Subject: checking write_cached_data return status inside _release and _flush?
Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2006 20:03:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4436A961.7050209@libero.it> (raw)

hi!

i experienced some corruption of data on flash memories i am using, and
discovered that this is related to these functions in mtdblock.c:

	static int mtdblock_release(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *mbd)
	static int mtdblock_flush(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev)

not checking the return value of the function:

         write_cached_data(mtdblk)

i fixed that by checking the return value inside a while cycle but is 
there any particular reason the original code is written that way?

Thank you.
