UBI: fix corrupted PEB detection for NOR flash

2010-12-03T13:49:21+00:00

My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if

1. EC header is OK.
2. VID header is corrupted.
3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"

In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
scary warnings, wrongly.

This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.

Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin  for tracking this down.

mtd: fix build error in m25p80.c

2010-10-30T11:46:08+00:00

While building an x86 distro kernel, I hit the following:

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#7)
ERROR: "of_mtd_parse_partitions" [drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.ko]
undefined!

of_mtd_parse_partitions is defined with MTD_OF_PARTS, and that's only
built on PPC and microblaze.  The code in question should be wrapped w/
a stricter #ifdef.

mtd: Remove redundant mutex from mtd_blkdevs.c

2010-10-30T11:39:21+00:00

In commit 2a48fc0ab24241755dc93bfd4f01d68efab47f5a ('block: autoconvert
trivial BKL users to private mutex'), Arnd replaced the BKL usage with a
mutex. However, Maxim has already provided a better fix in commit
480792b7bf188c29b8d4b10fee65c3a06ec5dbf7 ('mtd: blktrans: kill BKL'),
which was simply to remove the BKL without replacing it — since he'd
already made it do all necessary locking for itself.

MTD: Fix wrong check register_blkdev return value

2010-10-30T11:30:50+00:00

register_blkdev return 1..255 when major = 0.

if (ret ) {
	printk(KERN_WARNING "Unable to register %s block device on major %d: %d\n",
		tr->name, tr->major, ret);
	      mutex_unlock(&mtd_table_mutex);
	return ret;
}

Above code will return fail when register_blkdev return allocated major number.

This reverts commit 432dc821c90114f9b0e00f6752a700e937516ade.

The individual CFI geometry options were carefully set up to get sane
default values if the CFI_ADV_OPTIONS wasn't set, and it wasn't
appropriate to move them into an if/endif block.
