  • romfs_iget returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL.

    A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
    follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

    //
    @match exists@
    expression x, E;
    statement S1, S2;
    @@

    x = romfs_iget(...)
    ... when != x = E
    (
    * if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
    |
    * if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2
    )
    //

  • Change RomFS so that it can use MTD devices directly - without the intercession
    of the block layer - as well as using block devices.

    This permits RomFS:

    (1) to use the MTD direct mapping facility available under NOMMU conditions if
    the underlying device is directly accessible by the CPU (including XIP);

    (2) and thus to be used when the block layer is disabled.

    RomFS can be configured with support just for MTD devices, just for Block
    devices or for both. If RomFS is configured for both, then it will treat
    mtdblock device files as MTD backing stores, not block layer backing stores.

    I tested this using a CONFIG_MMU=n CONFIG_BLOCK=n kernel running on my FRV
    board with a RomFS image installed on the mtdram test device. I see my test
    program being run XIP:

    # cat /proc/maps
    ...
    c0c000b0-c0c01f8c r-xs 00000000 1f:00 144 /mnt/doshm
    ...

    GDB on the kernel can be used to show that these addresses are within the
    set-aside RAM space.
