NVM fstorage issue

Hello, we are having a low occurrence issue when attempting to write some data in NVM using fstorage.

We are using a nRF52832 as a BLE peripheral using SDK15.2.0 and SoftDevice s132, also we're also using FreeRTOS.

Here's the relevant (modified) code we're using for writing:

#define NVM_DATA_ADDR 0x77000

static void wait_for_flash_ready(nrf_fstorage_t const *p_fstorage)
{
  /* While fstorage is busy, sleep and wait for an event. */
  while (nrf_fstorage_is_busy(p_fstorage))
  {
    (void) sd_app_evt_wait();
  }
}

static bool write_flash_data(void)
{
  struct s_nvm_data nvm_data = get_nvm_data();
  ret_code_t rc;

  if (memcmp(&nvm_data,
             (void *) NVM_DATA_ADDR,
             sizeof(struct s_nvm_data)) == 0)
  {
    return true;
  }

  rc = nrf_fstorage_erase(&fstorage,
                          NVM_DATA_ADDR,
                          1,
                          NULL);
  if (rc != NRF_SUCCESS)
  {
    return false;
  }
  wait_for_flash_ready(&fstorage);

  rc = nrf_fstorage_write(&fstorage,
                          NVM_DATA_ADDR,
                          &nvm_data,
                          sizeof(struct s_nvm_data),
                          NULL);
  if (rc != NRF_SUCCESS)
  {
    return false;
  }
  wait_for_flash_ready(&fstorage);

  if (memcmp(&nvm_data,
             (void *) NVM_DATA_ADDR,
             sizeof(struct s_nvm_data)) != 0)
  {
    return false;
  }

  return true;
}

void write_flash_task(void *arg)
{
  bool success;

  init_fstorage();

  for (;;)
  {
    if (semaphore_take(SEM_NVM))
    {
      do
      {
        success = write_flash_data();
      } while (!success);
    }
  }
}

The semaphore is given when our device is in advertising (advertising interval is 200ms), after about 30 min the device is power off.

On power on reading back the data, we observed sometime that the nvm data were neither written nor erased (same value as before write attempt).

The task is configured as one of the lowest priority, though when attempting to write there is close to no other task running (except softdevice).

Would you be able to help us?
