 "We've already noticed a few flaws in the MTD work for v4.7-rc1:

   - The Atmel folks got ahead of themselves on trying to support their
     latest hardware and were working off incorrect documentation.  Fix
     up the NAND driver to get this correct.

   - Fix up device tree example documentation to use the latest
     recommendations for describing NAND ECC algorithms"

Revert "mtd: atmel_nand: Support variable RB_EDGE interrupts"

2016-05-26T03:06:28+00:00

This reverts commit 5ddc7bd43ccc ("mtd: atmel_nand: Support variable
RB_EDGE interrupts")

Because for current SoCs, the RB_EDGE3(i.e. bit 27) of HSMC_SR
register does not exist, the RB_EDGE0 (i.e. bit 24) is the ready/busy
line edge status bit. It is a datasheet bug.

 "First cycle with Boris as NAND maintainer! Many (most) bullets stolen

  Generic:
   - Migrated NAND LED trigger to be a generic MTD trigger

  NAND:
   - Introduction of the "ECC algorithm" concept, to avoid overloading
     the ECC mode field too much more
   - Replaced the nand_ecclayout infrastructure with something a little
     more flexible (finally!) and future proof
   - Rework of the OMAP GPMC and NAND drivers; the TI folks pulled some
     of this into their own tree as well
   - Prepare the sunxi NAND driver to receive DMA support
   - Handle bitflips in erased pages on GPMI revisions that do not
     support this in hardware.

  SPI NOR:
   - Start using the spi_flash_read() API for SPI drivers that support
     it (i.e., SPI drivers with special memory-mapped flash modes)

  And other small scattered improvments"

UBI: Fix static volume checks when Fastmap is used

2016-05-24T13:24:37+00:00

Ezequiel reported that he's facing UBI going into read-only
mode after power cut. It turned out that this behavior happens
only when updating a static volume is interrupted and Fastmap is
used.

A possible trace can look like:

UBI checks static volumes for data consistency and reads the
whole volume upon first open. If the volume is found erroneous
users of UBI cannot read from it, but another volume update is
possible to fix it. The check is performed by running
ubi_eba_read_leb() on every allocated LEB of the volume.
For static volumes ubi_eba_read_leb() computes the checksum of all
data stored in a LEB. To verify the computed checksum it has to read
the LEB's volume header which stores the original checksum.
If the volume header is not found UBI treats this as fatal internal
error and switches to RO mode. If the UBI device was attached via a
full scan the assumption is correct, the volume header has to be
present as it had to be there while scanning to get known as mapped.
If the attach operation happened via Fastmap the assumption is no
longer correct. When attaching via Fastmap UBI learns the mapping
table from Fastmap's snapshot of the system state and not via a full
scan. It can happen that a LEB got unmapped after a Fastmap was
written to the flash. Then UBI can learn the LEB still as mapped and
accessing it returns only 0xFF bytes. As UBI is not a FTL it is
allowed to have mappings to empty PEBs, it assumes that the layer
above takes care of LEB accounting and referencing.
UBIFS does so using the LEB property tree (LPT).
For static volumes UBI blindly assumes that all LEBs are present and
therefore special actions have to be taken.

The described situation can happen when updating a static volume is
interrupted, either by a user or a power cut.
The volume update code first unmaps all LEBs of a volume and then
writes LEB by LEB. If the sequence of operations is interrupted UBI
detects this either by the absence of LEBs, no volume header present
at scan time, or corrupted payload, detected via checksum.
In the Fastmap case the former method won't trigger as no scan
happened and UBI automatically thinks all LEBs are present.
Only by reading data from a LEB it detects that the volume header is
missing and incorrectly treats this as fatal error.
To deal with the situation ubi_eba_read_leb() from now on checks
whether we attached via Fastmap and handles the absence of a
volume header like a data corruption error.
This way interrupted static volume updates will correctly get detected
also when Fastmap is used.

UBI: Set free_count to zero before walking through erase list

2016-05-24T13:24:33+00:00

Set free_count to zero before walking through ai->erase list
in wl_init().

Found in U-Boot as U-Boot has no workqueue/threads, it immediately
calls erase_worker(), which increase for each erased block
free_count. Without this patch, free_count gets after
this initialized to zero in wl_init(), so the free_count
variable always has the maybe wrong value 0 in U-Boot.

returning a literal is cleaner anyway.

Drop this paranoia check from the old days.
If our MTD driver or the flash is so bad that we even cannot
trust it to write data we have bigger problems.

If one really does not trust the flash and wants write-verify
she can enable UBI io checks using debugfs.
