[PATCH/RFC v5 2/5]: mtdoops: Keep track of used/unused mtdoops pages in an array

Simon Kagstrom
2009-10-13T13:22:26Z

This patch makes mtdoops keep track of used/unused pages in an array
instead of scanning the flash after a write. The advantage with this
approach is that it avoids calling mtd->read on a panic, which is not
possible for all mtd drivers.
