[RFC PATCH 1/2] mtd: core: protect access to mtd devices while in suspend

Fri Oct 8 07:38:24 PDT 2021


This will prevent reading/writing/erasing to a suspended mtd device.
It will force mtd_write()/mtd_read()/mtd_erase() to wait for
mtd_resume() to unlock access to mtd devices.

Exec_op[0] speed things up, so we see this race when rawnand devices going
into suspend. But it's actually "mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking" that
allows it to return errors rather than locking, before that commit it would
have waited for the rawnand device to resume.

Tested on a iMX6ULL.

Fixes: 013e6292aaf5 ("mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking")

Hope I got it all :)
