cfi_amdstd_sync() and cfi_staa_sync() call schedule() without changing task's state appropriately. In case of e.g. chip->state == FL_ERASING, cfi_*_sync() will be busy-looping either redundantly for a fixed interval of time (for SCHED_NORMAL tasks) or possibly endlessly (for RT tasks and UP).

THe CFI driver in 2.6.24 kernel is broken. Not so intensive read/write operations cause incomplete writes which lead to kernel panics in JFFS2. We investigated the issue - it is caused by bug in FL_SHUTDOWN parsing code. Sometimes chip returns -EIO as if it is in FL_SHUTDOWN state when it should wait in FL_PONT (error in order of conditions). The following patch fixes the bug in state parsing code of CFI. Also I've added comments to notify developers if they want to add new case in future.

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9829 I found and solved the problem, at line 115 of drivers/mtd/chips/gen_probe.c (kernel 2.6.24): mapsize value must be calculated in bytes, not in long.

Patch for unlocking all Intel flash that has instant locking on power up.
The patch has been tested on Intel M18, P30 and J3D Strata Flash.
1. The automatic unlocking can be disabled for a particular partition
in the map or the command line.
a. For the bit mask in the map it should look like:
.mask_flags = MTD_POWERUP_LOCK,
b. For the command line parsing it should look like:
mtdparts=0x80000(bootloader)lk
2. This will only unlock parts with instant individual block locking.
Intel parts with legacy unlocking will not be unlocked.

The bug causes corruptions of data read from flash. The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len" in do_write_buffer(). Since len and adr could be updated in the code before invalidation - it causes improper setting of cache invalidation regions.

Use a single unlock address, adjust it for the device type in the knowledge that it'll be adjusted back again. This has the desirable effect of masking out the least significant bit of the address for x16 devices. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
