Hi all,
I've observed that in kernel 2.6.38 (and maybe in previous
versions), in mtd_blktrans_ops callbacks provided by NFTL (nftlcore.c),
reference to NFTLrecord struct is obtained by just typecasting given
mtd_blktrans_dev. Though it works well, it highly position dependent
method and may break for mtd_blktrans_dev struct change. Given that
blktrans_dev struct already have a private field (void *priv) and it is
uninitialized in nftl, is it ok to write a trivial patch to assign
NFTLrecord pointer to mtd_blktrans_dev->priv?
