Return -EUCLEAN on read when a bitflip was detected and corrected, so the

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!

This allows us to drop another pointer from the struct jffs2_raw_node_ref,

As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.
Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

The writev based write buffer implementation was far to complex as
in most use cases the write buffer had to be handled anyway.
Simplify the write buffer handling and use mtd->write instead.
From extensive testing no performance impact has been noted.

We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's
_always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size
so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that.

o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be
cleared.
o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for
STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC. Those flashes
disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the
new flag models their behaviour better.
o Remove MTD_ECC. After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set
and never checked.

In 2002, STMicro started producing NOR flashes with internal ECC protection
for small blocks (8 or 16 bytes). Support for those flashes was added by me.
In 2005, Intel Sibley flashes copied this strategy and Nico added support for
those. Merge the code for both.

At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit,
similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename
the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND.

We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and
jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite
them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the
structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the
jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

In a couple of places, we assume that what's at the end of the

Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing
it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead.
This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with
xattr_datum and xattr_ref structures -- we should find a nicer way of
dealing with that.

When filing REF_OBSOLETE nodes, we'd add their size to the global
'dirty_size' count, but then to the eraseblock's 'used_size' count.
That's not clever.

Well, almost. We'll actually keep a 'TEST_TOTLEN' macro set for now, and keep
doing some paranoia checks to make sure it's all working correctly. But if
TEST_TOTLEN is unset, the size of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref drops from 16
bytes to 12 on 32-bit machines. That's a saving of about half a megabyte of
memory on the OLPC prototype board, with 125K or so nodes in its 512MiB of
flash.

We can't use jffs2_scan_dirty_space() because it doesn't do any locking; it's
only for use at scan time -- hence the 'scan' in the name.
Also, don't allocate refs while we have c->erase_completion_lock held.

The incoming ref_totlen() calculation is going to rely on the existence

For RWCOMPAT and ROCOMPAT nodes, we should still allow the mount to

If we had to allocate extra space for the summary node, we weren't
correctly freeing it when jffs2_sum_scan_sumnode() returned nonzero --
which is both the success and the failure case. Only when it returned
zero, which means fall through to the full scan, were we correctly freeing
the buffer.
Document the meaning of those return codes while we're at it.

We should preserve these when we come to garbage collect them, not let
them get erased. Use jffs2_garbage_collect_pristine() for this, and make
sure the summary code copes -- just refrain from writing a summary for any
block which contains a node we don't understand.

We were calling ref_totlen() 18 times. Even before that becomes a real
function rather than just a dereference, apparently some compilers still
suck anyway. It'll _certainly_ suck after ref_totlen() becomes more
complicated, so calculate it once and don't rely on CSE.

This improves the time to mount 512MiB of NAND flash on my OLPC prototype
by about 4%. We used to read the last page of the eraseblock twice -- once
to find the offset of the summary node, and again to actually _read_ the
summary node. Now we read the last page only once, and read more only if
we need to.
We also don't allocate a new buffer just for the summary code -- we use
the buffer which was already allocated for the scan. Better still, if the
'buffer' for the scan is actually just a pointer directly into NOR flash,
we use that too, avoiding the memcpy() which we used to do.
