I'm not sure whether introducing a read-before-write check is the best solution.
At least we need hard numbers for slow/old SLC NANDs too.

We can enable the feature only for MLC, AFAIK it has not been required for old SLC ;-)

I think this needs more discussion.

Boris, Brian, will you be at Embedded Linux Conference Europe in Dublin?

I really want to avoid ad-hoc solutions. :)

Maybe I'll be at ELCE this year too
I'll be glad to meet all of you in person and participate to this discussion. :)

It will be nice if also some silicon vendor would like to participate. I know that someone from micron is actively following us on this ML, but I don't really know if there's someone here in Europe. :)


Thanks.
In your opinion, enabling chk_io is correct to rough estimate the overhead

You mean the other checks bedside of self_check_write()? You can comment them out
