2011-10-31include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker
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.

2011-09-11mtd: support reading OOB without ECCBrian Norris
This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE based on the MTD file mode. For now, most drivers can get away with just setting: chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above, you must supply your own replacement function. This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

2011-09-11mtd: support writing OOB without ECCBrian Norris
This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly), contrary to the `--noecc' option. I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the problems by: 1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting to MTD_OOB_PLACE 2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob' 3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing either with or without ECC This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

Also, this is a BBT-related flag (and closely tied with NAND_BBT_CREATE) so I'm moving it to bbm.h next to NAND_BBT_CREATE, thus requiring that we use the flag in nand_chip.bbt_options, *not* in nand_chip.options.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: consolidate redundant flash-based BBT flagsBrian Norris
This patch works with the following three flags from two headers (nand.h and bbm.h): (1) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (nand.h) (2) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (nand.h) (3) NAND_BBT_NO_OOB (bbm.h) These flags are all related and interdependent, yet they were in different headers. Flag (2) is simply the combination of (1) and (3) and can be eliminated. This patch accomplishes the following: * eliminate NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (i.e., flag (2)) * move NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (i.e., flag (1)) to bbm.h It's important to note that because (1) and (3) are now both found in bbm.h, they should NOT be used in the "nand_chip.options" field. I removed a small section from the mtdnand DocBook because it referes to NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT in nand.h, which has been moved to bbm.h.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: separate chip options / bbt_optionsBrian Norris
This patch handles the problems we've been having with using conflicting flags from nand.h and bbm.h in the same nand_chip.options field. We should try to separate these two spaces a little more clearly, and so I have added a bbt_options field to nand_chip. Important notes about nand_chip fields: * bbt_options field should contain ONLY flags from bbm.h. They should be able to pass safely to a nand_bbt_descr data structure. - BBT option flags start with the "NAND_BBT_" prefix. * options field should contian ONLY flags from nand.h. Ideally, they should not be involved in any BBT related options. - NAND chip option flags start with the "NAND_" prefix. * Every flag should have a nice comment explaining what the flag is. While this is not yet the case on all existing flags, please be sure to write one for new flags. Even better, you can help document the code better yourself! Please try to follow these conventions to make everyone's lives easier. Among the flags that are being moved to the new bbt_options field throughout various drivers, etc. are: * NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE * NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE and there will be more to come.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: remove NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 optionBrian Norris
This patch reverts most of: commit 58373ff0afff4cc8ac40608872995f4d87eb72ec mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan options According to the discussion at: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-May/035696.html the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag, although technically valid, can break some existing ECC layouts that use the 6th byte in the OOB for ECC data. Furthermore, we apparently do not need to scan both bytes 1 and 6 in the OOB region of the devices under consideration; instead, we only need to scan one or the other. Thus, the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag is at best unnecessary and at worst a regression.

2011-05-25mtd: create function to perform large allocationsGrant Erickson
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.

2011-05-20ARM: 6910/1: MTD: physmap: let set_vpp() pass a platform_device instead of a ↵Marc Zyngier
map_info The set_vpp() method provided by physmap passes a map_info back to the platform code, which has little relevance as far as the platform is concerned (this parameter is completely unused). Instead, pass the platform_device, which can be used in the pismo driver to retrieve some important information in a nicer way, instead of the hack that was in place. The empty set_vpp function in board-at572d940hf_ek.c is left untouched, as the board/SoC is scheduled for removal.

2011-05-20ARM: 6904/1: MTD: Add integrator-flash feature to physmapMarc Zyngier
In the process of moving platforms away from integrator-flash (aka armflash), add to physmap the few features that make armflash unique: - optionnal probing for the AFS partition type - init() and exit() methods, used by Integrator to control write access to the various onboard programmable components Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Acked-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
