mtd: allow getting MTD device associated with a specific DT node MTD subsystem API allows interacting with MTD devices (e.g. reading, writing, handling bad blocks). So far a random driver could get MTD device only by its name (get_mtd_device_nm()). This change allows getting them also by a DT node. This API is required for drivers handling DT defined MTD partitions in a specific way (e.g. U-Boot (sub)partition with environment variables).

mtd: add ECC error accounting for each read request Extend struct mtd_req_stats with two new fields holding the number of corrected bitflips and uncorrectable errors detected during a read operation. This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing those counters to user space, where they can be useful to applications for making better-informed choices about moving data around. Unlike 'max_bitflips' (which is set - in a common code path - to the return value of a function called while the MTD device's mutex is held), these counters have to be maintained in each MTD driver which defines the '_read_oob' callback because the statistics need to be calculated while the MTD device's mutex is held.

mtd: track maximum number of bitflips for each read request mtd_read_oob() callers are currently oblivious to the details of ECC errors detected during the read operation - they only learn (through the return value) whether any corrected bitflips or uncorrectable errors occurred. More detailed ECC information can be useful to user-space applications for making better-informed choices about moving data around. Extend struct mtd_oob_ops with a pointer to a newly-introduced struct mtd_req_stats and set its 'max_bitflips' field to the maximum number of bitflips found in a single ECC step during the read operation performed by mtd_read_oob().

mtd: fix 'part' field data corruption in mtd_info Commit 46b5889cc2c5 ("mtd: implement proper partition handling") started using "mtd_get_master_ofs()" in mtd callbacks to determine memory offsets by means of 'part' field from mtd_info, what previously was smashed accessing 'master' field in the mtd_set_dev_defaults() method. That provides wrong offset what causes hardware access errors. Just make 'part', 'master' as separate fields, rather than using union type to avoid 'part' data corruption when mtd_set_dev_defaults() is called.

mtd: implement proper partition handling Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD device is the root one, not a partition). By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we can get rid of the mtd_part structure. While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we will call them 'parent' and 'child'.

mtd: introduce the mtd_pairing_scheme concept MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit, but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage usage. The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD users the pairing scheme information. The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit pointed by pairing information). It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups.

mtd: create an mtd_ooblayout_ops struct to ease ECC layout definition ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout struct which embeds oobfree and eccpos arrays with predefined size. This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively small OOB regions, but MLC and TLC now provide OOB regions of several hundreds of bytes, which implies a non negligible overhead for everybody even those who only need to support legacy NANDs. Create an mtd_ooblayout_ops interface providing the same functionality (expose the ECC and oobfree layout) without the need for this huge structure. The mtd->ecclayout is now deprecated and should be replaced by the equivalent mtd_ooblayout_ops. In the meantime we provide a wrapper around the ->ecclayout field to ease migration to this new model.

fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support 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.

mtd: add a new ecc_step_size field to mtd_info{} In order to implement the NAND boot for some Freescale's chips, such as imx23/imx28/imx50/imx6, we use a tool (called kobs-ng) to burn the uboot and some metadata to nand chip. And the ROM code will use the metadata to configrate the BCH, and to find the uboot. The ECC information(ecc step size, ecc strength) which is used to configrure the BCH is part of the metadata. The kobs-ng can get the ecc strength from the sys node /sys/*/ecc_strength now. But it can not get the ecc step size. This patch adds a new field to store the ecc step size in mtd_info{}, and it makes preparation for the next patches.

mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix: mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob ... The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following: 1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users 2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes less likely that people will use them directly 3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners spot the big API change and amend them.

mtd: fix merge conflict resolution breakage This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge d3712b9dfcf4 ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream"). The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash. E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad eraseblocks handling, and so on. This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to ensure correct Logfs behavior. I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly. This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

mtd: introduce mtd_erase interface This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level, which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly. At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be duplicated at many drivers. This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The following patches add all the other interfaces one by one. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possible The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h> files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

mtd: create function to perform large allocations Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested transfer buffer size falls below the page size. This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly- fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly. Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this, and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good, if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min. I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal GFP_KERNEL flag. Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct This field will be used to indicate the write buffer size of the MTD device. UBI will set it's minimal I/O unit size (min_io_size) to the indicated write buffer size. By this change we intend to fix failed recovery of UBIFS partitions we currently observe on NOR flash when mounting the partition after unclean unmount. Currently the min_io_size is set to mtd->writesize (which is 1 byte for NOR flash). But flash programming is often done from prepared write buffer containing multiple bytes and is performed in one programming operation which could be interrupted by a power cut or a system reset causing corrupted (partially written) areas in a flash sector. Knowing the size of potentially corrupted areas UBIFS scanning and recovery algorithms are able to perform successful recovery. In case of NOR flash minimal I/O size must be equal to the maximal size of the write buffer used by embedded flash programming algorithm. In case of NAND flash mtd->writebufsize should be equivalent to mtd->writesize. The subsequent patches will add mtd->writebufsize initialization where needed.

mtd: edit comments on deprecation of ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT There were some improvements and additions necessary in the comments explaining of the expansion of nand_ecclayout, the introduction of nand_ecclayout_user, and the deprecation of the ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT. Also, I found a better placement for the macro MTD_MAX_ECCPOS_ENTRIES; next to the definition of MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES in mtd-abi.h. The macro is really only important for the ioctl code (found in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c) but since there are small edits being made to the user-space header, I figured this is a better location.

mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest size. Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now. A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be removed altogether in the future. Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe() regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

mtd: nand: make reads using MTD_OOB_RAW affect only ECC validation This changes the behavier of MTD_OOB_RAW. It used to read both OOB and data to the data buffer, however you would still need to specify the dummy oob buffer. This is only used in one place, but makes it hard to read data+oob without ECC test, thus I removed that behavier, and fixed the user. Now MTD_OOB_RAW behaves just like MTD_OOB_PLACE, but doesn't do ECC validation Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

[MTD] driver model updates Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits better into the current udev-based hotplug framework: - Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs. - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes, which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV. - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes; it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd. - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc). - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs. So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

[MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointer MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes. Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to flash. This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

[MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion. 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.

[MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely 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>
