From 92e1a7d9e7e07fb1cf0cbbcdf202938d0819b54d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 14:22:17 +0300 Subject: UBI: handle bit-flips when no header found Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only 0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list, even though there were bit-flips. Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.
