Kamikaze, brcm47xx, WRT54G v1.1: jffs2 marker not detected, rootfs_data not mounted

Reported by:	anonymous	Owned by:	developers
Priority:	response-needed	Milestone:	Chaos Calmer 15.05
Component:	kernel	Version:	Backfire 10.03
Keywords:	jffs2 kamikaze	Cc:

Description

I recently installed Kamikaze 8.09 on a
linksys wrt54g v1.1. If I make any changes
to the system, then shutdown and reboot,

the changes are lost. I've reported this
on the general forum posting

(http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=20125)

and as indicated there, the problem is solved
by reverting to a kernel 2.4 release of kamikaze.

I've since found two other forum postings
where 3 other users report the same, or at
least a similar problem:

Below is a transcript to illustrate:

~$ telnet 192.168.1.1

Escape character is '^]'.
=== IMPORTANT ============================

Timestamp has changed on the passwd file.
So, I logout and try telnet again, then
ssh when telnet is refused as expected.

And the password file is back to its
previous state. Below, it doesn't look
like the jffs2 partition is mounted. See the

Cowardly refusing to erase blocks on filesystem with no valid JFFS2 nodes
empty_blocks 0, bad_blocks 0, c->nr_blocks 22

[as suggested in forum post 17976 above
I tried an mtd erase.]

root@OpenWrt:/# mtd erase rootfs_data
Unlocking rootfs_data ...
Erasing rootfs_data ...
root@OpenWrt:/# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,size=6848k)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=512k)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=600)
mini_fo:/tmp/root on / type mini_fo (rw)
root@OpenWrt:/#

Hmm, this is different. I tried the
"mtd erase rootfs_data" 3 or 4 times before and
each time it changed the output of "mount" to
show a jffs2 partition.

Since then I reflashed with the latest Linksys
firmware for this wrt (WRT54GV4.0_4.21.1_US_code.trx)
and then reflashed again with Kamikaze 8.09. That
didn't solve the problem either. But reverting to
kernel 2.4 as suggested in forum posting 20125 has
fixed the problem.

Thanks.

I have the same problem with my linksys wrt54g v1.1

Looking at the kernel logs of jffs2_scan_eraseblock() it seems like the data cannot be read correctly from the flash. As far as I remember the 0x1985 magic bitmask WAS there - checked by dumping the partition.

comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by anonymous

Me too. See:
#4988: defect: D-Link DIR-320 fails to access jffs (new)

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by anonymous

Probably not exactly the same problem.

erasing mtdblock3 succeeds and jffs2 even can mount it as long as it is empty. After unmounting you can see the correct 0x1985 content on the partition. But the jffs2 filesystem does not read the contents correctly. The upper and lower 8 bits of the 16 bit words are exactly the same in the log file. Either the jffs2 filesystem has a bug or the mtd calls it uses. Reading via "hexdump /dev/mtd3" works correctly

hexdump /dev/mtdblock3

[patchteam] The issue should be fixes as originally posted, the last poster doesn't have enough free space to create a jffs partition.

Replying to nico:

Confirmed on trunk r19920

Hi,

would somebody try this patch with such a device!?

because of changeset 15959, its possibly the same error as on Ticket #1502 and related to the buswidth. The devices that were affected on Ticket #4729 have serial flash, not the same as here.

Version changed from Kamikaze trunk to Backfire 10.03

The patch does not fix the issue on a WRT54G v1.1. It has a bus->extif.dev and mcore->flash_buswidth is set to 2, same as BUSWIDTH, which was used to initialize bcm47xx_map.bankwidth before r15959.

Confirmed also with Backfire 10.03 on WRT54Gv1.1. Brcm47xx has issues with jffs2 marker. 2.4-kernel made the router unbootable after mtd. Tried it twice.

Got it working now after tftping 8.09.2 with 2.4 kernel.

comment:11 Changed 8 years ago by pyrophobicman@…

I just ran into this issue myself... investigating, it seems to be a problem casting to a 16-bit type - the 32-bit fields of node (line 635 of linux/fs/jffs2/scan.c) are set properly, but the 16-bit fields are not. The bit of memory at node's address is packed correctly, but even with my attempts to manually cast to uint16_t, any 16-bit casting seems to be breaking, returning the 0x8585 type problem.

What's special about this hardware, and why would this issue only show up in this one place? I'm on a wrt54g v1.1 as well.

comment:12 Changed 7 years ago by anonymous

Same issue here.
WRT54G v1.1 can only be used with Kamikaze brcm-2.4 images.
If I try any brcm47xx image (Kamikaze or Backfire) I get jffs2_scan_eraseblock() errors and a read-only rootfs_data.
When trying Backfire brcm-2.4 images after the flash the power led will keep blinking forever with a permanently lit up dmz led and no ping/telnet to the router is possible.

comment:13 Changed 7 years ago by bobMuk

Same issue here: WRT54G v1.1, Kamikaze 2.4 kernel build works but anything later doesn't.
Getting the same log entry:
"rootfs" must either start or end on erase block boundary or be smaller than an erase block -- forcing read-only

I guess (going by the age of this ticket) that there's no interest in fixing this in Backfire?

comment:14 Changed 7 years ago by bobMuk

Is there any likelihood that this'll get looked at? I'm willing to try any private builds/patches.

Whats the state of this in RC5 ? Anybody considered a miscompilation maybe?

Just reconfirmed on my WRT54G v1.1 on RC5. Same messages in dmesg, filesystem changes do not persist across reboots.

comment:18 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous

Is this going to be fixed? I experienced same thing... during modification the /etc/config/network file was deleted, and this was the last thing it was written. then it switched to read-only mode, and nothing can help it.

WRT54G v1.1, backfire 10.03.1-rc5 - brcm47xx, flashed with prebuilt image.

Also confirmed on WRT54G v1.1, backfire 10.03.1-rc5, brcm-47xx.
Same logs for me as well. Same version of backfire-brcm-2.4 and kamikaze 8.09.2-brcm2.4 boots and restores fine but doesn't seem to have any sort of wireless support at all.
Is there any motivation for fixing this? Or maybe a way of adding an mmc-sd card to bypass the problem?

comment:21 Changed 6 years ago by clemens-john@…

Also confirmed on WRT54G v2.2 Backfire r28601 Kernel 2.6 brcm47xx.

root@OpenWrt:~# dmesg | grep jff

I would be happy if anyone could fix this.

comment:22 Changed 6 years ago by jow

clemens-john, your issue is completely unrelated - your image is simply too big.

comment:23 Changed 6 years ago by nbd

how about rc6 - is it still reproducible there?

comment:24 Changed 6 years ago by Tim Miller Dyck <tim@…>

I tried OpenWrt 10.03.1-rc6 on a Linksys WRT54g ver. 1.1 router (4 MB flash).

I had the same problems as above with the jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found error messages in syslog. In LuCI, it gets stuck forever at the applying settings wait graphic.

I tried both the "brcm-2.4" and "brcm47xx" versions of 10.03.1-rc6 but both had the same behavior.

Then I found "Linksys WRT54G v1.1 default after reboot", https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=28223 and saw the suggestion to use kamikaze.

I flashed back to OpenWrt 8.09 r14511 brcm-2.4 at http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09/brcm-2.4/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx and that is working fine on this hardware.

I will add a note to the OpenWrt Linksys wiki page saying this Linksys model has trouble with Backfire right now.

Regards,
Tim Miller Dyck
