Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: stop BBT creation when the marker scan fails
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 22:52:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-submit-rawnand-bbt-scan-error-v1-v1-1-0bef8334198c@gmail.com> (raw)

create_bbt() returns an error if reading a bad-block marker fails, but
check_create() ignores that result. It can assign version 1 to the
incomplete RAM table and write it to the primary and mirror locations.
Unscanned factory-bad blocks then appear good in the persisted tables.

Propagate the scan failure before changing table versions or writing
either copy. Keep explicit NAND_BBT_CREATE_EMPTY initialization unchanged.

Fixes: eeada24da8bd ("[MTD] NAND: Read only OOB bytes during bad block scan")
