mtd: rawnand: Stop using nand_release()

2020-05-31T08:53:40+00:00

This helper is not very useful and very often people get confused: they use nand_release() instead of nand_cleanup(). Now that all drivers have been converted to do not use nand_release() anymore, let's remove this helper.

mtd: nand: Get rid of comments giving the file path inside the file itself

2018-02-16T09:08:27+00:00

Some files add a comment giving the path of the file inside the Linux tree, which is pretty useless since the reader had to find the file to open it. Getting rid of these comments will also allow us to easily move these files around when needed. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: onenand: make onenand_scan_bbt() static

2016-01-23T22:00:16+00:00

Like was done in commit 17799359e7b3fa6ef4f2bf926cd6821cf7903ecf ("mtd: nand_bbt: make nand_scan_bbt() static") for the NAND code, this commit makes the onenand_scan_bbt() function static in the OneNAND code, since it is only used in onenand_bbt.c itself. Consequently, the EXPORT_SYMBOL() and declaration in bbm.h are also removed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: remove NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY

2013-08-30T15:48:37+00:00

NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY is a strange, badly-supported option with omap as its single remaining user. NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY was likely used by accident in omap2[1]. And anyway, omap2 doesn't scan the chip for bad blocks (courtesy of NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN), and so its use of this option is irrelevant. This patch drops the NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY option.

mtd: nand: write BBM to OOB even with flash-based BBT

2012-03-26T23:27:02+00:00

Currently, the flash-based BBT implementation writes bad block data only to its flash-based table and not to the OOB marker area. Then, as new bad blocks are marked over time, the OOB markers become incomplete and the flash-based table becomes the only source of current bad block information. This becomes an obvious problem when, for example: * bootloader cannot read the flash-based BBT format * BBT is corrupted and the flash must be rescanned for bad blocks; we want to remember bad blocks that were marked from Linux So to keep the bad block markers in sync with the flash-based BBT, this patch changes the default so that we write bad block markers to the proper OOB area on each block in addition to flash-based BBT. Comments are updated, expanded, and/or relocated as necessary. The new flash-based BBT procedure for marking bad blocks: (1) erase the affected block, to allow OOB marker to be written cleanly (2) update in-memory BBT (3) write bad block marker to OOB area of affected block (4) update flash-based BBT Note that we retain the first error encountered in (3) or (4), finish the procedures, and dump the error in the end. This should handle power cuts gracefully enough. (1) and (2) are mostly harmless (note that (1) will not erase an already-recognized bad block). The OOB and BBT may be "out of sync" if we experience power loss bewteen (3) and (4), but we can reasonably expect that on next boot, subsequent I/O operations will discover that the block should be marked bad again, thus re-syncing the OOB and BBT. Note that this is a change from the previous default flash-based BBT behavior. If your system cannot support writing bad block markers to OOB, use the new NAND_BBT_NO_OOB_BBM option (in combination with NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH and NAND_BBT_NO_OOB).
