2008-10-09Support 'discard sectors' operation.David Woodhouse
We can benefit from knowing that the file system no longer cares about the contents of certain sectors, by throwing them away immediately and then never having to garbage collect them, and using the extra free space to make our operations more efficient. Do so. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-09-02[MTD] mtdchar.c: Fix regression in MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl()Zev Weiss
The MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl() in mtdchar.c was clobbering user memory by overwriting more than intended, due the size of struct mtd_erase_region_info changing in commit 0ecbc81adfcb9f15f86b05ff576b342ce81bbef8 ('Support for auto locking flash on power up'). Fix avoids this by copying struct members one by one with put_user(), as there is no longer a convenient struct to use the size of as the length argument to copy_to_user().

We won't actually know how to handle them correctly; display the ID and ignore the chip. * Move the original block comment about the "legacy" chip ID scheme back next to the code to which it applies ... not next to the new JEDEC query code, which uses an entirely different strategy. * Don't print a guessed erasesize; /proc/mtd has the real value.

2008-07-25[MTD] [NOR] Fix -ETIMEO errors in CFI driverAlexey Korolev
Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase. If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation. It may cause the following data corruption and kernel panics. The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation: if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes during one erase the problem appears. This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found. Could you please include the patch as it is simple and fixes bad issue. Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2008-07-24PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

2008-07-24UBI: remove pre-sqnum images supportArtem Bityutskiy
Before UBI got into mainline, there was a slight flash format change - we did not have sequence number support, then added it. We have carried full support of those ancient images till this moment. Now the support is removed, well, not fully removed. Now UBI will support only _clean_ old images, which were cleanly detached last time (just before kernel upgrade). This is most likely the case. But we will not support unclean ancient images. Surprisingly, this allows us to remove a big chunk of legacy code. And the same should be true for downgrading: clean images should downgrade fine, but unclean ones will not. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
