This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: mtdconcat: Judge callback existence based on the master to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mtd-mtdconcat-judge-callback-existence-based-on-the-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 22a4f4d865ee3153af15ae8c249f761c8a65ac21 Author: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 17 19:48:56 2021 +0800 mtd: mtdconcat: Judge callback existence based on the master [ Upstream commit f9e109a209a8e01e16f37e1252304f1eb3908be4 ] Since commit 46b5889cc2c5("mtd: implement proper partition handling") applied, mtd partition device won't hold some callback functions, such as _block_isbad, _block_markbad, etc. Besides, function mtd_block_isbad() will get mtd device's master mtd device, then invokes master mtd device's callback function. So, following process may result mtd_block_isbad() always return 0, even though mtd device has bad blocks: 1. Split a mtd device into 3 partitions: PA, PB, PC [ Each mtd partition device won't has callback function _block_isbad(). ] 2. Concatenate PA and PB as a new mtd device PN [ mtd_concat_create() finds out each subdev has no callback function _block_isbad(), so PN won't be assigned callback function concat_block_isbad(). ] Then, mtd_block_isbad() checks "!master->_block_isbad" is true, will always return 0.
