[PATCH v3 1/2] mtd: Add flag to indicate panic_write

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

 



Added a flag to indicate a panic_write so that low level drivers can
use it to take required action where applicable, to ensure oops data
gets written to assigned mtd device.
