mtd: fix oops in dataflash driver

2012-05-07T19:29:50+00:00

I'm seeing an oops in mtd_dataflash.c with Linux 3.3. What appears to
be happening is that otp_select_filemode calls mtd_read_fact_prot_reg
with -1 for offset and length and a NULL buffer to test if OTP
operations are supported. This finds its way down to otp_read in
mtd_dataflash.c and causes an oops when memcpying the returned data
into the NULL buf.

None of the checks in otp_read catches the negative length and offset.
Changing the length of the dummy read to 0 prevents the oops.

Pull second try at vfs part d#2 from Al Viro:
 "Miklos' first series (with do_lookup() rewrite split into edible
  chunks) + assorted bits and pieces.

  The 'untangling of do_lookup()' series is is a splitup of what used to
  be a monolithic patch from Miklos, so this series is basically "how do
  I convince myself that his patch is correct (or find a hole in it)".
  No holes found and I like the resulting cleanup, so in it went..."

Changes from try 1: Fix a boot problem with selinux, and commit messages
prettied up a bit.

Merge tag 'for-linus-3.4' of git://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6

2012-03-31T00:31:56+00:00

Pull MTD changes from David Woodhouse:
 - Artem's cleanup of the MTD API continues apace.
 - Fixes and improvements for ST FSMC and SuperH FLCTL NAND, amongst
   others.
 - More work on DiskOnChip G3, new driver for DiskOnChip G4.
 - Clean up debug/warning printks in JFFS2 to use pr_.

Fix up various trivial conflicts, largely due to changes in calling
conventions for things like dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() (new inline
wrapper to hide new parameter, clashing with rewrite of previously last
parameter that used to be an 'append' flag, and is now a bitmap of
'unsigned long flags').

(Also some header file fallout - like so many merges this merge window -
and silly conflicts with sparse fixes)

mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions

2012-03-26T23:20:01+00:00

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob
...

The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:

1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
   less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
   spot the big API change and amend them.

Instead, use the new 'mtd_can_have_bb()', or just rely on 'mtd_block_markbad()'

This patch introduces new 'mtd_can_have_bb()' helper function which checks

direct 'mtd->block_isbad' use cases with 'mtd_can_have_bb()'.
