This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: rawnand: Constrain even more when continuous reads are enabled to the 6.7-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-rawnand-constrain-even-more-when-continuous-read.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8d7482e51e926ff4cfbc1f6f118a49d7948cf642 Author: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 7 12:53:14 2024 +0100 mtd: rawnand: Constrain even more when continuous reads are enabled [ Upstream commit 78ffbefba8d7822b232585570b293de5bc397da6 ] As a matter of fact, continuous reads require additional handling at the operation level in order for them to work properly. The core helpers do have this additional logic now, but any time a controller implements its own page helper, this extra logic is "lost". This means we need another level of per-controller driver checks to ensure they can leverage continuous reads. This is for now unsupported, so in order to ensure continuous reads are enabled only when fully using the core page helpers, we need to add more initial checks. Also, as performance is not relevant during raw accesses, we also prevent these from enabling the feature. This should solve the issue seen with controllers such as the STM32 FMC2 when in sequencer mode. In this case, the continuous read feature would be enabled but not leveraged, and most importantly not disabled, leading to further operations to fail.
