mtd: spi-nor: factor out replace-able flash_{lock,unlock}

2015-03-27T17:37:38+00:00

Flash lock/unlock is a flash-specific operations. Factor out a callback
for it to more readily support other vendors.

mtd: clean up whitespace in linux/mtd/map.h

2015-03-11T22:25:56+00:00

As the only comments I got for the "mtd: cfi: reduce stack size"
patch were about whitespace changes, it appears necessary to fix
up the rest of the file as well, which contains the exact same
mistakes.

mtd: cfi: reduce stack size

2015-03-11T22:25:51+00:00

The cfi_staa_write_buffers function uses a large amount of kernel stack
whenever CONFIG_MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32 is set, and that results in a
warning on ARM allmodconfig builds:

drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

It turns out that this is largely a result of a suboptimal implementation
of map_word_andequal(). Replacing this function with a straightforward
one reduces the stack size in this function by exactly 200 bytes,
shrinks the .text segment for this file from 27648 bytes to 26608 bytes,
and makes the warning go away.

UBI: Add initial support for scatter gather

2015-01-28T15:04:26+00:00

Adds a new set of functions to deal with scatter gather.
ubi_eba_read_leb_sg() will read from a LEB into a scatter gather list.
The new data structure struct ubi_sgl will be used within UBI to
hold the scatter gather list itself and metadata to have a cursor
within the list.

UBI: Implement UBI_METAONLY

2015-01-28T14:57:04+00:00

UBI_METAONLY is a new open mode for UBI volumes, it indicates
that only meta data is being changed.
Meta data in terms of UBI volumes means data which is stored in the
UBI volume table but not on the volume itself.
While it does not interfere with UBI_READONLY and UBI_READWRITE
it is not allowed to use UBI_METAONLY together with UBI_EXCLUSIVE.

fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

2015-01-20T21:02:58+00:00

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

mtd: spi-nor: Add quad I/O support for Micron SPI NOR

2015-01-07T19:33:22+00:00

This patch adds code which enables Quad I/O mode on Micron SPI NOR flashes.

For Micron SPI NOR flash, enabling or disabling quad I/O protocol can be
done By two methods, which are to use EVCR (Enhanced Volatile
Configuration Register) and the ENTER QUAD I/O MODE command. There is no
difference between these two methods. Unfortunately, for some Micron SPI
NOR flashes, there no ENTER Quad I/O command (35h), such as n25q064. But
for all current Micron SPI NOR, if it support quad I/O mode, using EVCR
definitely be supported. It is a recommended method to enable Quad I/O
mode by EVCR, Quad I/O protocol bit 7. When EVCR bit 7 is reset to 0,
the SPI NOR flash will operate in quad I/O mode.

This patch has been tested on N25Q512A and MT25TL256BAA1ESF. Micron SPI
NOR of spi_nor_ids[] table all support this method.
