2008-12-10[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2008-06-04MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywordsAdrian Bunk
Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS. This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code. This also includes code that printed them to the user. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2008-02-03[MTD] Unlocking all Intel flash that is locked on power up.Justin Treon
Patch for unlocking all Intel flash that has instant locking on power up. The patch has been tested on Intel M18, P30 and J3D Strata Flash. 1. The automatic unlocking can be disabled for a particular partition in the map or the command line. a. For the bit mask in the map it should look like: .mask_flags = MTD_POWERUP_LOCK, b. For the command line parsing it should look like: mtdparts=0x80000(bootloader)lk 2. This will only unlock parts with instant individual block locking. Intel parts with legacy unlocking will not be unlocked.

2007-06-28[MTD] mtdcore.c: share syms with mtd_blkdev.cBen Dooks
Fix the sparse warnings generated by the implicit dependency of mtd_blkdevs.c and mtd_core.c for the two symbols mtd_table and mtd_table_mutex. This is done by adding an local header file mtdcore.h to define these (including the warning about the non-proliferation of these symbols).

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-11-29[MTD] Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for exported symbols.David Woodhouse
While we're fixing up the newly-added symbol, change the neighbouring ones too, for consistency and also to reflect the author's interpretation of the GPL -- which is that _no_ non-GPL modules are permitted. The author always intended his code to be released under the GPL, and believes that any new interpretation of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL' as being any different from 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL' is entirely invalid; the GPL requires that _all_ exports have the semantics of the new 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL', which means the extra four characters are entirely redundant. But since those four extra characters trigger the check for illegal modules in a way that just EXPORT_SYMBOL does not, it's useful to change anyway. This action in no way indicates an admission that there is any legal distinction between the two states, and in particular does not indicate that the author believes that non-GPL modules may use symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.

2006-11-29[MTD] add get and put methodsArtem Bityutskiy
This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
2006-11-29[MTD] add get_mtd_device_nm() functionArtem Bityutskiy
This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while names are fixed. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
2006-09-22[MTD] Unlock NOR flash automatically where necessaryHåvard Skinnemoen
Introduce the MTD_STUPID_LOCK flag which indicates that the flash chip is always locked after power-up, so all sectors need to be unlocked before it is usable. If this flag is set, and the chip provides an unlock() operation, mtd_add_device will unlock the whole MTD device if it's writeable. This means that non-writeable partitions will stay locked. Set MTD_STUPID_LOCK in fixup_use_atmel_lock() so that these chips will work as expected.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
