Subject: JFFS2: don't fail on bitflips in OOB
From: Brian Norris <[email protected]>
commit 74d83beaa229aac7d126ac1ed9414658ff1a89d2 upstream.
JFFS2 was designed without thought for OOB bitflips, it seems, but they
can occur and will be reported to JFFS2 via mtd_read_oob()[1]. We don't
want to fail on these transactions, since the data was corrected.
[1] Few drivers report bitflips for OOB-only transactions. With such
drivers, this patch should have no effect.
