mtd: Convert to dynamically allocated bdi infrastructure

2017-04-20T18:09:55Z

MTD already allocates backing_dev_info dynamically. Convert it to use generic infrastructure for this including proper refcounting. We drop mtd->backing_dev_info as its only use was to pass mtd_bdi pointer from one file into another and if we wanted to keep that in a clean way, we'd have to make mtd hold and drop bdi reference as needed which seems pointless for passing one global pointer...

mtd: introduce function max_bad_blocks

mtd: introduce the mtd_pairing_scheme concept

2016-09-15T14:47:56Z

MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit, but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage usage. The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD users the pairing scheme information. The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit pointed by pairing information). It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Reviewed-by: Brian Norris

mtd: kill the nand_ecclayout struct

2016-05-05T21:51:51Z

Now that all MTD drivers have moved to the mtd_ooblayout_ops model we can safely remove the struct nand_ecclayout definition, and all the remaining places where it was still used. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: create an mtd_ooblayout_ops struct to ease ECC layout definition

2016-04-19T20:05:55Z

ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout struct which embeds oobfree and eccpos arrays with predefined size. This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively small OOB regions, but MLC and TLC now provide OOB regions of several hundreds of bytes, which implies a non negligible overhead for everybody even those who only need to support legacy NANDs. Create an mtd_ooblayout_ops interface providing the same functionality (expose the ECC and oobfree layout) without the need for this huge structure. The mtd->ecclayout is now deprecated and should be replaced by the equivalent mtd_ooblayout_ops. In the meantime we provide a wrapper around the ->ecclayout field to ease migration to this new model.

mtd: add mtd_set_ecclayout() helper function

2016-04-19T20:05:53Z

Add an mtd_set_ecclayout() helper function to avoid direct accesses to the mtd->ecclayout field. This will ease future reworks of ECC layout definition. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: add mtd_ooblayout_xxx() helper functions

2016-04-19T20:05:47Z

In order to make the ecclayout definition completely dynamic we need to rework the way the OOB layout are defined and iterated. Create a few mtd_ooblayout_xxx() helpers to ease OOB bytes manipulation and hide ecclayout internals to their users. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon
