When block erases fail, these blocks are marked bad. The number of valid blocks in the line was not updated, which could cause an infinite loop on the erase path. Fix this atomic counter and, in order to avoid taking an irq lock on the interrupt context, make the erase counters atomic too. Also, in the case that a significant number of blocks become bad in a line, the result is the double shared metadata buffer (emeta) to stop the pipeline until all metadata is flushed to the media. Increase the number of metadata lines from 2 to 4 to avoid this case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
