2013-04-05mtd: nand: remove AG-AND supportArtem Bityutskiy
We have only one AG-AND driver and it was not touched since 2005. It looks like AG-AND was not really make it to mass-production and can be considered a dead technology. Along with the AG-AND support, this patch removes the BBT_AUTO_REFRESH feature, because the only user of this feature is AG-AND. And even though it is implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do not really need it in this form.

2012-09-29mtd: nand: use ECC, if present, when scanning OOBBrian Norris
scan_read_raw_oob() is used in only in places where the MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB mode is preferable to MTD_OPS_RAW mode, so use MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB instead. MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB provides the same functionality with the potential[1] added bonus of error correction. This brings scan_block_full() in line with scan_block_fast() so that they both read bad block markers with MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB. This can help in preventing 0xff markers (in good blocks) from being interpreted as bad block indicators in the presence of a single bitflip. Note that ECC error codes (EUCLEAN or EBADMSG) are already silently ignored in all users of scan_read_raw_oob(). [1] Few drivers perform proper error correction on OOB data. In those cases, the use of MTD_OPS_RAW vs. MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB is not significant.

2011-09-21mtd: nand: do not scan bad blocks with NAND_BBT_NO_OOB setBrian Norris
Updates to our default function for creating bad block patterns have broken the "no OOB" feature. The NAND_BBT_NO_OOB option should not be set while scanning for bad blocks, but we've been passing all BBT options from nand_chip.bbt_options to the bad block scan. This causes us to hit the: BUG_ON(bd->options & NAND_BBT_NO_OOB); in create_bbt() when we scan the flash for bad blocks. Thus, while it can be legal to set NAND_BBT_NO_OOB in a custom badblock pattern descriptor (presumably with NAND_BBT_CREATE disabled?), we should not pass it through in our default function. Also, to help clarify and emphasize that the function creates bad block patterns only (not, for example, table descriptors for locating flash-based BBT), I renamed `nand_create_default_bbt_descr' to `nand_create_badblock_pattern'.

2011-09-21mtd: nand: wait to set BBT versionBrian Norris
Because there are so many cases of checking, writing, and re-writing of the bad block table(s), we might as well wait until the we've settled on a valid, clean copy of the table. This also prevents us from falsely incrementing the table version. For example, we may have the following: Primary table, with version 0x02 Mirror table, with version 0x01 Primary table has uncorrectable ECC errors If we don't have this fix applied, then we will: Choose to read the primary table (higher version) Set mirror table version to 0x02 Read back primary table Invalidate table because of ECC errors Retry readback operation with mirror table, now version 0x02 Mirrored table reads cleanly Writeback BBT to primary table location (with "version 0x02") However, the mirrored table shouldn't have a new version number. Instead, we actually want: Choose to read the primary table (higher version) Read back primary table Invalidate table because of ECC errors Retry readback with mirror table (version 0x01) Mirrored table reads cleanly Set both tables to version 0x01 Writeback BBT to primary table location (version 0x01) Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@intel.com>
2011-09-21mtd: nand: scrub BBT on ECC errorsBrian Norris
Now that `read_bbt()' returns ECC error codes properly, we handle those codes when checking the integrity of our flash-based BBT. The modifications can be described by this new policy: *) On any uncorrected ECC error, we invalidate the corresponding table and retry our version-checking integrity logic. *) On corrected bitflips, we mark both tables for re-writing to flash (a.k.a. scrubbing). Current integrity checks (i.e., comparing version numbers, etc.) should take care of all the cases that result in rescanning the device for bad blocks or falling back to the BBT as found in the mirror descriptor.

2011-09-21mtd: nand: report ECC errors properly when reading BBTBrian Norris
Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we should return a proper error status and print a more informative warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers of the BBT scan. Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else" clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit. This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: do not ignore all ECC errorsBrian Norris
There are a few reasons not to ignore ECC errors here. First, mtd->read_oob is being called in raw mode, so there should be no error correction in the first place. Second, if we change this such that there *is* error correction in this function, then we will want to pass the error message upward. In fact, the code I introduced to "ignore ECC errors" would have been better if it had just placed this test down in `scan_block_full()' in the first place. We would like to ignore ECC errors when we are simply checking for bad block markers (e.g., factory marked), but we may not want to ignore ECC errors when scanning OOB for a flash-based BBT pattern (in `scan_read_raw()'; note that the return codes from `scan_read_raw()' are not actually handled yet).

2011-09-11mtd: nand: convert printk() to pr_*()Brian Norris
Instead of directly calling printk, it's simpler to use the built-in pr_* functions. This shortens code and allows easy customization through the definition of a pr_fmt() macro (not used currently). Ideally, we could implement much of this with dev_* functions, but the MTD subsystem does not necessarily register all its master `mtd_info.dev` device, so we cannot use dev_* consistently.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: change KERN_DEBUG to KERN_INFOBrian Norris
Soon we will change many printk statements into pr_* statements, i.e., 'printk(KERN_INFO, ...)' becomes 'pr_info(...)'. However, this means that KERN_DEBUG messages will become pr_debug() statements and therefore will not be activated by default - they must be enabled using dynamic debug. So, for important DEBUG messages, we will simply upgrade these to INFO so that they appear by default.

Also, this is a BBT-related flag (and closely tied with NAND_BBT_CREATE) so I'm moving it to bbm.h next to NAND_BBT_CREATE, thus requiring that we use the flag in nand_chip.bbt_options, *not* in nand_chip.options.

Flag (2) is simply the combination of (1) and (3) and can be eliminated. This patch accomplishes the following: * eliminate NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (i.e., flag (2)) * move NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (i.e., flag (1)) to bbm.h It's important to note that because (1) and (3) are now both found in bbm.h, they should NOT be used in the "nand_chip.options" field.

2011-09-11mtd: nand: separate chip options / bbt_optionsBrian Norris
This patch handles the problems we've been having with using conflicting flags from nand.h and bbm.h in the same nand_chip.options field. We should try to separate these two spaces a little more clearly, and so I have added a bbt_options field to nand_chip. Important notes about nand_chip fields: * bbt_options field should contain ONLY flags from bbm.h. They should be able to pass safely to a nand_bbt_descr data structure. - BBT option flags start with the "NAND_BBT_" prefix. * options field should contian ONLY flags from nand.h. Ideally, they should not be involved in any BBT related options. - NAND chip option flags start with the "NAND_" prefix. * Every flag should have a nice comment explaining what the flag is. While this is not yet the case on all existing flags, please be sure to write one for new flags. Even better, you can help document the code better yourself! Please try to follow these conventions to make everyone's lives easier. Among the flags that are being moved to the new bbt_options field throughout various drivers, etc. are: * NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE * NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE and there will be more to come.

This patch reverts most of: commit 58373ff0afff4cc8ac40608872995f4d87eb72ec mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan options According to the discussion at: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-May/035696.html the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag, although technically valid, can break some existing ECC layouts that use the 6th byte in the OOB for ECC data. Furthermore, we apparently do not need to scan both bytes 1 and 6 in the OOB region of the devices under consideration; instead, we only need to scan one or the other.
