Nowadays MTD supports an MTD_OOB_AUTO option which allows users to access free bytes in NAND's OOB as a contiguous buffer, although it may be highly discontinuous. This patch teaches JFFS2 to use this nice feature instead of the old MTD_OOB_PLACE option. This for example caused problems with OneNAND. Now JFFS2 does not care how are the free bytes situated. This may change position of the clean marker on some flashes, but this is not a problem. JFFS2 will just re-erase the empty eraseblocks and write the new (correct) clean marker.

Remove unused and broken mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize fields from struct mtd_info. Do not remove them from userspace API data structures (don't want to breake userspace) but mark them as obsolete by a comment. Any userspace program which uses them should be half-broken anyway, so this is more about saving data structure size.

Remove ugly and weird MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_VALID() and MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_INVALID() macros. There is only one user of them and they are used locally just for printing. Anyway, this patch is a preparation for removing mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize, but these macros use them. Fix this.

The cfi_staa_write_buffers() uses mtd->eccsize but means mtd->writesize. BTW, mtd-eccsize is broken and is not initialized, which means the code fixed by this patch is broken/unused anyway.

OneNAND has internal bufferRAMs. The driver keeps track of what is in the bufferRAM to save having to load from the NAND core. After an erase operation, the driver must mark bufferRAM invalid if it refers to the erased block.

Add checks to ensure that out-of-band reads and writes are not attempted with an invalid offset or length. Specifically, the offset must be less than the size of oob for a page and the length must not go beyond the size of the device. Additionally the checks must adjust for auto-placement (MTD_OOB_AUTO) of oob data. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

In commit c172471b Nico switched to using common code for polling for command completion. Unfortunately he also used a common default timeout for both write and erase commands, despite the fact that erases can take a _whole_ lot longer. Use a more sensible default for erase timeout.

OneNAND double-density package (DDP) has two chips, each with their own bufferRAM. The driver will skip loading data from the NAND core if the data can be found in a bufferRAM, however in that case, the correct chip's bufferRAM must be selected before reading from bufferRAM.

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on the stack. The recent change to use -mregparm=3 breaks x86 EFI support. This patch is needed to allow the new Intel-based Macs to suspend to ram (efi.get_time is called during the suspend phase).

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to reproduce it on one machine so far. The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs() calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq(). The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete. The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete(). A possible scenario: cpu0 cpu1 io_destroy aio_complete wait_for_all_aios { __aio_put_req ... ctx->reqs_active--; if (!ctx->reqs_active) return; } ... put_ioctx(ioctx) put_ioctx(ctx); __put_ioctx bam! Bug trigger! The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not being properly protected by spin lock. This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper, this results in a crash. The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.
