Asunto: [Yaffs] [PATCH] fix list corruption problem in yaffs_del_dir_contents
From: liaohua <>

list_for_each_safe was used in yaffs_del_dir_contents and when
traverse the list, the current list node and the next list node
was hold together. But if current list node was a file node,
and the next list node was the hardlink of this file, the next
list node will be deleted in yaffs_unlink_obj. So a list corruption
happened, and a infinite loop was happend in list_for_each_safe.

And search context may be too complicated for this problem, we just
traverse the list again to fix it.
