Subject: [PATCH 2/6] jffs2: write verify: replace memcmp with byte-by-byte comparison
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:49:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820105003.2525647-3-zhouminqiang2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820105003.2525647-1-zhouminqiang2@huawei.com>

jffs2_verify_write() uses memcmp() to compare the write buffer
against data read back from flash. While memcmp() compares byte
by byte internally, it only reports equal or not-equal without
identifying the mismatch offset.

To pinpoint the exact mismatch offset, replace this with the
approach used by UBI's self_check_write(): compare byte by byte
and, on mismatch, report the first differing offset and dump up
to 128 bytes of both the source and read-back data.
