Currently redboot and afx parser return allocated mtd_partition array and cmdlinepart and ar7 return persistent array. This patch make cmdlinepart and ar7 also return allocated array, so that all users can free it regardless of parser type.

MTD's have both an index number and a name. Formerly, the MTD selected for mtdoops was done only by index number. With this patch, a name can be used instead. For example, the kernel command line: console=ttyMTD5 selects MTD 5 for mtdoops. But now this is also possible: console=ttyMTD,log which selects the MTD named "log" for mtdoops. This has the advantage that partitions can be added or removed that would affect the MTD index number but not the name, without having to then change the kernel command line.

This patch adds support for the integrated NAND flash controller of the TXx9 family. Once upon a time there were tx4925ndfmc and tx4938ndfmc driver. They were removed due to bitrot in 2005.

Move mtd_has_partitions() and mtd_has_cmdlinepart() inlines from a DaVinci-specific driver to the <linux/mtd/partitions.h> header. Use those to eliminate #ifdefs in two drivers which had their own definitions of mtd_has_partitions(). Quite a lot of other MTD drivers could benefit from using use one or both of these to remove #ifdeffery. Maybe some Janitors would like to help.

Fix incorrect debug messages (*write* not read); someone committed some cut'n'paste bugs. There might be more, I only noticed these since I was looking for nand_read usage and landed in some very wrong functions. IMO all MTD debugging message framework is goofed, anyway. It uses "DEBUG" in a way that's incompatible with usage most everywhere else in the kernel, and which prevents normal pr_dbg() and dev_dbg() calls from working right. [True. It predates those by a long way, and should probably be updated to use them. dwmw2] Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

This is a device driver for the NAND flash controller found on the various DaVinci family chips. It handles up to four SoC chipselects, and some flavors of secondary chipselect (e.g. based on upper bits of the address bus) as used with some multichip packages. (Including the 2 GiB chips used on some TI devel boards.) The 1-bit ECC hardware is supported (3 bytes ECC per 512 bytes data); but not yet the newer 4-bit ECC (10 bytes ECC per 512 bytes data), as available on chips like the DM355 or OMAP-L137 and needed with the more error-prone MLC NAND chips. This is a cleaned-up version of code that's been in use for several years now; sanity checked with the new drivers/mtd/tests.

The syndrome based page read/write routines store ECC, and possibly other "OOB" data, right after each chunk of ECC'd data. With ECC chunk size of 512 bytes and a large page (2KiB) NAND, the layout is: data-0 OOB-0 data-1 OOB-1 data-2 OOB-2 data-3 OOB-3 OOB-leftover Where OOBx is (prepad, ECC, postpad). However, the current "raw" routines use a traditional layout -- data OOB, disregarding the prepad and postpad values -- so when they're used with that type of ECC hardware, those calls mix up the data and OOB. Which means, in particular, that bad block tables won't be found on startup, with data corruption and related chaos ensuing. The current syndrome-based drivers in mainline all seem to use one chunk per page; presumably they haven't noticed such bugs. Fix this, by adding read/write page_raw_syndrome() routines as siblings of the existing non-raw routines; "raw" just means to bypass the ECC computations, not change data and OOB layout.

Jeff Moyer authored
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list (harness/cases/3.p). Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0). The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless" (commit abf137dd). Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was not found.

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.

Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without the dirty bits set when the page is dirty. I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve a real race, which we should close."

This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie things like if (ptr + offset < ptr) which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597 for details. Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).
