Permit the user to specify the erase page size as a parameter. This solves two problems: - phram can access images made by mkfs.jffs2. mkfs.jffs2 won't create images with erase sizes less than 8KiB; many architectures define PAGE_SIZE as 4KiB. - Allows more effective use of small capacity devices. JFFS2 needs somewhere between 2 and 5 empty pages for garbage collection; and for an NVRAM part with only 32KiB of space, a smaller erase page allows much better utilization in applications where garbage collection is important.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
