mtd: rawnand: qcom: fix memory corruption that causes panic
This patch fixes a memory corruption that occurred in the qcom-nandc driver since it was converted to nand_scan(). On boot, an affected device will panic from a NPE at a weird place: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0 | pgd = (ptrval) | [00000000] *pgd=00000000 | Internal error: Oops: 80000005 [#1] SMP ARM | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.19.9 #0 | Hardware name: Generic DT based system | PC is at (null) | LR is at nand_block_isbad+0x90/0xa4 | pc : [<00000000>] lr : [<c0592240>] psr: 80000013 | sp : cf839d40 ip : 00000000 fp : cfae9e20 | r10: cf815810 r9 : 00000000 r8 : 00000000 | r7 : 00000000 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 00000001 r4 : cf815810 | r3 : 00000000 r2 : cfae9810 r1 : ffffffff r0 : cf815810 | Flags: Nzcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none | Control: 10c5387d Table: 8020406a DAC: 00000051 | Process swapper/0 (pid: 1, stack limit = 0x(ptrval)) | [<c0592240>] (nand_block_isbad) from [<c0580a94>] | [<c0580a94>] (allocate_partition) from [<c05811e4>] | [<c05811e4>] (add_mtd_partitions) from [<c0581164>] | [<c0581164>] (parse_mtd_partitions) from [<c057def4>] | [<c057def4>] (mtd_device_parse_register) from [<c059d274>] | [<c059d274>] (qcom_nandc_probe) from [<c0567f00>] The problem is that the nand_scan()'s qcom_nand_attach_chip callback is updating the nandc->max_cwperpage from 1 to 4. This causes the sg_init_table of clear_bam_transaction() in the driver's qcom_nandc_block_bad() to memset much more than what was initially allocated by alloc_bam_transaction(). This patch restores the old behavior by reallocating the shared bam transaction alloc_bam_transaction() after the chip was identified, but before mtd_device_parse_register() (which is an alias for mtd_device_register() - see panic) gets called. This fixes the corruption and the driver is working again.
