| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and other macros in order to have potentially portable and more consistent code, see commit 82ddcb040570411fc2d421d96b3e69711c670328. Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL is broken, the valid URL is: http://blog.rlove.org/2005/10/with-little-help-from-your-compiler.html Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)): "WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))" It is not a big deal for UBI to use __packed, so let's do it.

| * | UBI: re-name set volume properties ioctlArtem Bityutskiy2011-04-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename the ioctl which sets volume properties from 'UBI_IOCSETPROP' to 'UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP' to reflect the fact that this ioctl is about volume properties, not device properties. This is also consistent with the other volume ioctl name - 'UBI_IOCVOLUP'. The main motivation for the re-name, however, is that we are going to introduce the per-UBI device "set properties" ioctl, so we need good and logical naming. At the same time, re-name the "set volume properties request" data structure from 'struct ubi_set_prop_req' to 'struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req'. And re-name 'UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE' to 'UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
| * | UBI: make the control character device non-seekableArtem Bityutskiy2011-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the UBI control device (/dev/ubi_ctrl) non-seekable. The seek operation does is not applicable to this file, so it is cleaner to explicitly return error (which the added 'no_llseek()') does than trying to change the position (which the removed 'default_llseek()' does). This is an API break, but the only known user of this interface is mtd-utils which does not need the seeking functionality. And any app which relies on this is broken, but I'm not aware of such apps.

Instead, pass the platform_device, which can be used in the pismo driver to retrieve some important information in a nicer way, instead of the hack that was in place. The empty set_vpp function in board-at572d940hf_ek.c is left untouched, as the board/SoC is scheduled for removal.

With this patch the drivers original behaviour is restored and GPIO15 is left alone.

* | | | drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct deviceGrant Likely2011-05-181-2/+5
|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get overwritten. This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to call of_match_device() directly instead. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL is not necessary. And the current Kconfig line we have: select KALLSYMS_ALL if KALLSYMS && DEBUG_KERNEL is just too complex to be sane and right. But this "if" part there is needed to prevent "unmet direct dependency" warnings, because KALLSYMS_ALL depends on KALLSYMS and DEBUG_KERNEL, so we cannot just select KALLSYMS_ALL.

NOTE! This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()' function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option. To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits which do not compile. In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

| | * | UBI: make tests modes dynamicArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-166-62/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to the debugging checks and message, make the test modes be dynamically selected via the "debug_tsts" module parameter or via the "/sys/module/ubi/parameters/debug_tsts" sysfs file. This is consistent with UBIFS as well. And now, since all the Kconfig knobs became dynamic, we can remove the Kconfig.debug file completely.

| | * | UBI: make self-checks dynamicArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-168-25/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code. This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This additional little macro is used to print a bit more messages while scanning the media. However, we have the 'dbg_bld()' macro for this, so we better us 'dbg_bld()' and kill UBI_IO_DEBUG. This simplifies the code a tiny bit. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
| | * | UBI: kill debugging bufferArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-162-19/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch kills the 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' debugging buffer and the associated mutex, because all users of this buffer are now gone. We are killing this buffer because we are going to switch to dynamic debugging control, just like in UBIFS, which means that CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID will be removed. In this case we'd end up always allocating 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', which is rather large (128KiB or more), and this would be wasteful. Thus, we are just killing it.

The intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e., we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig option, which would mean that 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated, which would be wasteful. Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', and this is a preparation for that. signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

| | * | UBI: always re-read in case of read failuresArtem Bityutskiy2011-02-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the read operation fails, UBI tries to re-read several times in a hope that one of the subsequent reads may succeed. However, currently UBI re-reads only if MTD failed to read all data, but does not re-reads if all the data were read, but with an integrity error (-EBADMSB). This patch makes UBI to always re-try reading. This should be useful for reading NAND pages with unstable bits - re-reading may help to get correct data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During scanning UBI allocates one struct ubi_scan_leb object for each PEB, so it can end up allocating thousands of them. Use slab cache to reduce memory consumption for these 48-byte objects, because currently used 'kmalloc()' ends up allocating 64 bytes per object, instead of 48.
