[ Upstream commit 5e64c29e98bfbba1b527b0a164f9493f3db9e8cb ]

Commit 5942ddbc500d ("mtd: introduce mtd_block_markbad interface")
incorrectly changed onenand_block_markbad() to call mtd_block_markbad
instead of onenand_chip's block_markbad function. As a result the function
will now recurse and deadlock. Fix by reverting the change.

commit 7c7feb2ebfc9c0552c51f0c050db1d1a004faac5 upstream.

UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0
UBI: scanning is finished
UBI error: init_volumes: not enough PEBs, required 706, available 686
UBI error: ubi_wl_init: no enough physical eraseblocks (-20, need 1)
UBI error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach mtd1, error -12 &lt;= NOT ENOMEM
UBI error: ubi_init: cannot attach mtd1

If available PEBs are not enough when initializing volumes, return -ENOSPC
directly. If available PEBs are not enough when initializing WL, return
-ENOSPC instead of -ENOMEM.

Make sure that data_size is less than LEB size.
Otherwise a handcrafted UBI image is able to trigger
an out of bounds memory access in ubi_compare_lebs().

commit 03a0e8a7c5ea29b5c4e72dfd64900b47a8fb6f2d upstream.

The USER_DATA register cannot be accessed using byte accessors on A13
SoCs, thus triggering a bug when using memcpy_toio on this register.
Declare an helper macros to convert an OOB buffer into a suitable
USER_DATA value and vice-versa.

This patch also fixes an error in the oob_required logic (some OOB data
are not written even if the user required it) by removing the
oob_required condition, which is perfectly valid since the core already
fill -&gt;oob_poi with FFs when oob_required is false.

The sunxi_nand_chips_cleanup() function is missing a call to list_del()

commit bc3e00f04cc1fe033a289c2fc2e5c73c0168d360 upstream.

When keeping the configuration set by the bootloader (by using
the marvell,nand-keep-config property), the pxa3xx_nand_detect_config()
function is called and set the chunk size to 512 as a default value if
NDCR_PAGE_SZ is not set.

In the other case, when not keeping the bootloader configuration, no
chunk size is set. Fix this by adding a default chunk size of 512.

commit 073db4a51ee43ccb827f54a4261c0583b028d5ab upstream.

On A MIPS 32-cores machine a BUG_ON was triggered because some acesses to
mtd-&gt;usecount were done without taking mtd_table_mutex.

kernel: ---[ end trace 080fbb4579b47a73 ]---

Fixed by taking the mutex in blktrans_open and blktrans_release.

Note that this locking is already suggested in
include/linux/mtd/blktrans.h:

struct mtd_blktrans_ops {
...
	/* Called with mtd_table_mutex held; no race with add/remove */
	int (*open)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
	void (*release)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
...
};

But we weren't following it.

Originally reported by (and patched by) Zhang and Giuseppe,
independently. Improved and rewritten.

Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
 "Two MTD fixes for 4.1:

   - readtest: the signal-handling code was clobbering the error codes
     we should be handling/reporting in this test, rendering it useless.
     Noticed by Coverity.

   - the common SPI NOR flash DT binding (merged for 4.1-rc1) is being
     revised, so let's change that before 4.1 is minted"
