This patch adds a simple BCH ecc computation api, similar to the existing Hamming ecc api. It is intended to be used by the MTD layer. It implements the following features: - support 4-bit and 8-bit ecc computation - do not protect user bytes in spare area, only data area is protected - ecc for an erased NAND page (0xFFs) is also a sequence of 0xFFs This last feature is obtained by adding a constant polynomial to the hardware computed ecc. It allows to correct bitflips in blank pages and is extremely useful to support filesystems such as UBIFS, which expect erased pages to contain only 0xFFs. This api has been tested on an OMAP3630 board. Artem: The OMAP maintainer Tony Lindgren gave us his blessing for merging this patch via the MTD tree.

Apparently, there is an implementor of 'read_oob' which may return an error inidication (e.g. docg4_read_oob may return -EIO). Test the return value of 'read_oob/read_oob_raw', and if negative, propagate the error, so it's returned by the '_read_oob' interface.

As of [mtd: nand: remove autoincrement 'sndcmd' code], the NAND_CMD_READ0 command is issued unconditionally. Thus, read_oob/read_oob_raw's 'sndcmd' argument is no longer needed, as well as their return code. Remove the 'sndcmd' parameter, and set the return code to 0.

Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer periodically. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from '->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt' flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

We do not need to call 'jffs2_write_super()' on sync. This function causes a GC pass to make sure the current contents is pushed out with the data which we already have on the media. But this is not needed on unmount and only slows sync down unnecessarily. It is enough to just sync the write-buffer. This call was added by one of the generic VFS rework patch-sets, see d579ed00.

We now have an interface for notifying the nand_ecc_ctrl functions when OOB data must be returned to the upper layers and when it may be left untouched. This patch fills in the 'oob_required' parameter properly from nand_do_{read,write}_ops. When utilized properly in the lower layers, this parameter can improve performance and/or reduce complexity for NAND HW and SW that can simply avoid transferring the OOB data.

Brian Norris authored
New NAND controllers can perform read/write via HW engines which don't expose OOB data in their DMA mode. To reflect this, we should rework the nand_chip / nand_ecc_ctrl interfaces that assume that drivers will always read/write OOB data in the nand_chip.oob_poi buffer. A better interface includes a boolean argument that explicitly tells the callee when OOB data is requested by the calling layer (for reading/writing to/from nand_chip.oob_poi). This patch adds the 'oob_required' parameter to each relevant {read,write}_page interface; all 'oob_required' parameters are left unused for now. The next patch will set the parameter properly in the nand_base.c callers, and follow-up patches will make use of 'oob_required' in some of the callee functions. Note that currently, there is no harm in ignoring the 'oob_required' parameter and *always* utilizing nand_chip.oob_poi, but there can be performance/complexity/design benefits from avoiding filling oob_poi in the common case. I will try to implement this for some drivers which can be ported easily. Note: I couldn't compile-test all of these easily, as some had ARCH dependencies.

Lantiq SoCs have a External Bus Unit (EBU) that is used to attach MTD media. As we need to co-exist with PCI on the same bus, certain swapping settings must be applied. Similar to the NOR map driver we need to apply a fix to make NAND work. The easiest way is to use byte reads.

The NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option is always set, so we will kill the option and make "no autoincrement" the default behavior for nand_base.c. Thus, we should remove the code which decides whether or not to send the NAND_CMD_READ0 command. Instead, we unconditionally send the command.

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. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-March/040468.htmlSigned-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Acked-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Acked-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Ivan Djelic <ivan.djelic@parrot.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

An element 'bitflip_threshold' is added to struct mtd_info, and also exposed as a read/write variable in sysfs. This will be used to determine whether or not mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN or 0 (absent a hard error). If the driver leaves it as zero, mtd will set it to a default value of ecc_strength. This v2 adds the line that propagates bitflip_threshold from the master to the partitions - thanks Ivan¹. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-April/040900.htmlSigned-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

ecc_strength element of mtd_info will be the strength of one ecc step, not of the entire writesize, as was previously planned. This is the appropriate way because, as was pointed out¹, bit errors in excess of the strength of one step can cause a hard error if they all occur within the same ecc region. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-March/040313.htmlSigned-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

`csize' is read from disk and thus needs validation. Otherwise a bogus value 0xffffffff would turn the subsequent kmalloc(csize + 1, ...) into kmalloc(0, ...), leading to out-of-bounds write. This patch limits `csize' to JFFS2_MAX_NAME_LEN, which is also used in jffs2_symlink(). Artem: we actually validate csize by checking CRC, so this 0xFFs cannot come from empty flash region. But I guess an attacker could feed JFFS2 an image with random csize value, including 0xFFs.
