[02/90] mtd: mtdoops: skip reading initially bad blocks

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Jan 23 2012 - 18:47:18 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roman Tereshonkov <roman.tereshonkov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3538c56329936c78f7d356889908790006d0124c upstream.

Use block_isbad to check and skip the bad blocks reading.
This will allow to get rid of the read errors if bad blocks
are present initially.
