From d062d4ede877fcd2ecc4c6262abad09a6f32950a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Dunn Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:06:08 -0700 Subject: mtd: bitflip_threshold added to mtd_info and sysfs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit An element 'bitflip_threshold' is added to struct mtd_info, and also exposed as a read/write variable in sysfs. This will be used to determine whether or not mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN or 0 (absent a hard error). If the driver leaves it as zero, mtd will set it to a default value of ecc_strength. This v2 adds the line that propagates bitflip_threshold from the master to the partitions - thanks Ivan¹. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-April/040900.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse --- include/linux/mtd/mtd.h | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h b/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h index cd0119d19cd9..63dadc0dfb62 100644 --- a/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h +++ b/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h @@ -157,6 +157,15 @@ struct mtd_info { unsigned int erasesize_mask; unsigned int writesize_mask; + /* + * read ops return -EUCLEAN if max number of bitflips corrected on any + * one region comprising an ecc step equals or exceeds this value. + * Settable by driver, else defaults to ecc_strength.
