This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device.

The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
Now, we can adjust that via a kernel parameter:
ubi.mtd=<name|num|path>[,<vid_hdr_offs>[,max_beb_per1024]]

Did few minor amendments and applied this one. And pushed out.

Changed this to 'printk(KERN_ERR' and wrapped the line.

The former is because the entire function uses 'printk(KERN_ERR', and I
am a fan of consistency. We can change them all to 'pr_err()' and
'pr_warn()' in a separate patch.

Similar for wrapping - UBI wraps all messages. If we want, we can unwrap
them all in a separate patch.

Feel free to submit such a patch, I won't have objections.

You unwrapped this one and I pushed that as is, because it is just much
more readable, and it is the only place where we describe a module, so
no inconsistencies. :-)

Thank you!

Looking for consistency, I made a quick git grep "\<printk( *KERN_" | wc -l
the answer is  > 32000
Looks like I found something to do if I'm getting bored with openstreetmap :)


I double checked linux-ubi/master tree with mine, it's all right.

I'll resend the mtd-utils part updated with the new kernel header ubi-user.h

Best regards

Richard.

Well, now I am talking about consistency within UBI only, withing the
project. I think that function is the only one which uses plain printk
in UBI. I do not remember the details, but there were some issues using
the UBI wrappers like 'ubi_msg' in this function because it is called
very early during boot time (when UBI is compiled-in). And I just did
not know about pr_err() that time, or pr_err() did not exist. So you can
just amend this single function if you wish.

(for the record, pr_err didn't exists at the time UBI got into the kernel)
I tested this function with pr_err and ubi_err, and both are working.
(by using  ubi.mtd= ubi.mtd=2,0,toto ubi.mtd=1,2,3,4)
It should be better to use ubi_err don't you think ?
(or I missed a corner case ?)

I guess it is safe to change than, thank you!
