UBI: correct ubi_wl_flush locking

2012-06-07T12:22:21+00:00

Commit "62f38455 UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum"
takes the 'work_sem' semaphore in write mode for the entire loop, which is not
very good because it will block other workers for potentially long time. We do
not need to have it in write mode - read mode is enough, and we do not need to
hole it over the entire loop. So this patch turns changes the locking: takes
'work_sem' in read mode and pushes it down to the loop.

UBI: fix debugfs-less systems support

2012-06-07T07:43:54+00:00

Commit "aa44d1d UBI: remove Kconfig debugging option" broke UBI and it
refuses to initialize if debugfs (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) is disabled. I incorrectly
assumed that debugfs files creation function will return success if debugfs
is disabled, but they actually return -ENODEV. This patch fixes the issue.

mtd: mxc_nand: move ecc strengh setup before nand_scan_tail

2012-06-01T19:23:29+00:00

Since commit 6a918bade9dab40aaef80559bd1169c69e8d69cb, the mxc_nand driver
fails with:

Driver must set ecc.strength when using hardware ECC

This is because nand_scan_tail checks for correct ecc strength
settings, so we must set them up before nand_scan_tail.

mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writev

2012-06-01T19:23:19+00:00

The 'mtd_writev' interface calls the function assigned
to the '_write' field of a given mtd device if that is
not NULL. The block2mtd driver sets the '_writev' field
to the 'mtd_writev' function itself and thus causes a
endless loop.

This is caused by 1dbebd32562b3c2caeca35960e5cb00bfcc12900
(mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usage).

Remove the assignment from the block2mtd driver to fix the
issue.

mtd: of_parts: fix breakage in Kconfig

2012-06-01T19:06:59+00:00

MTD_OF_PARTS and the default setting is not working due to using 'Y'
instead of 'y', introduced in commit
d6137badeff1ef64b4e0092ec249ebdeaeb3ff37. This made our board, and
possibly other boards using DTS defined partitions and not having
CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS=y defined in the defconfig, fail to mount root.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2012-05-30T01:27:19+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
  complaints.  The last change to the series was before the weekend the
  removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
  himself - appeared to raise objections.  So I removed it until the
  situation is clarified.  Other than that all the patches have the acks
  from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
  building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
  series.

  Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
  Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
  flagship product, the FALCON SOC.  It also means that the opensource
  developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
  inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.

  Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
  chip variants, cleanups and fixes.  Finally the usual dose of tweaking
  of generic code."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
printk.

mtd: docg3 fix in-middle of blocks reads

2012-05-29T08:14:51+00:00

Corner case reads do not work, and return false data and
ECC. This case is typically seen in a ubifs usage, with a
read of type:
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_oob(from=14882415, mode=1,
 data=(c30eca40:12), oob=(  (null):0))

This results in the following reads:
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_data_area(buf=  (null), len=111)
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_data_area(buf=c30eca40, len=12)
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_data_area(buf=  (null), len=389)
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_data_area(buf=  (null), len=0)
 - docg3 docg3: doc_read_data_area(buf=  (null), len=16)

If we suppose that the pages content is :
 - bytes 0 .. 111   : 0x0a
 - bytes 112 .. 255 : 0x0f
Then the returned bytes will be :
 - 111 times 0x0a (correct)
 - 0x0a 2 times and 0x0f 10 times (incorrect, should be
 0x0a,0x0f)
 - 0x0f 389 times (correct)
 - nothing
 - correct OOB

The reason seams that the first 111 bytes read ends between
the 2 docg3 planes, and that the first following read (in
the 12 bytes sequence, read of 16 bit word) returns the byte
of the rightmost plane duplicated in high and lower byte of
the word.

Fix this behaviour by ensuring that if the previous read
ended up in-between the 2 planes, there will be a first 1
byte read to get back to the beginning of leftmost plane.
