[PATCH 4.17 102/220] mtd: rawnand: fix return value check for bad block status

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jul 01 2018 - 13:09:43 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Abhishek Sahu <absahu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e9893e6fa932f42c90c4ac5849fa9aa0f0f00a34 upstream.

Positive return value from read_oob() is making false BAD
blocks. For some of the NAND controllers, OOB bytes will be
protected with ECC and read_oob() will return number of bitflips.
If there is any bitflip in ECC protected OOB bytes for BAD block
status page, then that block is getting treated as BAD.

Fixes: c120e75e0e7d ("mtd: nand: use read_oob() instead of cmdfunc() for bad block check")
