mtd: Remove a debug trace in mtdpart.c

2019-12-05T14:35:18Z

[ Upstream commit bda2ab56356b9acdfab150f31c4bac9846253092 ] Commit 2b6f0090a333 ("mtd: Check add_mtd_device() ret code") contained a leftover of the debug session that led to this bug fix. Remove this pr_info(). Fixes: 2b6f0090a333 ("mtd: Check add_mtd_device() ret code") Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

mtd: Check add_mtd_device() ret code

2019-12-05T14:35:06Z

[ Upstream commit 2b6f0090a3335b7bdd03ca520c35591159463041 ] add_mtd_device() can fail. We should always check its return value and gracefully handle the failure case. Fix the call sites where this not done (in mtdpart.c) and add a __must_check attribute to the prototype to avoid this kind of mistakes. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

treewide: remove redundant #include

2016-10-11T22:06:33Z

Kernel source files need not include explicitly because the top Makefile forces to include it with: -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h This commit removes explicit includes except the following: * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h These two are used for host programs.

Introduction of the MTD pairing scheme concept.

mtdpart: Propagate _get/put_device()

2016-09-28T20:00:45Z

If the master device has callbacks for _get/put_device() and this MTD has slaves a get_mtd_device() call on paritions will never issue the registered callbacks. Fix this by propagating _get/put_device() down. Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: introduce the mtd_pairing_scheme concept

2016-09-15T14:47:56Z

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. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Reviewed-by: Brian Norris

mtd: create an mtd_ooblayout_ops struct to ease ECC layout definition

2016-04-19T20:05:55Z

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.

mtd: use mtd_set_ecclayout() where appropriate

2016-04-19T20:05:53Z

Use the mtd_set_ecclayout() helper instead of directly assigning the mtd->ecclayout field. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: create an mtd_oobavail() helper and make use of it

2016-03-08T00:23:09Z

Currently, all MTD drivers/sublayers exposing an OOB area are doing the same kind of test to extract the available OOB size based on the mtd_info and mtd_oob_ops structures. Move this common logic into an inline function and make use of it. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Suggested-by: Priit Laes Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: partitions: support a cleanup callback for parsers

2015-12-09T22:57:44Z

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.
