Subject: RFC: fixup for mtdblock issue with erase warnings
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 18:46:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170426174609.29433-1-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> (raw)

We have been running into a warning from __might_sleep() in the cfi erase
code. We think this is due to the mtdblock driver trying to sleep when an
operation is going to complete from the _erase callback.

If this patch is acceptable, it should probably go into stable as well as
the current release.

Note, currently being tested on v4.4.y
