Boris Brezillon 24ff129222 mtd: Fallback to ->_read/write_oob() when ->_read/write() is missing
Some MTD sublayers/drivers are implementing ->_read/write_oob() and
provide dummy wrappers for their ->_read/write() implementations.
Let the core handle this case instead of duplicating the logic.

Boris Brezillon d020fc8e50 mtd: mtdpart: Make ECC stat handling consistent
part_read() and part_read_oob() were counting ECC failures and
bitflips differently. Adjust part_read_oob() to mimic what is done in
part_read(). This is needed to use ->_read_oob() as a fallback when
when ->_read() is not implemented.

Note that bitflips and ECC failure accounting on MTD partitions is
broken by design, because nothing prevents concurrent accesses to the
underlying master MTD device between the moment we save the stats in a
local variable and the moment master->_read[_oob]() returns. It's not
something that can easily be fixed, so leave it like that for now.

Boris Brezillon 7e439681af mtd: Fix partition alignment check on multi-erasesize devices
Commit 1eeef2d748 ("mtd: handle partitioning on devices with 0
erasesize") introduced a regression on heterogeneous erase region
devices. Alignment of the partition was tested against the master
eraseblock size which can be bigger than the slave one, thus leading
to some partitions being marked as read-only.

Update wr_alignment to match this slave erasesize after this erasesize
has been determined by picking the biggest erasesize of all the regions
embedded in the MTD partition.

Rafał Miłecki 1a0915be19 mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsers
Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra
subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To
support such cases we need to first create normal flash device
partitions and then take care of these special ones.

It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there
are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used
to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file.

Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format
like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still
countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific
formats.

This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers
that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats
is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to
minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for
these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function.

This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash
parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we
will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart
("fixed-partitions").

Rafał Miłecki 0a9d72b69d mtd: partitions: rename "master" to the "parent" where appropriate
This prepares mtd subsystem for the new feature: subpartitions. In some
cases flash device partition can be a container with extra subpartitions
(volumes).

So far there was a flat structure implemented. One master (flash device)
could be partitioned into few partitions. Every partition got its master
and it was enough to get things running.

To support subpartitions we need to store pointer to the parent for each
partition. This is required to implement more natural tree structure and
handle all recursion and offsets calculation.

To make code consistent this patch renamed "master" to the "parent" in
places where we can be dealing with subpartitions.

Boris Brezillon 477b0229ac mtd: introduce the mtd_pairing_scheme concept
MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit,
but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND
page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is
called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage
usage.
The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page
program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming
but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD
users the pairing scheme information.

The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a
given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit
pointed by pairing information).
It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute
offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups.

Boris Brezillon adbbc3bc82 mtd: create an mtd_ooblayout_ops struct to ease ECC layout definition
ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout
struct which embeds oobfree and eccpos arrays with predefined size.
This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively
small OOB regions, but MLC and TLC now provide OOB regions of several
hundreds of bytes, which implies a non negligible overhead for everybody
even those who only need to support legacy NANDs.

Create an mtd_ooblayout_ops interface providing the same functionality
(expose the ECC and oobfree layout) without the need for this huge
structure.

The mtd->ecclayout is now deprecated and should be replaced by the
equivalent mtd_ooblayout_ops. In the meantime we provide a wrapper around
the ->ecclayout field to ease migration to this new model.

Brian Norris adc83bf889 mtd: partitions: support a cleanup callback for parsers
If partition parsers need to clean up their resources, we shouldn't
assume that all memory will fit in a single kmalloc() that the caller
can kfree(). We should allow the parser to provide a proper cleanup
routine.

Note that this means we need to keep a hold on the parser's module for a
bit longer, and release it later with mtd_part_parser_put().

Alongside this, define a default callback that we'll automatically use
if the parser doesn't provide one, so we can still retain the old
behavior.

Brian Norris 5a2415b076 mtd: mtdpart: Do not fail mtd probe when parsing partitions fails
Due to wrong assumption in ofpart ofpart fails on Exynos on SPI chips
with no partitions because the subnode containing controller data
confuses the ofpart parser.

Thus compiling in ofpart support automatically fails probing any SPI NOR
flash without partitions on Exynos.

Compiling in a partitioning scheme should not cause probe of otherwise
valid device to fail.

Instead, let's do the following:
 * try parsers until one succeeds
 * if no parser succeeds, report the first error we saw
 * even in the failure case, allow MTD to probe, with fallback
   partitions or no partitions at all -- the master device will still be

For example, this allows querying the entire device's properties.
A common idiom is to create an additional partition which spans

This patch makes a config option, CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER,
which makes the master partition present even when the device is
partitioned. This isn't turned on by default since it presents
a backwards-incompatible device numbering.

Artem Bityutskiy 26a4734623 mtd: add 'const' qualifier to a couple of register functions
'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.

At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.

Huang Shijie c51803ddba mtd: mtdpart: break it as soon as we parse out the partitions
We may cause a memory leak when the @types has more then one parser.

Take the `default_mtd_part_types` for example. The default_mtd_part_types has
two parsers now: `cmdlinepart` and `ofpart`.

Assume the following case:
The kernel command line sets the partitions like:
	#gpmi-nand:20m(boot),20m(kernel),1g(rootfs),-(user)
But the devicetree file(such as arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-evk.dts) also sets
the same partitions as the kernel command line does.

In the current code, the partitions parsed out by the `ofpart` will
overwrite the @pparts which has already set by the `cmdlinepart` parser,
and the the partitions parsed out by the `cmdlinepart` is missed.
A memory leak occurs.

So we should break the code as soon as we parse out the partitions,
In actually, this patch makes a priority order between the parsers.
If one parser has already parsed out the partitions successfully,
it's no need to use another parser anymore.

'mtd_get_device_size()' returns the size of the whole MTD device, that is the
mtd_info master size. This will be used by UBI to calculate the maximum number
of bad blocks (MBB) on a MTD device.

Mike Dunn edbc4540e0 mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN
The drivers' _read() method, absent an error, returns a non-negative integer
indicating the maximum number of bit errors that were corrected in any one
region comprising an ecc step.  MTD returns -EUCLEAN if this is >=
bitflip_threshold, 0 otherwise.  If bitflip_threshold is zero, the comparison is
not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error
case (thanks Brian)¹.  Note that this is a subtle change to the driver
interface.

This and the preceding patches in this set were tested with ubi on top of the
nandsim and docg4 devices, running the ubi test io_basic from mtd-utils.
