2020-05-11mtd: Add support for emulated SLC mode on MLC NANDsBoris Brezillon
MLC NANDs can be made a bit more reliable if we only program the lower page of each pair. At least, this solves the paired-pages corruption issue.

2020-03-11mtd: implement proper partition handlingMiquel Raynal
Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD device is the root one, not a partition). By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we can get rid of the mtd_part structure. While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we will call them 'parent' and 'child'.

2018-03-27mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the "ofpart" typeRafał Miłecki
In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one supporting "fixed-partitions". It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed to use a more meaningful name. This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse(). It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the "compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one). Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that (e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline argument. Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the mtd/partition.txt. This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

2017-06-22mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsersRafał Miłecki
Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To support such cases we need to first create normal flash device partitions and then take care of these special ones. It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file. Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific formats. This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function. This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart ("fixed-partitions").

2015-12-09mtd: partitions: support a cleanup callback for parsersBrian Norris
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.

2015-11-11mtd: ofpart: grab device tree node directly from master device nodeBrian Norris
It seems more logical to use a device node directly associated with the MTD master device (i.e., mtd->dev.of_node field) rather than requiring auxiliary partition parser information to be passed in by the driver in a separate struct. This patch supports the mtd->dev.of_node field and deprecates the parser data 'of_node' field Driver conversions may now follow. Additional side benefit to assigning mtd->dev.of_node rather than using parser data: the driver core will automatically create a device -> node symlink for us.

2010-10-24mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUTBrian Norris
struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest size. Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now. A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be removed altogether in the future. Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe() regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

2008-12-10[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
