From 7e4404113686868858a34210c28ae122e967aa64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauri Sandberg Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 19:48:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Disable buffered writes for AMD chip 0x2201 Buffer writes do not work with AMD chip 0x2201. The chip in question is a AMD/Spansion/Cypress Semiconductor S29GL256N and datasheet [1] talks about writing buffers being possible. While waiting for a neater solution resort to writing word-sized chunks only. Without the patch kernel logs will be flooded with entries like below: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0 jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device... done. jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker... MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01ec000a. jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01920000 failed: -5 MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01e2000a. jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01880000 failed: -5 MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01e0000a. jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01860000 failed: -5 MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01dc000a. jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01820000 failed: -5 MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01da000a. jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01800000 failed: -5 ... Tested on a Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh running kernel 5.10.16.
