[MTD] Remove option for add_mtd_partitions() to not register partitions.

2009-05-26T15:45:44+00:00

This breaks the dilnetpc map driver, but it could be fixed not to use
that option. We want to simplify the partition handling, and this is a
step towards that.

Remove superfluous 'index' field from private struct mtd_part too, while
we're at it.

[MTD] mtdpart: Make ecc_stats more realistic.

2009-04-06T14:22:28+00:00

In the existing implementation, ecc_stats fields are incremented only by
one, regardless of master mtd errors number. For example, if there are N
errors were corrected by ECC, partition ecc_stats.corrected will be
incremented by one.

This commit changes simple increment to sum of old value and parent mtd
error count.

[MTD] driver model updates

2009-04-04T13:29:07+00:00

Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:

 - Each mtd_info now has a device node.  MTD drivers should set
   the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
   setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.

 - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
   which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.

 - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
   it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.

 - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
   /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).

 - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro.  It'll work with
   udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.

So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size

2008-12-10T13:37:21+00:00

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl
