Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/9] drivers:nand:mtd: add support for UBI bakvol in mtd

Hi Bean,

I know you don't have any other choices to expose "two-plane page
program" to the UBI layer, but I keep thinking that exposing that to
the MTD users is not a good idea (I might be wrong ;-)).

IMHO, if we were about to allow parallel write operations this should
be exposed as a more generic API, something like:

struct mtd_write_op {
	loff_t to;
	struct mtd_oob_ops ops;
};

struct mtd_multi_write_ops {
	struct list_head writes;
};

int (*_multi_write)(struct mtd_info *mtd,
		    struct mtd_multi_write_ops *ops);

Then the NAND layer could optimize that if the NAND chip supports
"two-plane page program", and if 2 pages in the write list are
fulfilling the requirements.

Are those changes related to this patch?
