jffs2_read_inode_range() in a 4k-alignment, but with an offset. jffs2_read_inode_range() originates from the Linux jffs2 driver. When being called with an offset it still reads 4096 bytes of data and eventually returns fragments of two consecutive blocks. jffs2_read() then reads this result whilst again applying the offset, therefore returning faulty data. We fix that problem by calling jffs2_get_block() without an offset and therefore reading the whole block. The offset is then applied when we actually perform memcpy with the returned buffer. This fix might also increase the performance since the respective block is likely to be cached from the previous call.
