Return -EUCLEAN on read when a bitflip was detected and corrected, so the clients can react and eventually copy the affected block to a spare one. Make all in kernel users aware of the change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Hopefully the last iteration on this! The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the read/write _oob functions in mtd. The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at least seven arguments. read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do the following tasks: - read/write out of band data - read/write data content and out of band data - read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled) struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode. Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation, the other two modes are for mtd clients: MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC placement algorithms. MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout data structre which is associated to the devicee. The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write data routines are invoked. Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible regressions for your particular device / application scenario Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go for a real solution. Improvements and bugfixes are welcome! Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space compability reasons. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The info structure for out of band data was copied into the mtd structure. Make it a pointer and remove the ability to set it from userspace. The position of ecc bytes is defined by the hardware and should not be changed by software. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

We have a type pointer. Make use of it instead of the error prone nand_ids[i] reference. The NAND driver used to set default name settings from the chip ID string for the device. The feature got lost during the rework. Add it back. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Add read/write function pointers to struct nand_ecc_ctrl to prepare the modulaization of nand_read/write functions. The current implementation handles every type of ecc mode software/hardware and all kinds of strange ecc placement schemes in one switch/if construct. Thats too complex to maintain and too inflexible to expand. Modularization will also shorten the code pathes of the read/write functions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The nand driver has a superflous read ready / command delay in the read functions. This was added to handle chips which have an automatic read forward. Newer chips do not have this functionality anymore. Add this option to avoid the delay / I/O operation. Mark all large page chips with the new option flag.

David Woodhouse authored
As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock, stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just _reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can just fill them in. Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

The hwcontrol function enforced a step by step state machine for any kind of hardware chip access. Let the hardware driver know which control bits are set and inform it about a change of the control lines. Let the hardware driver write out the command and address bytes directly. This gives a peformance advantage for address bus controlled chips and simplifies the quirks in the hardware drivers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
