add_mtd_partition was a 150+ line monster consisting mostly of a single loop. Seperate the loop from most of the body.

Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase. If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation. It may cause the following data corruption and kernel panics. The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation: if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes during one erase the problem appears. This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found. Could you please include the patch as it is simple and fixes bad issue. Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Such a hardcoded address can cause a checkstop or machine check if the driver is in the kernel but the address is not acknowledged. Both drivers allow an address to be specified as either a module parameter or config option. Any future powerpc board should either use one of these methods or find the address in the device tree.

This patch deletes oobavail assignments, they're calculated by the nand core code in nand_scan_tail, plus current oobavail values are wrong for the LP NANDs.

This patch implements support for flash-based BBT for chips working through ELBC NAND controller, so that NAND core will not have to re-scan for bad blocks on every boot. Because ELBC controller may provide HW-generated ECCs we should adjust bbt pattern and bbt version positions in the OOB free area.

For large page chips, nand_bbt is looking into OOB area, and checking for "0xff 0xff" pattern at OOB offset 0. That is, two bytes should be reserved for bbt means. But ELBC driver is specifying ecclayout so that oobfree area starts at offset 1, so only one byte left for the bbt purposes. This causes problems with any OOB users, namely JFFS2: after first mount JFFS2 will fill all OOBs with "erased marker", so OOBs will contain: OOB Data: ff 19 85 20 03 00 ff ff ff 00 00 08 ff ff ff ff OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff And on the next boot, NAND core will rescan for bad blocks, then will see "0xff 0x19" pattern, and will mark all blocks as bad ones. To fix the issue we should implement our own bad block pattern: just one byte at OOB start. Though, this will work only for x8 chips. For x16 chips two bytes must be checked. Since ELBC driver does not support x16 NANDs (yet), we're safe for now.

This uses __raw_{read,write}s{b,w}() primitives to access data on NAND chips for more efficient I/O. On an arm926 with memory clocked at 100 MHz, this reduced the elapsed time for a 64 MiB read by 16%. ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with an 8-bit NAND using hardware ECC and 128KiB blocksize.) Also some minor section tweaks: - Use platform_driver_probe() so no pointer to probe() lingers after that code has been removed at run-time. - Use __exit and __exit_p so the remove() code will normally be removed by the linker. Since these buffer read/write calls are new, this increases the runtime code footprint (by 88 bytes on my build, after the section tweaks).

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap. TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue(). App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup. Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck. Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But in the case of persistent devices this happens only during initial setup. The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.) %ecx is the counter for the memset, from here: memset(object, 0, c->objsize); i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed. Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh... c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id()); This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it has been freed?" Good analysis. Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc() can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its 'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback). At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an obsolete pointer...

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the rcu CPU map. With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in free-before-grace bugs. Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to __cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).
