mtd: nand_base: always initialise oob_poi before writing OOB data

2011-11-11T17:44:50+00:00

commit f722013ee9fd24623df31dec9a91a6d02c3e2f2f upstream.

In nand_do_write_ops() code it is possible for a caller to provide
ops.oobbuf populated and ops.mode == MTD_OOB_AUTO, which currently
means that the chip->oob_poi buffer isn't initialised to all 0xFF.
The nand_fill_oob() method then carries out the task of copying
the provided OOB data to oob_poi, but with MTD_OOB_AUTO it skips
areas marked as unavailable by the layout struct, including the
bad block marker bytes.

An example of this causing issues is when the last OOB data read
was from the start of a bad block where the markers are not 0xFF,
and the caller wishes to write new OOB data at the beginning of
another block. In this scenario the caller would provide OOB data,
but nand_fill_oob() would skip the bad block marker bytes in
oob_poi before copying the OOB data provided by the caller.
This means that when the OOB data is written back to NAND,
the block is inadvertently marked as bad without the caller knowing.
This has been witnessed when using YAFFS2 where tags are stored
in the OOB.

To avoid this oob_poi is always initialised to 0xFF to make sure
no left over data is inadvertently written back to the OOB area.

mtd: pxa3xx_nand: Fix blank page ECC mismatch

2011-11-11T17:44:46+00:00

commit 543e32d5ff165d0d68deedb0e3557478c7c36a4a upstream.

This bug was introduced in f8155a40 ("mtd: pxa3xx_nand: rework irq
logic") and causes the PXA3xx NAND controller fail to operate with NAND
flash that has empty pages. According to the comment in this block, the
hardware controller will report a double-bit error for empty pages,
which can and must be ignored.

This patch restores the original behaviour of the driver.

mtd: pxa3xx_nand: fix nand detection issue

2011-11-11T17:44:46+00:00

commit 0fab028b77d714ad302404b23306cf7adb885223 upstream.

When keep_config is set, the detection would goes different routine.
That the driver would read out the setting which is set previously
by bootloader. While most bootloader keep the irq mask as off, and
current driver need all irq default open, keep_config behavior would
lead to no irq at all.

powerpc/85xx: fix NAND_CMD_READID read bytes number

2011-06-22T11:08:48+00:00

when nand_get_flash_type() is called, it will read 8 bytes of ID instead of 5,
but the driver only read 5 bytes, so kernel will dump error messages like:

fsl-lbc ffe124000.localbus: read_byte beyond end of buffer
fsl-lbc ffe124000.localbus: read_byte beyond end of buffer
fsl-lbc ffe124000.localbus: read_byte beyond end of buffer

net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h

2011-06-22T02:17:20+00:00

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).

To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.

Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

treewide: Convert uses of struct resource to resource_size(ptr)

2011-06-10T12:55:36+00:00

Several fixes as well where the +1 was missing.

Done via coccinelle scripts like:

@@
struct resource *ptr;
@@

- ptr->end - ptr->start + 1
+ resource_size(ptr)

and some grep and typing.

Mostly uncompiled, no cross-compilers.
