mtd-physmap: add support users can assign the probe type in board files

2010-08-08T11:28:15+00:00

There are three reasons to add this support:
1. users probably know the interface type of their flashs, then probe
can be faster if they give the right type in platform data since wrong
types will not be detected.
2. sometimes, detecting can cause destory to system. For example, for
kernel XIP, detecting can cause NOR enter a mode instructions can not
be fetched right, which will make kernel crash.
3. For a new probe which is not listed in the rom_probe_types, if users
assign it in board files, physmap can still probe it.

mtd: change struct flchip_shared spinlock locking into mutex

2010-08-06T08:22:16+00:00

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: OneNAND: Introduce chip_probe function

2010-08-04T09:51:47+00:00

Samsung SoCs use the own OneNAND controler and detect OneNAND chip at power on.
To use this feature, introduce the chip_probe function.

Also remove workaround for Samsung SoCs.

mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan options

2010-08-02T08:09:06+00:00

This is a revision to PATCH 2/2 that I sent. Link:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-July/030911.html

Added new flag for scanning of both bytes 1 and 6 of the OOB for
a BB marker (instead of simply one or the other).

The "check_pattern" and "check_short_pattern" functions were updated
to include support for scanning the two different locations in the OOB.

In order to handle increases in variety of necessary scanning patterns,
I implemented dynamic memory allocation of nand_bbt_descr structs
in new function 'nand_create_default_bbt_descr()'. This replaces
some increasingly-unwieldy, statically-declared descriptors. It can
replace several more (e.g. "flashbased" structs). However, I do not
test the flashbased options personally.

How this was tested:

I referenced 30+ data sheets (covering 100+ parts), and I tested a
selection of 10 different chips to varying degrees. Particularly, I
tested the creation of bad-block descriptors and basic BB scanning on
three parts:

ST NAND04GW3B2D, 2K page
ST NAND128W3A, 512B page
Samsung K9F1G08U0A, 2K page

To test these, I wrote some fake bad block markers to the flash (in OOB
bytes 1, 6, and elsewhere) to see if the scanning routine would detect
them properly. However, this method was somewhat limited because the
driver I am using has some bugs in its OOB write functionality.

mtd: nand: edit macro flag for BBT scan of last page in block

2010-08-02T08:05:12+00:00

NAND_BB_LAST_PAGE used to be in nand.h, but it pertained to bad block
management and so belongs next to NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE in bbm.h. Also,
its previous flag value (0x00000400) conflicted with NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES
so I changed its value to 0x00008000. All uses of the name were modified to
provide consistency with other "NAND_BBT_*" flags.

mtd: add an ioctl to query the lock status of a flash sector

2010-08-02T08:03:41+00:00

This patchs adds a way for user space programs to find out whether a
flash sector is locked. An optional driver method in the mtd_info struct
provides the information.

mtd: nand: support alternate BB marker locations on MLC

2010-05-14T00:56:12+00:00

This is a slightly modified version of a patch submitted last year by
Reuben Dowle .  His original comments follow:

This patch adds support for some MLC NAND flashes that place the BB
marker in the LAST page of the bad block rather than the FIRST page used
for SLC NAND and other types of MLC nand.

Lifted from Samsung datasheet for K9LG8G08U0A (1Gbyte MLC NAND):
"
Identifying Initial Invalid Block(s)
All device locations are erased(FFh) except locations where the initial
invalid block(s) information is written prior to shipping. The initial
invalid block(s) status is defined by the 1st byte in the spare area.
Samsung makes sure that the last page of every initial invalid block has
non-FFh data at the column address of 2,048.
...
"

As far as I can tell, this is the same for all Samsung MLC nand, and in
fact the samsung bsp for the processor used in our project (s3c6410)
actually contained a hack similar to this patch but less portable to
enable use of their NAND parts. I discovered this problem when trying to
use a Micron NAND which does not used this layout - I wish samsung would
put their stuff in main-line to avoid this type of problem.

Currently this patch causes all MLC nand with manufacturer codes from
Samsung and ST(Numonyx) to use this alternative location, since these
are the manufactures that I know of that use this layout.

mtd: nand: extend NAND flash detection to new MLC chips

2010-05-14T00:54:44+00:00

Some of the newer MLC devices have a 6-byte ID sequence in which
several field definitions differ from older chips in a manner that is
not backward compatible.  For instance:

Samsung K9GAG08U0M (5-byte sequence): ec d5 14 b6 74
4th byte, bits 1:0 encode the page size: 0=1KiB, 1=2KiB, 2=4KiB, 3=8KiB
4th byte, bits 5:4 encode the block size: 0=64KiB, 1=128KiB, ...
4th byte, bit 6 encodes the OOB size: 0=8B/512B, 1=16B/512B

Samsung K9GAG08U0D (6-byte sequence): ec d5 94 29 34 41
4th byte, bits 1:0 encode the page size: 0=2KiB, 1=4KiB, 3=8KiB, 4=rsvd
4th byte, bits 7;5:4 encode the block size: 0=128KiB, 1=256KiB, ...
4th byte, bits 6;3:2 encode the OOB size: 1=128B/page, 2=218B/page

This patch uses the new 6-byte scheme if the following conditions are
all true:

1) The ID code wraps around after exactly 6 bytes

2) Manufacturer is Samsung

3) 6th byte is zero

The patch also extends the maximum OOB size from 128B to 256B.
