Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] jffs2: write verify: add byte-by-byte comparison on mismatch
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 14:16:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829061658.306854-4-zhouminqiang2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260829061658.306854-1-zhouminqiang2@huawei.com>
jffs2_verify_write() uses memcmp() to compare the write buffer
against data read back from flash. On mismatch, the current code
dumps the entire source and read-back data, which will become
impractical once the verify path is extended to NOR flash where
a single write can span PAGE_SIZE.
Add a byte-by-byte comparison after the memcmp() mismatch path
to locate the exact mismatch offset, reporting the first
differing offset and dumping up to 128 bytes of both the source
and read-back data. memcmp() remains on the hotpath for
successful writes, and the byte-by-byte loop only runs when an
error is actually detected.
