| | | | | | | | | | These modes are not necessarily for OOB only. Particularly, MTD_OOB_RAW affected operations on in-band page data as well. To clarify these options and to emphasize that their effect is applied per-operation, we change the primary prefix to MTD_OPS_.

* mtd: be silent when mtd partition parser cannot be foundArtem Bityutskiy2011-05-251-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when we register partitions in 'parse_mtd_partitions()' we accept the list of parsers we should try. And if one of the parsers was not found we print a message. Well, first of all this whole idea is bad - look at how many 'part_probes' and 'part_probe_types' variables we have - nearly every driver defines one. Instead, we should just go through all registered parsers all the time. But this needs to be worked on separately. This patch makes life of MTD partitions' users a bit simpler and allows them to safely request parsers which have not been registered - 'parse_mtd_partitions()' will not print a "not available" message in this case. The point is that drivers do not have to do things like this any longer: static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL }; but can simply do like this: static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL }; Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
* mtd: mtdpart: disallow reading OOB past the end of the partitionArtem Bityutskiy2011-01-171-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the mtdpart bug which allows users reading OOB past the end of the partition. This happens because 'part_read_oob()' allows reading multiple OOB areas in one go, and mtdparts does not validate the OOB length in the request. Although there is such check in 'nand_do_read_oob()' in nand_base.c, but it checks that we do not read past the flash chip, not the partition, because in nand_base.c we work with the whole chip (e.g., mtd->size in nand_base.c is the size of the whole chip). So this check cannot be done correctly in nand_base.c and should be instead done in mtdparts.c. This problem was reported by Jason Liu <r64343@freescale.com> and reproduced with nandsim: $ modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xaa third_id_byte=0x00 \ fourth_id_byte=0x15 parts=0x400,0x400 $ modprobe nandsim mtd_oobtest.ko dev=0 $ dmesg = snip = mtd_oobtest: attempting to read past end of device mtd_oobtest: an error is expected... mtd_oobtest: error: read past end of device = snip = mtd_oobtest: finished with 2 errors Reported-by: Jason Liu <liu.h.jason@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

* [MTD] driver model updatesDavid Brownell2009-04-041-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits better into the current udev-based hotplug framework: - Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs. - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes, which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV. - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes; it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd. - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc). - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs. So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

* [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter2008-12-101-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

* [MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointerRichard Purdie2008-02-071-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes. Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to flash. This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it serves to specify the full OOB read length. The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken into account.

* [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completelyThomas Gleixner2006-05-291-14/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully the last iteration on this! The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the read/write _oob functions in mtd. The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at least seven arguments. read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do the following tasks: - read/write out of band data - read/write data content and out of band data - read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled) struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode. Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation, the other two modes are for mtd clients: MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC placement algorithms. MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout data structre which is associated to the devicee. The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write data routines are invoked. Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible regressions for your particular device / application scenario Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go for a real solution. Improvements and bugfixes are welcome! Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* [MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayoutThomas Gleixner2006-05-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space compability reasons. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
