mtd: adapt misleading comment in mtd_oob_ops structure

2018-07-19T21:12:09+00:00

A comment in the kernel doc of the mtd_oob_ops structure tells that it is not possible to write more than one page with OOB. This is actually true for only a few MTD devices like 'onenand' but it is definitely not a general limitation. While this would benefit to be handled elsewhere either by the MTD layer or by the limited drivers, let's update this comment to reflect the reality.

mtd: Stop updating erase_info->state and calling mtd_erase_callback()

2018-03-21T08:50:56+00:00

MTD users are no longer checking erase_info->state to determine if the erase operation failed or succeeded. Moreover, mtd_erase_callback() is now a NOP. We can safely get rid of all mtd_erase_callback() calls and all erase_info->state assignments. While at it, get rid of the erase_info->state field, all MTD_ERASE_XXX definitions and the mtd_erase_callback() function.

mtd: Unconditionally update ->fail_addr and ->addr in part_erase()

2018-03-15T17:22:26+00:00

->fail_addr and ->addr can be updated no matter the result of parent->_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice. Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to not pass an erase_info->callback() and are thus only taking the ->addr_fail and ->addr fields into account after part_erase() has returned. While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info->mtd field which was only needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

mtd: Stop assuming mtd_erase() is asynchronous

2018-03-15T17:21:07+00:00

None of the mtd->_erase() implementations work in an asynchronous manner, so let's simplify MTD users that call mtd_erase(). All they need to do is check the value returned by mtd_erase() and assume that != 0 means failure. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Reviewed-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd: Get rid of unused fields in struct erase_info

2018-03-15T16:25:06+00:00

Some fields are not used by MTD drivers, users or core code. Moreover, those fields are not documented, so get rid of them to avoid any confusion. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Reviewed-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd: Add an helper to make erase request aligned on ->erasesize

2018-01-06T14:09:54+00:00

There's currently nothing forcing alignment of einfo->addr and einfo->len on mtd->erasesize. Since we don't know if automatically aligning those field in mtd_erase() will hurt some drivers, we add an helper function to let drivers that need such an alignment explicitly ask for it.

mtd: create per-device and module-scope debugfs entries

2017-07-21T20:25:29+00:00

Several MTD devices are using debugfs entries created in the root. This commit provides the means for a standardized subtree, creating one "mtd" entry at root, and one entry per device inside it, named after the device. The tree is registered in add_mtd_device, and released in del_mtd_device. Devices docg3, mtdswap and nandsim were updated to use this subtree instead of custom ones, and their entries were prefixed with the drivers' names. Signed-off-by: Mario J.
