Is NAND MTD preemption safe?

[Ronny L Nilsson]

Hi
I have a question about MTD, NAND and race conditions. Basically I'm 
wondering if the NAND support in MTD is preemption safe?

Scenario:
1) A NAND chip is splited in multiple partitions.

2) On each partition (/dev/mtdblockX) is a filesystem.

3) If one filesystem performs a write in the NAND chip, will the other 
filesystems temporarily be lock out? If preemption is enabled in the 
kernel I suspect races might otherwise occur (since addressing and 
command cycles of NANDS are quite lengthy).
