mtd: nand: omap: Fix 1-bit Hamming code scheme, omap_calculate_ecc()

2014-09-17T16:22:21+00:00

commit 40ddbf5069bd4e11447c0088fc75318e0aac53f0 upstream.

commit 65b97cf6b8de introduced in v3.7 caused a regression
by using a reversed CS_MASK thus causing omap_calculate_ecc to
always fail. As the NAND base driver never checks for .calculate()'s
return value, the zeroed ECC values are used as is without showing
any error to the user. However, this won't work and the NAND device
won't be guarded by any error code.

Fix the issue by using the correct mask.

Code was tested on omap3beagle using the following procedure
- flash the primary bootloader (MLO) from the kernel to the first
NAND partition using nandwrite.
- boot the board from NAND. This utilizes OMAP ROM loader that
relies on 1-bit Hamming code ECC.

It seems that the corrupted partition header on my mtd device triggers
a bug in the ftl. In function build_maps() it will allocate the buffers
needed by the mtd partition, but if something goes wrong such as kmalloc
failure, mtd read error or invalid partition header parameter, it will
free all allocated buffers and then return non-zero. In my case, it
seems that partition header parameter 'NumTransferUnits' is invalid.

And the ftl_freepart() is a function which free all the partition
buffers allocated by build_maps(). Given the build_maps() is a self
cleaning function, so there is no need to invoke this function even
if build_maps() return with error. Otherwise it will causes the
buffers to be freed twice and then weird things would happen.

The return value from 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()' was stored in 'err', not in 'ret'.
This fix makes sure Fastmap-enabled UBI does not miss bit-flip while reading EC
headers, events and scrubs the affected PEBs.

This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.

mtd: nand: reduce the warning noise when the ECC is too weak

2014-07-14T05:19:02+00:00

In commit 67a9ad9b8a6f ("mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC
strength is too weak"), a check was added to inform the user when the
ECC used for a NAND device is weaker than the recommended ECC
advertised by the NAND chip. However, the warning uses WARN_ON(),
which has two undesirable side-effects:

 - It just prints to the kernel log the fact that there is a warning
   in this file, at this line, but it doesn't explain anything about
   the warning itself.

 - It dumps a stack trace which is very noisy, for something that the
   user is most likely not able to fix. If a certain ECC used by the
   kernel is weaker than the advertised one, it's most likely to make
   sure the kernel uses an ECC that is compatible with the one used by
   the bootloader, and changing the bootloader may not necessarily be
   easy. Therefore, normal users would not be able to do anything to
   fix this very noisy warning, and will have to suffer from it at
   every kernel boot. At least every time I see this stack trace in my
   kernel boot log, I wonder what new thing is broken, just to realize
   that it's once again this NAND ECC warning.

Therefore, this commit turns:
