Comment (by chenjin_zhong):

 Replying to [comment:3 Sebastian Huber]:
 > Yes, the f->sem is an empty structure, it is not initialized, it is not
 used, locked or whatever in RTEMS. This is intentional and not a bug. I
 repeat: **The RTEMS port of JFFS2 does not use a file system internal
 locking. There is a global lock for each JFFS2 instance.**

 Thank you! I got it. but we Suppose that a GC thread or other thread/task
 and main task calls jffs2_do_readinode simultaneous. a global lock for
 each JFFS2 instance can't work.
