Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of updating the kernel version within OpenWrt. (4.14.68 to 4.14.69)
Testing shows some issues on devices using specifically UBIFS. Altering a perfect valid writable file shows weird errors:
[ Node 2 | node-2 ] ls -l /root/custom/scripts/banner.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283 Sep 11 09:52 /root/custom/scripts/banner.sh
[ Node 2 | node-2 ] cat /root/custom/scripts/banner.sh #!/bin/sh
if [ ! -f /root/.banner_ok ] then RELEASE=$(cat /root/build_date) VERSION=$(cat /root/version)
echo "Generating banner: $VERSION $RELEASE" sed s/VERSION/$VERSION/g /root/custom/banner > /etc/banner sed -i s/RELEASE/$RELEASE/g /etc/banner touch /root/.banner_okfi
[ Node 2 | node-2 ] echo "test" > /root/custom/scripts/banner.sh -ash: can't create /root/custom/scripts/banner.sh: nonexistent directory
I'm also noticing other apps fail because /etc doesn't exists yet after UBIFS boot loading. these 2 issues were not seen on 4.14.68.
The bootlog doesn't show any error: https://pastebin.com/raw/dJx47uBp
I'm only seeing these issues on UBIFS enabled volumes. Reverting ("ubifs: xattr: Don't operate on deleted inodes") fixes these weird issues.
Please see my answer to the other thread. Always keep the patch author on CC and don't start multiple threads for the same issue on two mailing lists. Yes, I didn't answer for three days, I had no internet connection...
Richard,
I indeed posted here too as we passed the 3 days marker, and I noticed 4.14.70 RC2 got staged. Also, a lot of developers tend to ignore questions unless the initial question got posted to the official mailinglist.
Let's continue on the OpenWrt list as you propose, were the initial question was raised.
Apologies for the (double) noise.
I will assume that if the resolution is that something needs to be done to the stable releases and a patch added/reverted, someone will eventually tell me?
The revert was sent yesterday to the mailinglist. I'll send Linus^Wyou a pull request soon and from here it can go into stable.
Thanks, //richard
