Subject: [RFC][PATCH] UBI: Make MTD_UBI_FASTMAP non-experimental
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:38:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170329153836.GB29118@axis.com> (raw)
MTD_UBI_FASTMAP has been set as experimental since it
was merged back in 2012.
There hasn't been much change in the format,
so we can consider the feature stable and start
being careful about breaking the format.
(This is somewhat of a pre-requisite for anyone actually
using the feature in the real world and depending on it)
Drop the experimental note and the warning text about
the on-flash format not being finalized.

- Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
- format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
-
Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
