This stores the maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one writesize region. For consistency with the nand code, 'strength' is similiarly added to struct nand_ecc_ctrl. This stores the maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one ecc step.

mtd: support reading OOB without ECC 2011-09-11T12:13:38+00:00 Brian Norris computersforpeace@gmail.com 2011-08-31T01:45:38+00:00 c46f6483d21e93400e4a110de7902830173d53b0 This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE based on the MTD file mode. For now, most drivers can get away with just setting: chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above, you must supply your own replacement function. This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

mtd: support writing OOB without ECC 2011-09-11T12:02:18+00:00 Brian Norris computersforpeace@gmail.com 2011-08-31T01:45:37+00:00 9ce244b3fb416ce6600e05612ac46b9692dcc638 This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly), contrary to the `--noecc' option. I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the problems by: 1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting to MTD_OOB_PLACE 2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob' 3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing either with or without ECC This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.
