rslib: Split rs control struct

2018-04-25T02:50:08+00:00

The decoder library uses variable length arrays on stack. To get rid of them it would be simple to allocate fixed length arrays on stack, but those might become rather large. The other solution is to allocate the buffers in the rs control structure, but this cannot be done as long as the structure can be shared by several users. Sharing is desired because the RS polynom tables are large and initialization is time consuming. To solve this split the codec information out of the control structure and have a pointer to a shared codec in it. Instantiate the control structure for each user, create a new codec if no shareable is avaiable yet. Adjust all affected usage sites to the new scheme. This allows to add per instance decoder buffers to the control structure later on.

rslib: Add SPDX identifiers

The Reed-Solomon library is based on code from Phil Karn who granted permission to import it into the kernel under the GPL V2. See commit 15b5423757a7 ("Shared Reed-Solomon ECC library") in the history git tree at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git ... The encoder/decoder code is lifted from the GPL'd userspace RS-library written by Phil Karn. I modified/wrapped it to provide the different functions which we need in the MTD/NAND code. ...

[LIB] reed_solomon: Clean up trailing white spaces

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
