Fix of performance and stability issues on Intel NOR chips. It fixes:
1. Very low write performance on Sibley (perf tests demonstrated write
performance less than 100Kb/sec when it should be over 400Kb/sec).
2. Low erase performance. (perf tests on Sibleuy demonstrated erase
performance 246Kb/sec when it should be over 300Kb/sec).
3. Error on JFFS2 tests with CPU loading application when MTD returns
"block erase error: (status timeout)" To fix the issue it does the
following:
1. Removes the timeout tuning from inval_cache_and_wait_for_operation.
2. Waiting conditions in inval_cache_and_wait_for_operation now is
based on timer resolution
If timeout is lower than timer resolution then we do in cycle
"Checking the status"
udelay(1);
cond_resched();
If timeout is greater than timer resolution (probably erase
operation) We do the following
sleep for half of operation timeout and do in cycle the following
"Checking the status"
sleep for timer resolution

Trying to pass kernel command line arguments to block2mtd at boot-time does
not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc()
fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to
be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage,
and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl()
fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it
possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets
rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than
80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed.
With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2
as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this:
root=/dev/mtdblock0
append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536"
(Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries
filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev").
Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the
parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the
global array is marked as __initdata.
Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed.
Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd
driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot
open device ""'

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.

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!
