From 4793e7c5e1c88382ead18db5ca072bac54467318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 16:29:46 +0300 Subject: UBIFS: add bulk-read facility Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates. UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located consecutively in the same LEB. Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to 19 MiB/s.
