Brian Norris 0612b9ddc2 mtd: rename MTD_OOB_* to MTD_OPS_*
These modes are not necessarily for OOB only. Particularly, MTD_OOB_RAW
affected operations on in-band page data as well. To clarify these
options and to emphasize that their effect is applied per-operation, we
change the primary prefix to MTD_OPS_.

Artem Bityutskiy 7c802fbd54 mtd: be silent when mtd partition parser cannot be found
Currently when we register partitions in 'parse_mtd_partitions()' we accept the
list of parsers we should try. And if one of the parsers was not found we print
a message. Well, first of all this whole idea is bad - look at how many
'part_probes' and 'part_probe_types' variables we have - nearly every driver
defines one. Instead, we should just go through all registered parsers all the
time. But this needs to be worked on separately.

This patch makes life of MTD partitions' users a bit simpler and allows them to
safely request parsers which have not been registered -
'parse_mtd_partitions()' will not print a "not available" message in this
case.

The point is that drivers do not have to do things like this any longer:

static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot",
                                         "afs",
                                         NULL };

but can simply do like this:

static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL };

Artem Bityutskiy 154bf89f5e mtd: mtdpart: disallow reading OOB past the end of the partition
This patch fixes the mtdpart bug which allows users reading OOB past the
end of the partition. This happens because 'part_read_oob()' allows reading
multiple OOB areas in one go, and mtdparts does not validate the OOB
length in the request.

Although there is such check in 'nand_do_read_oob()' in nand_base.c, but
it checks that we do not read past the flash chip, not the partition,
because in nand_base.c we work with the whole chip (e.g., mtd->size
in nand_base.c is the size of the whole chip). So this check cannot
be done correctly in nand_base.c and should be instead done in mtdparts.c.

This problem was reported by Jason Liu <r64343@freescale.com> and reproduced
with nandsim:

$ modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xaa third_id_byte=0x00 \
                   fourth_id_byte=0x15 parts=0x400,0x400
$ modprobe nandsim mtd_oobtest.ko dev=0
$ dmesg
= snip =
mtd_oobtest: attempting to read past end of device
mtd_oobtest: an error is expected...
mtd_oobtest: error: read past end of device
= snip =

David Brownell 1f24b5a8ec [MTD] driver model updates
Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:

 - Each mtd_info now has a device node.  MTD drivers should set
   the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
   setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.

 - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
   which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.

 - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
   it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.

 - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
   /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).

 - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro.  It'll work with
   udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.

So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

Adrian Hunter 69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

Richard Purdie 388bbb09b9 [MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointer
MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver
allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight
recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes.

Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel
continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel
oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will
not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be
called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to
flash.

This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can
optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is
only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic
and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be
running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to
ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

Vitaly Wool 7014568bad [MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.
As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem 
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. 

The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len 
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data 
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to 
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it 
serves to specify the full OOB read length.

The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous 
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken 
into account.

Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

Thomas Gleixner f1a28c0284 [MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspace
The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

Thomas Gleixner 8593fbc68b [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely
Hopefully the last iteration on this!

The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.

The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.

read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:

- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)

struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.

Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:

MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.

MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.

The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.

Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario

Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.

Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

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!
