mtd: nand_bbt: kill NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES

2013-11-07T07:33:14+00:00

Now that the last user of NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES has been removed, let's kill this peculiar BBT feature flag. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Reviewed-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: map: fixed bug in 64-bit systems

2013-11-07T07:32:59+00:00

Hardware: CPU: XLP832,the 64-bit OS NOR Flash:S29GL128S 128M Software: Kernel:2.6.32.41 Filesystem:JFFS2 When writing files, errors appear: Write len 182 but return retlen 180 Write of 182 bytes at 0x072c815c failed. returned -5, retlen 180 Write len 186 but return retlen 184 Write of 186 bytes at 0x072caff4 failed. returned -5, retlen 184 These errors exist only in 64-bit systems,not in 32-bit systems. After analysis, we found that the left shift operation is wrong in map_word_load_partial. For instance: unsigned char buf[3] ={0x9e,0x3a,0xea}; map_bankwidth(map) is 4; for (i=0; i < 3; i++) { int bitpos; bitpos = (map_bankwidth(map)-1-i)*8; orig.x[0] &= ~(0xff << bitpos); orig.x[0] |= buf[i] << bitpos; } The value of orig.x[0] is expected to be 0x9e3aeaff, but in this situation(64-bit System) we'll get the wrong value of 0xffffffff9e3aeaff due to the 64-bit sign extension: buf[i] is defined as "unsigned char" and the left-shift operation will convert it to the type of "signed int", so when left-shift buf[i] by 24 bits, the final result will get the wrong value: 0xffffffff9e3aeaff. If the left-shift bits are less than 24, then sign extension will not occur. Whereas the bankwidth of the nor flash we used is 4, therefore this BUG emerges.

mtd: Move major number definitions to major.h

2013-11-07T07:32:59+00:00

This patch moves the char and block major number definitions to major.h to be with the rest of the major numbers. While doing this, include major.h in the files that need it. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: add a helper to detect the nand type

2013-10-27T23:27:06+00:00

This helper detects that whether the mtd's type is nand type. Now, it's clear that the MTD_NANDFLASH stands for SLC nand only. So use the mtd_type_is_nand() to replace the old check method to do the nand type (include the SLC and MLC) check. Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: rename the cellinfo to bits_per_cell

2013-10-27T23:27:04+00:00

The @cellinfo fields contains unused information, such as write caching, internal chip numbering, etc. But we only use it to check the SLC or MLC. This patch tries to make it more clear and simple, renames the @cellinfo to @bits_per_cell. In order to avoiding the bisect issue, this patch also does the following changes: (0) add a macro NAND_CI_CELLTYPE_SHIFT to avoid the hardcode. (1) add a helper to parse out the cell type : nand_get_bits_per_cell() (2) parse out the cell type for extended-ID chips and the full-id nand chips.

mtd: add a new ecc_step_size field to mtd_info{}

2013-08-30T20:37:01+00:00

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 ECC info for nand_flash_dev{}

2013-08-30T20:34:45+00:00

Add an instance of an anonymous struct to store the ECC info for full id nand chips. @ecc.strength_ds: ECC correctability from the datasheet. @ecc.step_ds: ECC size required by the @ecc.strength_ds, These two fields are all from the datasheet. Also add the necessary macros to make the code simple and clean. Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
