In register_mtd_blktrans(), the symbol 'ret' is already declared as an int at the start of the function. The inner loop declaration is unnecessary.

During the probe for physmap platform flash devices there are a number error exit conditions that all do a goto err_out which then calls physmap_flash_remove(). In that function one of the cleanup steps is: #ifdef CONFIG_MTD_CONCAT if (info->cmtd != info->mtd[0]) mtd_concat_destroy(info->cmtd); #endif This test will succeed since info->cmtd == NULL and info->mtd[0] is valid. Fix this by exiting the remove function when info->cmtd == NULL. Also, cleanup the #ifdef CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS stuff by using mtd_has_partitions().

This driver seems to be obsolete and broken for a long time. It depends on CONFIG_IPAQ_HANDHELD that simply doesn't exists anywhere in kernel. Also, it seems that none of machines it claims to support have any use of it: SA11xx-based iPAQs (h3100/h3600) use sa1100-flash iPAQ h5000 uses physmap-flash Jornada 720 uses sa1100-flash Jornada 560 and iPAQ h1910 are not in mainline Signed-off-by: Dmitry Artamonow <mad_soft@inbox.ru> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Fix a potential memory leak in mtd_dataflash driver. The private data that is allocated when registering a DataFlash device with the MTD subsystem is not released if an error occurs when add_mtd_partitions() or add_mtd_device() is called. Fix this by adding an error path. The memory is already released during a remove. Also, add a dev_set_drvdata(&spi->dev, NULL) before the kfree() so that the spi device does not reference invalid data.

nand.h, onenand.h and flashchip.h defined enumeration types for chip status using the same symbolic names. This prevented a board file to include more than one of them. In particular, no nand and onenand platform devices could live in the same file. This patch augments flashchip.h with a few status values in order to cover all cases, so nand.h and onenand.h can use flstate_t without declaring their own status enum.

For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter, while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it later to signed long again. This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g. dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate". The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign extension for the length parameter. In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here. So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long. Cc: "H.
