Subject: [PATCH v2 09/14] mtd: nand: report ECC errors properly when reading BBT
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:35:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316568908-21539-1-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1315426421-16243-10-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com>
Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we
should return a proper error status and print a more informative
warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers
of the BBT scan.
Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit
more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else"
clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit.
This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.
