[PATCH 2/2] mtd: spinand: fix bad block marker writing

From: Mikhail Kshevetskiy
Date: Tue Mar 10 2020 - 16:41:21 EST


In spinand_markbad() we use spinand->oobbuf as a bad block marker, fill
it with zeroes and issue spinand_write_page() operation:

struct nand_page_io_req req = {
.pos = *pos,
.ooboffs = 0,
.ooblen = 2,
.oobbuf.out = spinand->oobbuf,
};
...
memset(spinand->oobbuf, 0, 2);
return spinand_write_page(spinand, &req);

spinand_write_page() will call spinand_write_to_cache_op() at some
moment. In spinand_write_to_cache_op() we have:

nbytes = nanddev_page_size(nand) + nanddev_per_page_oobsize(nand);
memset(spinand->databuf, 0xff, nbytes);

This will fill spinand->databuf with 0xff, but spinand->oobbuf is the
part of spinand->databuf (see spinand_init()):

spinand->oobbuf = spinand->databuf + nanddev_page_size(nand);

As result bad block marker will be overwrited by 0xff values, hence
bad block will NOT be marked.

A separate buffer for bad block marker used to fix this issue.
