[GIT PULL 05/20] lightnvm: pblk: warn in case of corrupted write buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Javier González <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When cleaning up buffer entries as we wrap up, their state should be
"completed". If any of the entries is in "submitted" state, it means
that something bad has happened. Trigger a warning immediately instead of
waiting for the state flag to eventually be updated, thus hiding the
issue.
