commit 9afc9a8a4909fece0e911e72b1060614ba2f7969 upstream.
The log of this problem is: jffs2: Error garbage collecting node at 0x***! jffs2: No space for garbage collection. Aborting GC thread
This is because GC believe that it do nothing, so it abort.
After going over the image of jffs2, I find a scene that can trigger this problem stably. The scene is: there is a normal dirent node at summary-area, but abnormal at corresponding not-summary-area with error name_crc.
The reason that GC exit abnormally is because it find that abnormal dirent node to GC, but when it goes to function jffs2_add_fd_to_list, it cannot meet the condition listed below:
if ((*prev)->nhash == new->nhash && !strcmp((*prev)->name, new->name))
So no node is marked obsolete, statistical information of erase_block do not change, which cause GC exit abnormally.
The root cause of this problem is: we do not check the name_crc of the abnormal dirent node with summary is enabled.
Noticed that in function jffs2_scan_dirent_node, we use function jffs2_scan_dirty_space to deal with the dirent node with error name_crc. So this patch add a checking code in function read_direntry to ensure the correctness of dirent node. If checked failed, the dirent node will be marked obsolete so GC will pass this node and this problem will be fixed.
