* mtd: fix oops in dataflash driverWill Newton2012-05-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm seeing an oops in mtd_dataflash.c with Linux 3.3. What appears to be happening is that otp_select_filemode calls mtd_read_fact_prot_reg with -1 for offset and length and a NULL buffer to test if OTP operations are supported. This finds its way down to otp_read in mtd_dataflash.c and causes an oops when memcpying the returned data into the NULL buf. None of the checks in otp_read catches the negative length and offset. Changing the length of the dummy read to 0 prevents the oops.

| * mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functionsArtem Bityutskiy2012-03-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix: mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob ... The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following: 1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users 2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes less likely that people will use them directly 3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners spot the big API change and amend them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MTD functions always assign the 'retlen' argument to 0 at the very beginning - the callers do not have to do this. I used the following semantic patch to find these places: @@ identifier retlen; expression a, b, c, d, e; constant C; type T; @@ ( - retlen = C; | T -retlen = C + retlen ; ) ... when != retlen when exists ( mtd_read(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_write(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_panic_write(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_point(a, b, c, &retlen, d, e) | mtd_read_fact_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_write_user_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_read_user_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d) | mtd_writev(a, b, c, d, &retlen) ) I ran it twice, because there were cases of double zero assigments in mtd tests. Then I went through the patch to verify that spatch did not find any false positives.

* mtd: introduce mtd_erase interfaceArtem Bityutskiy2012-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level, which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly. At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be duplicated at many drivers. This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface.

However, mtdchar.c has its own 'mtd_read()', 'mtd_write()', etc functions which collide with our changes. This patch renames these functions to 'mtdchar_read()', 'mtdchar_write()', etc. Additionally, to make the 'mtdchar.c' file look consistent, rename similarly all the other functions starting with 'mtd_'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a new ioctl for writing both page data and OOB to flash at the same time. This ioctl is intended to be a generic interface that can replace other ioctls (MEMWRITEOOB and MEMWRITEOOB64) and cover the functionality of several other old ones, e.g., MEMWRITE can: * write autoplaced OOB instead of using ECCGETLAYOUT (deprecated) and working around the reserved areas * write raw (no ECC) OOB instead of using MTDFILEMODE to set the per-file-descriptor MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW * write raw (no ECC) data instead of using MTDFILEMODE (MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW) and using standard character device "write" This ioctl is especially useful for MLC NAND, which cannot be written twice (i.e., we cannot successfully write the page data and OOB in two separate operations). Instead, MEMWRITE can write both in a single operation. Note that this ioctl is not affected by the MTD file mode (i.e., MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW vs. MTD_FILE_MODE_NORMAL), since it receives its write mode as an input parameter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These modes hold their state only for the life of their file descriptor, and they overlap functionality with the MTD_OPS_* modes. Particularly, MTD_MODE_RAW and MTD_OPS_RAW cover the same function: to provide raw (i.e., without ECC) access to the flash. In fact, although it may not be clear, MTD_MODE_RAW implied that operations should enable the MTD_OPS_RAW mode. Thus, we should be specific on what each mode means. This is a start, where MTD_FILE_MODE_* actually represents a "file mode," not necessarily a true global MTD mode.

| * mtd: support reading OOB without ECCBrian Norris2011-09-111-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE based on the MTD file mode. For now, most drivers can get away with just setting: chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above, you must supply your own replacement function. This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

| * mtd: support writing OOB without ECCBrian Norris2011-09-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly), contrary to the `--noecc' option. I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the problems by: 1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting to MTD_OOB_PLACE 2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob' 3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing either with or without ECC This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

| * mtd: do not assume oobsize is power of 2Brian Norris2011-09-111-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous generations of MTDs all used OOB sizes that were powers of 2, (e.g., 64, 128). However, newer generations of flash, especially NAND, use irregular OOB sizes that are not powers of 2 (e.g., 218, 224, 448). This means we cannot use masks like "mtd->oobsize - 1" to assume that we will get a proper bitmask for OOB operations. These masks are really only intended to hide the "page" portion of the offset, leaving any OOB offset intact, so a masking with the writesize (which *is* always a power of 2) is valid and makes more sense. This has been tested for read/write of NAND devices (nanddump/nandwrite) using nandsim and actual NAND flash.

| * mtd: replace DEBUG() with pr_debug()Brian Norris2011-09-111-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Start moving away from the MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL messages. The dynamic debugging feature is a generic kernel feature that provides more flexibility. (See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt) Also fix some punctuation, indentation, and capitalization that went along with the affected lines.

| * mtd: edit NAND-related commentBrian Norris2011-09-111-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This comment was unclear regarding which NAND functions do and do not support ECC on the spare area. This update should reflect the current status of the NAND system but can be updated if changes are made in the standard functions.
