Hi,

I found the following post on the mtd-mailing list:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-July/010142.html

In garbage_collect_pass() there seems to be a chance that a locked semaphore isn't released properly.
The mtd cvs contains a change to fix this behaviour, instead of the two mentioned return statement they are replaced with a "goto release_sem;"

The ecos cvs doesn't contain this change yet, maybe it should ?

Bye
Alex
