I'm trying to get somewhere with this. AFAICT reading the spec it does not say anything about the boot sectors being subtracted from the pool of available sectors, i.e. either you set these sectors aside permanently or you do not support the feature. So the behaviour fixed in this patch should be a per-card quirk, not generic. Then this: > + /* size is in 256K chunks, i.e. 512 sectors each */ > + boot_sectors = ext_csd[EXT_CSD_BOOT_SIZE_MULTI] * 512; This is not what the spec says. It states that the size is in 128KB chunks, so the correct code shoul be: boot_sectors = ext_csd[EXT_CSD_BOOT_SIZE_MULTI] * 256; Any comments on this? I guess it's been working, the patch prent in the Android kernels simply remove twice as many sectors as required from the card sector pool :-/ Yours, Linus Walleij -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
