mtdblock mount issue

[Max Stirling]

Hi,

I am trying to mount a cramfs partition from flash. I have the low level 
driver written and MTDBLOCK_RO module is enabled in MTD,

My mount fails with invalid argument error.

/mount: Mounting /dev/mtdblock on /home/crfs failed: Invalid argument/

I am using a 512 byte NAND flash 16byte spare.

I can find cramfs in /proc/filesytems and the mtdblock is under 
/proc/devices.

I had enabled a few debug statements in the mtdblock_ro and the low 
level nand driver code. I find that the mount is reading 32 pages after 
which it fails with invalid argument. Below is the log.

If you see the log below, the flow of code is

 cramfs_read ==> do_blktrans_request ==> mtdblock_readsect ==> 
mt_read(my low level read function which returns success)

I even dumped the hex of the data being read by my low level driver 
module and found to match the cramfs image that I wrote to the flash.
