Thanks for the advice mentioned in the email.
This is my v3 patch for this problem.
Mounting jffs2 on nand flash will get message "failed: I/O error"
with the steps listed below.
1.umount jffs2
2.erase nand flash
3.mount jffs2 on it (this mounting operation will be successful)
4.do chown or chmod to the mount point directory
5.umount jffs2
6.mount jffs2 on nand flash
After step 6, we will get message "mount ... failed: I/O error".
Typical image of this problem is like:
Empty space found from 0x00000000 to 0x008a0000
Inode node at xx, totlen 0x00000044, #ino 1, version 1, isize 0...
The reason for this mounting failure is that at the end of function
jffs2_scan_medium(), jffs2 will check the used_size and some info
of nr_blocks.If conditions are met, it will return -EIO.
The detail is that, in the steps listed above, step 4 will write
jffs2_raw_inode into flash without jffs2_raw_dirent, which will
cause that there are some jffs2_raw_inode but no jffs2_raw_dirent
on flash. This will meet the condition at the end of function
jffs2_scan_medium() and return -EIO if we umount jffs2 and mount it
again.
We notice that jffs2 add the value of c->unchecked_size if we find
an inode node while mounting. And jffs2 will never add the value of
c->unchecked_size in other situations. So this patch add one more
condition about c->unchecked_size of the judgement to fix this problem.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

This reverts commit f2538f999345405f7d2e1194c0c8efa4e11f7b3a. The patch
stopped JFFS2 from being able to mount an existing filesystem with the
following errors:
jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_build_inode_fragtree: Add node to tree failed -22
jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Failed to build final fragtree for inode #5377: error -22

In jffs2_scan_eraseblock(), 'sumptr' is allocated through kmalloc() if
'sumlen' is larger than 'buf_size'. However, it is not deallocated in the
following execution if jffs2_fill_scan_buf() fails, leading to a memory
leak bug. To fix this issue, free 'sumptr' before returning the error.

In jffs2_add_frag_to_fragtree(), there is an if statement on line 223 to
check whether "this" is NULL:
if (this)
When "this" is NULL, it is used at several places, such as on line 249:
if (this->node)
and on line 260:
if (newfrag->ofs > this->ofs)
Thus possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.
To fix these bugs, -EINVAL is returned when "this" is NULL.
These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Linux kernel tolerates C++ style comments these days. Actually, the
SPDX License tags for .c files start with //.
On the other hand, uapi headers are written in more strict C, where
the C++ comment style is forbidden.
I simply dropped these lines instead of fixing the comment style.
This code has been always commented out since it was added around
Linux 2.4.9 (i.e. commented out for more than 17 years).
'Maybe later...' will never happen.

The false trigger is covered in:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99578
GCC 11 and 12 has been patched for constant pointer casts above
4K. This code casts a constant pointer within the first 4K
page. As a result the patch disables the warning.
Updates #4662
The patch "bsps/atsam: Fix type of options" missed to adapt some parts
of the yml. With that a custom value works well. But if no value is set,
configure doesn't fall back to the default value but instead just causes
an error. This patch fixes that.
Check that the state of rand() and lrand48() is thread-specific,
that they are properly initialized, and return the expected
sequence of pseudo-random numbers for default seed values.
The interrupt enables are used to implement a priority scheme in
bsp_interrupt_dispatch(). Enable interrupts through
bsp_interrupt_vector_enable() only if they are not already enabled to
not interfere with the priority scheme while
bsp_interrupt_vector_enable() is called during interrupt dispatching.
Sections with identical attributes may be contiguous with a respective
begin and end address which is not on a minimum region boundary. The
begin address is aligned down to the region base address. The end
address is aligned up to the region end address. Account for this in
the check for contiguous sections.
Update #4202.
A section may span up to the end of the address range. In this case the
end address is zero. Use the base address to check if a region should
be before another region.
Update #4202.
ATSAM_CONSOLE_DEVICE_INDEX and ATSAM_CONSOLE_DEVICE_TYPE have to be
integers like suggested by their description. Otherwise it's not
possible to select (for example) USART2 as console device.
