[patch 3/4] JFFS2: add missing verify buffer allocation/deallocation

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Sep 10 2009 - 20:34:33 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Massimo Cirillo <maxcir@xxxxxxxxx>

commit bc8cec0dff072f1a45ce7f6b2c5234bb3411ac51 upstream.

The function jffs2_nor_wbuf_flash_setup() doesn't allocate the verify buffer
if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is defined, so causing a kernel panic when
that macro is enabled and the verify function is called. Similarly the
jffs2_nor_wbuf_flash_cleanup() must free the buffer if
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is enabled.
The following patch fixes the problem.
The following patch applies to 2.6.30 kernel.
