Subject: [RFC][PATCH] UBI: allocate verification buffer on demand
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:37:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f450bb8.334cb40a.7321.64a3@mx.google.com> (raw)

From: Josselin Costanzi <josselin.costanzi@mobile-devices.fr>

With recent Nand (2MiB erase block), UBI/UBIFS is allocating a lot of RAM each
time a mtd device is attached and each time a ubifs volume is mounted.
The following patch makes UBI allocate peb_buf2 on demand.

Note: I'm not sure using vmalloc while holding buf_mutex is okay or not.
I'm waiting for you comments.
