  • cc26c3cd3   mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 59018b6d2   MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywords ... Browse Code »

    Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

    This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
    keywords from the MTD code.

    This also includes code that printed them to the user.

  • 5bd34c091   [MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayout ... Browse Code »

    The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
    demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
    all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
    compability reasons.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
