The function call process is as follows:
mtd_blktrans_work()
while (1)
do_blktrans_request()
mtdblock_writesect()
do_cached_write()
write_cached_data() /*if cache_state is STATE_DIRTY*/
erase_write()
write_cached_data() returns failure without modifying cache_state
and cache_offset. So when do_cached_write() is called again,
write_cached_data() will be called again to perform erase_write()
on the same cache_offset.
But if this cache_offset points to a bad block, erase_write() will
always return -EIO. Writing to this mtdblk is equivalent to losing
the current data, and repeatedly writing to the bad block.
Repeatedly writing a bad block has no real benefits,
but brings some negative effects:
1 Lost subsequent data
2 Loss of flash device life
3 erase_write() bad blocks are very time-consuming. For example:
the function do_erase_oneblock() in chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c or
chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c may take more than 20 seconds to return
Therefore, when erase_write() returns -EIO in write_cached_data(),
clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly.
