  • 69423d99f   [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size ... Browse Code »

    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

  • 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    This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS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.

  • 8593fbc68   [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely ... Browse Code »
    44

    Hopefully the last iteration on this!

    The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
    discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
    problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
    resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
    to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
    functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
    read/write _oob functions in mtd.

    The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
    descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
    least seven arguments.

    read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
    the following tasks:

    - read/write out of band data
    - read/write data content and out of band data
    - read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)

    struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.

    Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
    diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
    the other two modes are for mtd clients:

    MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
    described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
    up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
    placement algorithms.

    MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
    the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
    data structre which is associated to the devicee.

    The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
    setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
    the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
    data routines are invoked.

    Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
    regressions for your particular device / application scenario

    Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
    air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
    the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
    existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
    interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
    easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
    for a real solution.

    Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

  • f4a43cfce   [MTD] Remove silly MTD_WRITE/READ macros ... Browse Code »

    Most of those macros are unused and the used ones just obfuscate
    the code. Remove them and fixup all users.

    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!
