Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+
+/*
+ * Todo list:
+ *
+ * memcpy_to_flash() and memcpy_from_flash() functions.
+ *
+ * Implementation of hard links.
+ *
+ * Organize the source code in a better way. Against the VFS we could
+ * have jffs_ext.c, and against the block device jffs_int.c.
+ * A better file-internal organization too.
+ *
+ * A better checksum algorithm.
+ *
+ * Consider endianness stuff. ntohl() etc.
+ *
+ * Are we handling the atime, mtime, ctime members of the inode right?
+ *
+ * Remove some duplicated code. Take a look at jffs_write_node() and
+ * jffs_rewrite_data() for instance.
+ *
+ * Implement more meaning of the nlink member in various data structures.
+ * nlink could be used in conjunction with hard links for instance.
+ *
+ * Better memory management. Allocate data structures in larger chunks
+ * if possible.
+ *
+ * If too much meta data is stored, a garbage collect should be issued.
+ * We have experienced problems with too much meta data with for instance
+ * log files.
+ *
+ * Improve the calls to jffs_ioctl(). We would like to retrieve more
+ * information to be able to debug (or to supervise) JFFS during run-time.

+   the name and data parts of the node. Second, possibly also clearing
+   a part of the raw inode as well.  If the box is power cycled during
+   the first phase, only the checksum of this node-to-be-cleared-at-
+   the-end will be wrong.  If the box is power cycled during, or after,
+   the clearing of the raw inode, the information like the length of
+   the name and data parts are zeroed.  The next time the box is
+   powered up, the scanning algorithm manages this faulty data too
+   because:
+
+   - The checksum is invalid and thus the raw inode must be discarded
+     in any case.
+   - If the lengths of the data part or the name part are zeroed, the
+     scanning just continues after the raw inode.  But after the inode
+     the scanning procedure just finds zeroes which is the same as
+     dirt.
+
+   So, in the end, this could never fail. :-)  Even if it does fail,
+   the scanning algorithm should manage that too.  */
