2006-07-15block2mtd.c: Make kernel boot command line arguments work (try 4)Ville Herva
Trying to pass kernel command line arguments to block2mtd at boot-time does not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc() fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage, and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl() fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than 80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed. With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2 as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this: root=/dev/mtdblock0 append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536" (Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev"). Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the global array is marked as __initdata. Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed. Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot open device ""' Signed-off-by: Ville Herva <vherva@vianova.fi> Acked-by: Jörn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2006-06-14[MTD] Restore MTD_ROM and MTD_RAM typesDavid Woodhouse
Let's not attempt the abolition of mtd->type until/unless it's properly thought through. And certainly, let's not do it by halves. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-30[MTD] replace MTD_RAM with MTD_GENERIC_TYPEJoern Engel
Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring an explicit erase before writing to it. Currently only mtdblock uses this capability. Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@wh.fh-wedel.de>

2006-05-14mtd: fix memory leak in block2mtd_setup()Jesper Juhl
There's a mem leak in drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c::block2mtd_setup() We can leak 'name' allocated with kmalloc in 'parse_name' if leave via the 'parse_err' macro since it contains a return but doesn't do any freeing. Spotted by coverity checker as bug 615. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-04-19mtd: improve parameter parsing for block2mtdJoern Engel
Expand the parameter parsing for block2mtd. It now accepts: Ki, Mi, Gi - the official prefixes for binary multiples, see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html, ki - mistake on my side and analog to "k" for decimal multiples, KiB, MiB, GiB - for people that prefer to add a "B" for byte, kiB - combination of the above. There were complaints about not accepting "k" for 1024. This has long been common practice, but is known to lead to confusion. Hence the new SI units and hence block2mtd only accepts units that cannot be confused with decimal units. Diverging from common practice doesn't always please people, even if the change is for the better.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
