[PATCH v2 6/7] jffs2: rename CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY to CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITE_VERIFY
From: zhouminqiang
Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 02:26:42 EST
Write verification now covers all write paths including NOR direct
writes and write-buffer direct page writes, not just the write-buffer
flush path. The Kconfig option also no longer depends on
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER.
Rename the option from CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY to
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITE_VERIFY to reflect its broader scope and
independence from the write-buffer configuration.
Update defconfig files that explicitly enabled the old symbol to use
the new name, so that platforms which previously relied on this
verification continue to have it enabled.

- This causes JFFS2 to read back every page written through the
- write-buffer, and check for errors.
+ Read back data immediately after flash writes and compare it
+ with the in-memory image that was written. This covers both
+ write-buffer flushes and direct writes to non-writebuffered
+ devices.
+
+ This may catch corruption introduced after node CRCs are
+ calculated but before/while data is transferred to the flash
+ controller (e.g. RAM or DMA), where mtd_write() may succeed
+ while the medium does not match what JFFS2 intended.
+
+ Without an immediate read-back, a later node CRC failure cannot
+ tell transport/program-time corruption from post-commit media
+ damage.
+
+ If unsure, say 'N'.
