Hi,
The summary is allocated using the vmalloc
c->summary->sum_buf = vmalloc(c->sector_size);
The same buffer is using and passed to the under layer in the
jffs2_sum_write_data:
vecs[0].iov_base = &isum;
vecs[0].iov_len = sizeof(isum);
vecs[1].iov_base = c->summary->sum_buf;
vecs[1].iov_len = datasize;
sum_ofs = jeb->offset + c->sector_size - jeb->free_size;
dbg_summary("JFFS2: writing out data to flash to pos : 0x%08x\n",
sum_ofs);
ret = jffs2_flash_writev(c, vecs, 2, sum_ofs, &retlen, 0);
So maybe it can't be directly mapped using a dma_map_sync.

The solution was to copy in a safely buffer. Can be this affect others
drivers?
