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

mtd: Uninline mtd_write_oob and move it to mtdcore.c

2016-04-13T08:23:14Z

There's no reason for having mtd_write_oob inlined in mtd.h header. Move it to mtdcore.c where it belongs. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Acked-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Jacek Anaszewski

mtd: create an mtd_oobavail() helper and make use of it

2016-03-08T00:23:09Z

Currently, all MTD drivers/sublayers exposing an OOB area are doing the same kind of test to extract the available OOB size based on the mtd_info and mtd_oob_ops structures. Move this common logic into an inline function and make use of it. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Suggested-by: Priit Laes Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: kill the ecclayout->oobavail field

2016-03-08T00:23:09Z

ecclayout->oobavail is just redundant with the mtd->oobavail field. Moreover, it prevents static const definition of ecc layouts since the NAND framework is calculating this value based on the ecclayout->oobfree field. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: add get/set of_node/flash_node helpers

2015-11-11T21:45:05Z

We are going to begin using the mtd->dev.of_node field for MTD device nodes, so let's add helpers for it. Also, we'll be making some conversions on spi_nor (and nand_chip eventually) too, so get that ready with their own helpers. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon
