* [MTD] NAND: add subpage write supportThomas Gleixner2006-11-29
| | | | | | | Many SLC NANDs support up to 4 writes at one NAND page. Add support of this feature. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>

* [MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.Vitaly Wool2006-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input! Signed-off-by: Vitaly Wool <vwool@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* [MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspaceThomas Gleixner2006-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* [MTD] NAND Signal that a bitflip was corrected by ECCThomas Gleixner2006-05-29
| | | | | | | | Return -EUCLEAN on read when a bitflip was detected and corrected, so the clients can react and eventually copy the affected block to a spare one. Make all in kernel users aware of the change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completelyThomas Gleixner2006-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Gleixner2006-05-29
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* [MTD] NAND Consolidate oobinfo handlingThomas Gleixner2006-05-29
| | | | | | | | | The info structure for out of band data was copied into the mtd structure. Make it a pointer and remove the ability to set it from userspace. The position of ecc bytes is defined by the hardware and should not be changed by software. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

* [MTD] Introduce writesizeJoern Engel2006-05-22
| | | | | | | | At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit, similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@wh.fh-wedel.de>

* MTD: mtdconcat NAND/Sibley support (rev.2)Alexander Belyakov2006-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a second revision of "mtdconcat NAND/Sibley" patch. I hope the patch will not get damaged as I'm posting it from gmail account, thanks to Jorn. The patch adds previously missing concat_writev(), concat_writev_ecc(), concat_block_isbad(), concat_block_markbad() functions to make concatenation layer compatible with Sibley and NAND chips. Patch has been cleared from whitespaces, fixed some lines of code as requested. Also I have added code for alignment check that should support Jorn's "writesize" patch.

* [PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-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!
