fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

2015-01-20T21:02:58Z

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mtd: implement common reboot notifier boilerplate

2015-01-08T01:54:22Z

cfi_cmdset_000{1,2}.c already implement their own reboot notifiers, and we're going to add one for NAND. Let's put the boilerplate in one place. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Tested-by: Scott Branden

mtd: Introduce mtd_block_isreserved()

2014-07-09T01:38:16Z

In addition to mtd_block_isbad(), which checks if a block is bad or reserved, it's needed to check if a block is reserved only (but not bad). This commit adds an MTD interface for it, in a similar fashion to mtd_block_isbad(). While here, fix mtd_block_isbad() so the out-of-bounds checking is done before the callback check.

mtd: Move major number definitions to major.h

2013-11-07T07:32:59Z

This patch moves the char and block major number definitions to major.h to be with the rest of the major numbers. While doing this, include major.h in the files that need it. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: add a helper to detect the nand type

2013-10-27T23:27:06Z

This helper detects that whether the mtd's type is nand type. Now, it's clear that the MTD_NANDFLASH stands for SLC nand only. So use the mtd_type_is_nand() to replace the old check method to do the nand type (include the SLC and MLC) check. Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: add a new ecc_step_size field to mtd_info{}

2013-08-30T20:37:01Z

In order to implement the NAND boot for some Freescale's chips, such as imx23/imx28/imx50/imx6, we use a tool (called kobs-ng) to burn the uboot and some metadata to nand chip. And the ROM code will use the metadata to configrate the BCH, and to find the uboot. The ECC information(ecc step size, ecc strength) which is used to configrure the BCH is part of the metadata. The kobs-ng can get the ecc strength from the sys node /sys/*/ecc_strength now. But it can not get the ecc step size. This patch adds a new field to store the ecc step size in mtd_info{}, and it makes preparation for the next patches.

mtd: add 'const' qualifier to a couple of register functions

2013-04-05T12:02:16Z

'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD parsers. At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to them are constant.

mtd: nand: Increase the ecc placement locations to 640

2012-11-15T13:37:48Z

Few devices like H27UBG8T2CTR have a writesize/oobsize of 8KB/640B. This means that the maximum oobsize has gone up to 640 bytes and consequently the maximum ecc placement locations have also gone up to 640. Signed-off-by: Vipin Kumar Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
