|
|
Description:
|
|
This allows the user to examine and adjust the criteria by which
|
|
mtd returns -EUCLEAN from mtd_read() and mtd_read_oob(). If the
|
|
maximum number of bit errors that were corrected on any single
|
|
region comprising an ecc step (as reported by the driver) equals
|
|
or exceeds this value, -EUCLEAN is returned. Otherwise, absent
|
|
an error, 0 is returned. Higher layers (e.g., UBI) use this
|
|
return code as an indication that an erase block may be
|
|
degrading and should be scrutinized as a candidate for being
|
|
marked as bad.
|
|
|
|
The initial value may be specified by the flash device driver.
|
|
If not, then the default value is ecc_strength.
|
|
|
|
The introduction of this feature brings a subtle change to the
|
|
meaning of the -EUCLEAN return code. Previously, it was
|
|
interpreted to mean simply "one or more bit errors were
|
|
corrected". Its new interpretation can be phrased as "a
|
|
dangerously high number of bit errors were corrected on one or
|
|
more regions comprising an ecc step". The precise definition of
|
|
"dangerously high" can be adjusted by the user with
|
|
bitflip_threshold. Users are discouraged from doing this,
|
|
however, unless they know what they are doing and have intimate
|
|
knowledge of the properties of their device. Broadly speaking,
|
|
bitflip_threshold should be low enough to detect genuine erase
|
|
block degradation, but high enough to avoid the consequences of
|
|
a persistent return value of -EUCLEAN on devices where sticky
|
|
bitflips occur. Note that if bitflip_threshold exceeds
|
|
ecc_strength, -EUCLEAN is never returned by the read operations.
|
|
Conversely, if bitflip_threshold is zero, -EUCLEAN is always
|
|
returned, absent a hard error.
|
|
|
|
This is generally applicable only to NAND flash devices with ECC
|
|
capability. It is ignored on devices lacking ECC capability;
|
|
i.e., devices for which ecc_strength is zero.
