2008-07-30[MTD] MTD_DEBUG always does compile-time typechecksDavid Brownell
The current style for debug messages is to ensure they're always parsed by the compiler and then subjected to dead code removal. That way builds won't break only when debug options get enabled, which is common when they are stripped out early by CPP. This patch makes CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG adopt that convention.

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 This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code.

2008-02-07[MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointerRichard Purdie
MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes. Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to flash. This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

2007-03-08[MTD] [NAND] make oobavail publicVitaly Wool
During the MTD rework the oobavail parameter of mtd_info structure has become private. This is not quite correct in terms of integrity and logic. If we have means to write to OOB area, then we'd like to know upfront how many bytes out of OOB are spare per page to be able to adapt to specific cases. The patch inlined adds the public oobavail parameter. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Wool <vwool@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

Remove unused and broken mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize fields from struct mtd_info.

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.

2006-11-28[MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.Vitaly Wool
As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it serves to specify the full OOB read length. The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken into account.

2006-05-30[MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspaceThomas Gleixner
The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2006-05-29[MTD] Rework the out of band handling completelyThomas Gleixner
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>

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!
