[PATCH v5 2/2] ubi: expose the volume CRC check skip flag

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

 



Now that we have the logic for skipping CRC check for static UBI volumes
in the core, let's expose it to users.

This makes use of a padding byte in the volume description data
structure as a flag. This flag only tell for now whether we should skip
the CRC check of a volume.

This checks the UBI volume for which we are trying to skip the CRC check
is static.

Let's also make sure that the flags passed to verify_mkvol_req are
valid.

We voluntarily do not take into account the skip_check flag in
vol_cdev_write() as we want to make sure what we wrote was correctly
written.
