Re-entrancy of flash erase/write

Hi,

maybe I just don't know where to look, but..

Am I right in assuming that it is not possible to erase
and/or write different blocks of the same flash chip
concurrently ?

If so, where is the lock in the MTD code that would
prevent concurrent execution of erase/write on the
same chip by multiple processes ?

Thanks for any insights!

Rob
