近想起来还有一块mini2440的开发板很久没有使用了，所以想移植一个基于linux3.10的linux系统，但是在移植yaffs2文件系统的时候出现了一些问题，我将其记录下来给其他同学解决同样的问题提供帮助。

1. 首先通过git下载yaffs2代码。然后进入yaffs2文件夹中执行patch-ker.sh，给linux源代码打上patch。

$ git clone git://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs2
$ cd yaffs2/
$ ./patch-ker.sh c m ../linux3.10-mini2440

2. 然后在linux的源代码fs中多了一个yaffs2的文件夹，到此yaffs2文件系统就已经添加到linux3.10中了。在Linux内核源代码根目录运行：make menuconfig，移动上下按键进行配置：

File Systems
---> Miscellaneous filesystems
---> [*]YAFFS2 file system support

并按空格选中它，这样我们就在内核中添加了yaffs2文件系统的支持，按“Exit”退出内核配置。
3. 编译linux源代码。

make[2]: *** [fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/yaffs2] Error 2
make: *** [fs] Error 2

编译fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c时出现错误，function 'create_proc_entry'没有申明。Google之后才知道原来这个接口在linux-3.10被删除了，应该使用proc_create代替。

4. 修改fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c

我粘贴一下我修改后的代码：

//add by jxm.begin

static const struct file_operations yaffs_fops = {

.owner = THIS_MODULE,

.read = yaffs_proc_read,

.write = yaffs_proc_write,

};

//add by jxm.end

{

int error = 0;

struct file_system_to_install *fsinst;

"yaffs built " __DATE__ " " __TIME__ " Installing.");

mutex_init(&yaffs_context_lock);

//add by jxm

my_proc_entry = proc_create("yaffs",S_IRUGO | S_IFREG, YPROC_ROOT, &yaffs_fops);

/* Install the proc_fs entries */

//add by jxm begin

#if 0（使用这个来注释）

my_proc_entry = create_proc_entry("yaffs",

S_IRUGO | S_IFREG, YPROC_ROOT);

if (my_proc_entry) {

my_proc_entry->write_proc = yaffs_proc_write;

my_proc_entry->read_proc = yaffs_proc_read;

my_proc_entry->data = NULL;

} else {

return -ENOMEM;

}

#endif

//add by jxm.end

/* Now add the file system entries */

fsinst = fs_to_install;

while (fsinst->fst && !error) {

error = register_filesystem(fsinst->fst);

if (!error)

fsinst->installed = 1;

fsinst++;

}

/* Any errors? uninstall */

if (error) {

fsinst = fs_to_install;

while (fsinst->fst) {

if (fsinst->installed) {

unregister_filesystem(fsinst->fst);

fsinst->installed = 0;

}

fsinst++;

}

}

return error;

}

5. 修改之后保存，然后再编译就可以成功了。
