[PATCH v3 2/8] jffs2: wbuf: fix space accounting in recovery secondary write failure
From: zhouminqiang
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 09:21:41 EST
In jffs2_wbuf_recover(), when the recovery write to the new erase block
also fails, the code marks the already-written portion as REF_OBSOLETE
via jffs2_add_physical_node_ref(). However, the length passed is
ref_totlen(c, jeb, first_raw), which is the length of a single node on
the old block, not retlen which is the actual number of bytes written to
the new block.
When the recovery buffer contains multiple nodes, ref_totlen only
accounts for the first node's length, which can be much smaller than
retlen. This under-deducts free_size, causing subsequent allocations to
land on already-programmed NAND pages and silently corrupt data. When
first_raw is the only node in the recovery range, ref_totlen equals the
full unaligned data size and exceeds the page-aligned retlen,
over-deducting free_size and wasting space.
Use retlen so the new block's free_size accurately reflects which NAND
pages have been programmed.
