What does oob stand for in mtd.h?
Greetings MTD subsystem developers,
I am wondering what oob stands for in mtd.h as a lot of functions are using it in their names. This would greatly need in me understanding the core of this subsystem if something points out what this stands for. Regards and Thanks,
Nick

"Google is your friend". :)
A search for "NAND oob" turns up multiple URLs that can shed light on the meaning of OOB in the context of a NAND device.
But to suffice, OOB = "Out Of Band" meaning the bytes of "extra" sotrage read/written with every page access of a NAND device (aka the "spare area" of each page). Usually the OOB area contains ECC bytes (to correct the NAND in the case of a bit flip during read), and probably metadata (used by YAFFS and other NAND-based filesystems).

BTW: I'll NACK every single patch from you which touches MTD until you prove that you have a setup to test
your patches and completely changed your attitude.

Greetings Richard,
I do understand your concern and if you look at the logs for lkml, I have got two patches accepted into the mainline. If there are any other ways I can prove that I am changed my attitude please let me known.

Your reputation seems to be known for months and only recently you tried to fool us (me) with your b43 patch
[PATCH] drivers:net:wireless: Add mutex locking for function, b43_op_beacon_set_time in main.c
I don't think anything has changed in the last 9 days (since b43 patch).
Rafal,
Clearly you did not read the logs more carefully. My patch was accepted for x86 kvm subsystem. Regards Nick
