2008-07-25[MTD] [NAND] subpage read feature as a way to increase performance. Alexey Korolev
This patch enables NAND subpage read functionality. If upper layer drivers are requesting to read non page aligned data NAND subpage-read functionality reads the only whose ECC regions which include requested data when original code reads whole page. This significantly improves performance in many cases. Here are some digits : UBI volume mount time No subpage reads: 5.75 seconds Subpage read patch: 2.42 seconds Open/stat time for files on JFFS2 volume: No subpage read 0m 5.36s Subpage read 0m 2.88s Signed-off-by Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Acked-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org> Acked-by: Jörn Engel <joern@logfs.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2008-02-07[MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointerRichard Purdie
MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes. Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to flash. This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

The idea of this interface belongs to Adrian Hunter. The interface is extremely useful when one has to have a guarantee that an LEB will contain all 0xFFs even in case of an unclean reboot. UBI does have an 'ubi_leb_erase()' call which may do this, but it is stupid and ineffecient, because it flushes whole queue. I should be re-worked to just be a pair of unmap, map calls.

2007-09-06[MTD] Fix CFI build error when no map width or interleave supportedDavid Woodhouse
When building NOR flash support, you have compile-time options for the bus width and the number of individual chips which are interleaved together onto that bus. The code to deal with arbitrary geometry is a bit convoluted, and people want to just configure it for the specific hardware they have, to avoid the runtime overhead. Selecting _none_ of the available options doesn't make any sense. You should have at least one. This makes it build though, since people persist in trying.

2007-06-30[MTD] [OneNAND] 2X program supportKyungmin Park
The 2X Program is an extension of Program Operation. Since the device is equipped with two DataRAMs, and two-plane NAND Flash memory array, these two component enables simultaneous program of 4KiB. Plane1 has only even blocks such as block0, block2, block4 while Plane2 has only odd blocks such as block1, block3, block5. So MTD regards it as 4KiB page size and 256KiB block size Now the following chips support it. (KFXXX16Q2M) Demux: KFG2G16Q2M, KFH4G16Q2M, KFW8G16Q2M, Mux: KFM2G16Q2M, KFN4G16Q2M, And more recent chips Signed-off-by: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2007-04-27UBI: Unsorted Block ImagesArtem B. Bityutskiy
UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling across the whole flash device. In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks. More information may be found at http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html Partitioning/Re-partitioning An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit. UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums. Bad eraseblocks handling UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this. Scrubbing On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation, sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate, correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users. Erase Counts UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm itself is exchangeable. Booting from NAND For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This "initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to load and execute the next boot phase. Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume. UBI volumes vs. static partitions UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions: * both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions; * both support three basic operations - read, write, erase. But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional static MTD partitions: * there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI volumes, so the user should not care about this; * there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes. So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed restrictions. Where can it be found? Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD gits. What are the applications for? The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content analysis after a system has crashed.. Who did UBI? The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem. Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer.
