Betreff: [Yaffs] bug in yaffs_WriteNewChunkWithTagsToNAND
When CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_CHUNK_ERASED_CHECK is defined
and yaffs_WriteNewChunkWithTagsToNAND gets a failure on
the call to yaffs_WriteChunkWithTagsToNAND()
it will loop over the all (free) chunks failing to write
and printing "yaffs chunk %d was not erased".

Well, it actually skips the second write and thinks it failed.

The range of the #ifdef CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_CHUNK_ERASED_CHECK
needs to extend to just below the next "else".

See below. I also think it would be a good idea to limit "attempts"
to some sane number, perhaps chunks-per-block * 10.

=======================

       do{
                chunk = yaffs_AllocateChunk(dev,useReserve);


                if(chunk >= 0)
                {


                        // First check this chunk is erased...
#ifndef CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_CHUNK_ERASED_CHECK
                        writeOk = yaffs_CheckChunkErased(dev,chunk);
// not here #endif          
                        if(!writeOk)
                        {
                                T(YAFFS_TRACE_ERROR,(TSTR("**>> yaffs chunk %d was not erased" TENDSTR),chunk));
                        }
