[PATCH mtd-utils 00/10] New options for hardening continuous read support

[Miquel Raynal]

Continuous reads can significantly improve the read speed when several
sequential pages are read. Support has been (is being) contributed to
the Linux kernel and in order to test the features I had to hack in to
the mtd-utils in order to add several options.

The options are named -c, except when -c was already in-use, where I
switched to -C:

* nanddump: When asking for more than one page, we can ask to enable the
  	    feature and compare two outputs.
* nandbiterrs: The biflips will only happen in the first page, but two
  	       pages will be read. The returned values concern the
	       entire read.
* flash_test: It is interesting to see the read speed increasing with
  	      the number of pages. The new measurements are made
	      optionals.

Cheers,
Miquèl

Miquel Raynal (10):
  nand-utils: nanddump: Use a specific variable for the buffer size
  nand-utils: nanddump: Explicitely use the page size when relevant
  nand-utils: nanddump: Add support for testing continuous reads
  mtd-tests: nandbiterrs: Store the chunks size in an intermediate
    variable
  mtd-tests: nandbiterrs: Add support for testing continuous reads
  mtd-tests: flash_speed: Drop an apparently useless block
  mtd-tests: flash_speed: Clarify the number of pages in each set while
    measuring
  mtd-tests: flash_speed: Generalize read_eraseblock_by_2pages()
  mtd-tests: flash_speed: Drop read_eraseblock_by_page()
  mtd-tests: flash_speed: Benchmark continuous reads
