<content type='text'>
commit 8558e4a26b00225efeb085725bc319f91201b239 upstream.

This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users.  The mtdchar
case is actually disabled right now (and stays disabled), but I did it
because it showed up on my "git grep", and I was familiar with the code
due to fixing an overflow problem in the code in commit 9c603e53d380
("mtdchar: fix offset overflow detection").

commit f5cf8f07423b2677cebebcebc863af77223a4972 upstream.

This code was broken because it assumed that all MTD devices were map-based.
Disable it for now, until it can be fixed properly for the next merge window.

commit 9c603e53d380459fb62fec7cd085acb0b74ac18f upstream.

Sasha Levin has been running trinity in a KVM tools guest, and was able
to trigger the BUG_ON() at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:279 (verifying the range of
the memory type).  The call trace showed that it was mtdchar_mmap() that
created an invalid remap_pfn_range().

The problem is that mtdchar_mmap() does various really odd and subtle
things with the vma page offset etc, and uses the wrong types (and the
wrong overflow) detection for it.

For example, the page offset may well be 32-bit on a 32-bit
architecture, but after shifting it up by PAGE_SHIFT, we need to use a
potentially 64-bit resource_size_t to correctly hold the full value.

Also, we need to check that the vma length plus offset doesn't overflow
before we check that it is smaller than the length of the mtdmap region.

This fixes things up and tries to make the code a bit easier to read.

<title>mtd: fix oops in dataflash driver</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7a84477c4acebf6299b6a8bd6a1d5894eb838ffa</id>
<content type='text'>
I'm seeing an oops in mtd_dataflash.c with Linux 3.3. What appears to
be happening is that otp_select_filemode calls mtd_read_fact_prot_reg
with -1 for offset and length and a NULL buffer to test if OTP
operations are supported. This finds its way down to otp_read in
mtd_dataflash.c and causes an oops when memcpying the returned data
into the NULL buf.

None of the checks in otp_read catches the negative length and offset.
Changing the length of the dummy read to 0 prevents the oops.

  chunks) + assorted bits and pieces.

  The 'untangling of do_lookup()' series is is a splitup of what used to
  be a monolithic patch from Miklos, so this series is basically "how do
  I convince myself that his patch is correct (or find a hole in it)".
  No holes found and I like the resulting cleanup, so in it went..."

prettied up a bit.

Pull MTD changes from David Woodhouse:
 - Artem's cleanup of the MTD API continues apace.
 - Fixes and improvements for ST FSMC and SuperH FLCTL NAND, amongst
   others.
 - More work on DiskOnChip G3, new driver for DiskOnChip G4.
 - Clean up debug/warning printks in JFFS2 to use pr_&lt;level&gt;.

Fix up various trivial conflicts, largely due to changes in calling
conventions for things like dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() (new inline
wrapper to hide new parameter, clashing with rewrite of previously last
parameter that used to be an 'append' flag, and is now a bitmap of
'unsigned long flags').

(Also some header file fallout - like so many merges this merge window -
and silly conflicts with sparse fixes)

<title>mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions</title>

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd-&gt;erase -&gt; mtd-&gt;_erase
mtd-&gt;read_oob -&gt; mtd-&gt;_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.
