commit d9b8a67b3b95a5c5aae6422b8113adc1c2485f2b upstream.

In function do_write_buffer(), in the for loop, there is a case
chip_ready() returns 1 while chip_good() returns 0, so it never
break the loop.
To fix this, chip_good() is enough and it should timeout if it stay
bad for a while.

commit 0eb8618bd07533f423fed47399a0d6387bfe7cac upstream.

kasprintf() does a dynamic memory allocation and can fail.
We have to handle that case.

<content type='text'>
commit d5d27fd9826b59979b184ec288e4812abac0e988 upstream.

Disable BCH soft reset according to MX23 erratum #2847 ("BCH soft
reset may cause bus master lock up") for MX28 too. It has the same
problem.

Observed problem: once per 100,000+ MX28 reboots NAND read failed on
DMA timeout errors:
[    1.770823] UBI: attaching mtd3 to ubi0
[    2.768088] gpmi_nand: DMA timeout, last DMA :1
[    3.958087] gpmi_nand: BCH timeout, last DMA :1
[    4.156033] gpmi_nand: Error in ECC-based read: -110
[    4.161136] UBI warning: ubi_io_read: error -110 while reading 64
bytes from PEB 0:0, read only 0 bytes, retry
[    4.171283] step 1 error
[    4.173846] gpmi_nand: Chip: 0, Error -1

Without BCH soft reset we successfully executed 1,000,000 MX28 reboots.

I have a quote from NXP regarding this problem, from July 18th 2016:

"As the i.MX23 and i.MX28 are of the same generation, they share many
characteristics. Unfortunately, also the erratas may be shared.
In case of the documented erratas and the workarounds, you can also
apply the workaround solution of one device on the other one. This have
been reported, but I’m afraid that there are not an estimated date for
updating the Errata documents.
Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences this may cause."

<title>mtd: docg3: don't set conflicting BCH_CONST_PARAMS option</title>

<id>c595f953a957df6e2cb6da7f0728b4602239d0f8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit be2e1c9dcf76886a83fb1c433a316e26d4ca2550 upstream.

I noticed during the creation of another bugfix that the BCH_CONST_PARAMS
option that is set by DOCG3 breaks setting variable parameters for any
other users of the BCH library code.

The only other user we have today is the MTD_NAND software BCH
implementation (most flash controllers use hardware BCH these days
and are not affected). I considered removing BCH_CONST_PARAMS entirely
because of the inherent conflict, but according to the description in
lib/bch.c there is a significant performance benefit in keeping it.

To avoid the immediate problem of the conflict between MTD_NAND_BCH
and DOCG3, this only sets the constant parameters if MTD_NAND_BCH
is disabled, which should fix the problem for all cases that
are affected. This should also work for all stable kernels.

Note that there is only one machine that actually seems to use the
DOCG3 driver (arch/arm/mach-pxa/mioa701.c), so most users should have
the driver disabled, but it almost certainly shows up if we wanted
to test random kernels on machines that use software BCH in MTD.

commit 000412276370a9bcfec73b3752ceefd9a927f1db upstream.

fsl_qspi_get_seqid() may return -EINVAL, but fsl_qspi_init_ahb_read()
doesn't check for error codes with the result that -EINVAL could find
itself signalled over the bus.

In conjunction with the LS1046A SoC's A-009283 errata
("Illegal accesses to SPI flash memory can result in a system hang")
this illegal access to SPI flash memory results in a system hang
if userspace attempts reading later on.

Avoid this by always checking fsl_qspi_get_seqid()'s return value
and bail out otherwise.

<content type='text'>
commit 04850c4d8613127a9b488321c0ad83bff7519311 upstream.

Change the READ/WRITE to FSL_READ/FSL_WRITE to resolve any possible
namespace collisions with READ/WRITE macros (e.g., from &lt;linux/fs.h&gt;).

Problems have been seen, for example, on mips:

&gt;&gt; drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:186:5: error: 'LUT_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
      ((LUT_##ins) &lt;&lt; INSTR0_SHIFT))
        ^
&gt;&gt; drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:188:30: note: in expansion of macro 'LUT0'

On SPARC:

drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c: In function 'fsl_qspi_init_lut':
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:369:1: error: 'LUT_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:418:1: error: pasting "LUT_" and "(" does not give a valid preprocessing token
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:418:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'LUT_'

And surely on others.

commit 04850c4d8613127a9b488321c0ad83bff7519311 upstream.

Change the READ/WRITE to FSL_READ/FSL_WRITE to resolve any possible
namespace collisions with READ/WRITE macros (e.g., from &lt;linux/fs.h&gt;).

Problems have been seen, for example, on mips:

&gt;&gt; drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:186:5: error: 'LUT_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
      ((LUT_##ins) &lt;&lt; INSTR0_SHIFT))
        ^
&gt;&gt; drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:188:30: note: in expansion of macro 'LUT0'

On SPARC:

drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c: In function 'fsl_qspi_init_lut':
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:369:1: error: 'LUT_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:418:1: error: pasting "LUT_" and "(" does not give a valid preprocessing token
drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c:418:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'LUT_'

And surely on others.

commit 6c6bc9ea84d0008024606bf5ba10519e20d851bf upstream.

The first checks in mtdchar_read() and mtdchar_write() attempt to limit
`count` such that `*ppos + count &lt;= mtd-&gt;size`. However, they ignore the
possibility of `*ppos &gt; mtd-&gt;size`, allowing the calculation of `count` to
wrap around. `mtdchar_lseek()` prevents seeking beyond mtd-&gt;size, but the
pread/pwrite syscalls bypass this.

I haven't found any codepath on which this actually causes dangerous
behavior, but it seems like a sensible change anyway.
