* mtd: change struct flchip_shared spinlock locking into mutexStefani Seibold2010-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch prevent to schedule while atomic by changing the flchip_shared spinlock into a mutex. This should be save since no atomic path will use this lock. It was suggested by Arnd Bergmann and Vasiliy Kulikov.

* mtd: fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers.Stefani Seibold2010-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption. For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs, which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of 20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior breaks real time. The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means. I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex. There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not acquired.

* mtd: OneNAND: multiblock erase supportMika Korhonen2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for multiblock erase command. OneNANDs (excluding Flex-OneNAND) are capable of simultaneous erase of up to 64 eraseblocks which is much faster. This changes the erase requests for regions covering multiple eraseblocks to be performed using multiblock erase.

* mtd: unify status enum from three headersAlessandro Rubini2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | nand.h, onenand.h and flashchip.h defined enumeration types for chip status using the same symbolic names. This prevented a board file to include more than one of them. In particular, no nand and onenand platform devices could live in the same file. This patch augments flashchip.h with a few status values in order to cover all cases, so nand.h and onenand.h can use flstate_t without declaring their own status enum.

* [MTD] [NOR] cfi_cmdset_0001: Timeouts for erase, write and unlock operationsAnders Grafström2008-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timeouts are currently given by the typical operation time times 8. It works in the general well-behaved case but not when an erase block is failing. For erase operations, it seems that a failing erase block will keep the device state machine in erasing state until the vendor specified maximum timeout period has passed. By this time the driver would have long since timed out, left erasing state and attempted further operations which all fail. This patch implements timeouts using values from the CFI Query structure when available. The patch also sets a longer timeout for locking operations. The current value used for locking/unlocking given by 1000000/HZ microseconds is too short for devices like J3 and J5 Strataflash which have a typical clear lock-bits time of 0.5 seconds.

* MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywordsAdrian Bunk2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS. This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code. This also includes code that printed them to the user. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* [MTD] [NOR] fix ctrl-alt-del can't reboot for intel flash bugKevin Hao2007-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | When we press ctrl-alt-del,kernel_restart_prepare will invoke cfi_intelext_reboot which will set flash to read array mode, but later when device_shutdown is invoked which may put current work queue to sleep and other process may be scheduled to running and programming flash in not FL_READY mode again. So we can't boot up if this flash is used for bootloader. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

* [MTD] Support for protection register support on Intel FLASH chipsNicolas Pitre2005-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | This enables support for reading, writing and locking so called "Protection Registers" present on some flash chips. A subset of them are pre-programmed at the factory with a unique set of values. The rest is user-programmable.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
