* mtd: Make sure mtd->erasesize is valid even if the partition is of size 0Boris Brezillon2019-02-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 33f45c44d68b ("mtd: Do not allow MTD devices with inconsistent erase properties") introduced a check to make sure ->erasesize and ->_erase values are consistent with the MTD_NO_ERASE flag. This patch did not take the 0 bytes partition case into account which can happen when the defined partition is outside the flash device memory range. Fix that by setting the partition erasesize to the parent erasesize.

* mtd: keep original flags for every struct mtd_infoRafał Miłecki2018-12-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating a new partition mtd subsystem runs internal tests in the allocate_partition(). They may result in modifying specified flags (e.g. dropping some /features/ like write access). Those constraints don't have to be necessary true for subpartitions. It may happen parent partition isn't block aligned (effectively disabling write access) while subpartition may fit blocks nicely. In such case all checks should be run again (starting with original flags value). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com>
* mtd: partitions: fix unbalanced of_node_get/put()Miquel Raynal2018-09-171-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While at first mtd_part_of_parse() would just call of_get_chil_by_name(), it has been patched to deal with sub-partitions and will now directly manipulate the node returned by mtd_get_of_node() if the MTD device is a partition. A of_node_put() was a bit below in the code, to balance the of_get_child_by_name(). However, despite its name, mtd_get_of_node() does not take a reference on the OF node. It is a simple helper hiding some pointer logic to retrieve the OF node related to an MTD device. The direct effect of such unbalanced reference counting is visible by rmmod'ing any module that would have added MTD partitions: OF: ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on <of_path_to_partition> As it seems normal to get a reference on the OF node during the of_property_for_each_string() that follows, add a call to of_node_get() when relevant.

* mtd: partitions: use DT info for parsing partitions with "compatible" propRafał Miłecki2018-07-241-20/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far only flash devices could be described in DT regarding partitions parsing. That could be done with "partitions" subnode and a proper "compatible" string. Some devices may use hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and may mix used layouts (fixed and dynamic). Describing that in DT is done by specifying "compatible" for DT-represented partition plus optionally more properties and/or subnodes. To support such layouts each DT partition has to be checked for additional description. Please note this implementation will work in parallel with support for partition type specified for non-DT setups. That already works since commit 1a0915be1926 ("mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsers").

* mtd: move code adding (registering) partitions to the parse_mtd_partitions()Rafał Miłecki2018-05-071-28/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit slightly simplifies the code. Every parse_mtd_partitions() caller (out of two existing ones) had to add partitions & cleanup parser on its own. This moves that responsibility into the function. That change also allows dropping struct mtd_partitions argument. There is one minor behavior change caused by this cleanup. If parse_mtd_partitions() fails to add partitions (add_mtd_partitions() return an error) then mtd_device_parse_register() will still try to add (register) fallback partitions. It's a real corner case affecting one of uncommon error paths and shouldn't cause any harm.

* mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the "ofpart" typeRafał Miłecki2018-03-271-9/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one supporting "fixed-partitions". It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed to use a more meaningful name. This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse(). It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the "compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one). Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that (e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline argument. Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the mtd/partition.txt. This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

* mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsersRafał Miłecki2017-06-221-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To support such cases we need to first create normal flash device partitions and then take care of these special ones. It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file. Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific formats. This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function. This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart ("fixed-partitions").

To support subpartitions we need to store pointer to the parent for each partition. This is required to implement more natural tree structure and handle all recursion and offsets calculation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit, but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage usage. The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD users the pairing scheme information. The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit pointed by pairing information). It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups.

Instead, let's do the following: * try parsers until one succeeds * if no parser succeeds, report the first error we saw * even in the failure case, allow MTD to probe, with fallback partitions or no partitions at all -- the master device will still be registered Issue report and comments initially by Michal Suchanek.

* mtd: mtdpart: add debug prints to partition parser.Michal Suchanek2015-10-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The probe of a mtd device can fail when a partition parser returns error. The failure due to partition parsing can be quite mysterious when multiple partitioning schemes are compiled in and any of them can fail the probe. Add debug prints which show what parsers were tried and what they returned. Signed-off-by: Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | If we fail to allocate a partition structure in the middle of the partition creation process, the already allocated partitions are never removed, which means they are still present in the partition list and their resources are never freed.

* mtd: part: Remove partition overlap checksDan Ehrenberg2015-04-061-20/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes MTD dynamic partitioning more flexible by removing overlap checks for dynamic partitions. I don't see any particular reason why overlapping dynamic partitions should be prohibited while static partitions are allowed to overlap freely. The checks previously had an off-by-one error, where 'end' should be one less than what it is currently set at, and adding partitions out of increasing order will fail. Disabling the checks resolves this issue. Signed-off-by: Dan Ehrenberg <dehrenberg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
* mtd: part: Add sysfs variable for offset of partitionDan Ehrenberg2015-04-061-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes a sysfs variable called 'offset' on each partition which contains the offset in bytes from the beginning of the master device that the partition starts.

* mtd: part: Create the master device node when partitionedDan Ehrenberg2015-04-061-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For many use cases, it helps to have a device node for the entire MTD device as well as device nodes for the individual partitions. For example, this allows querying the entire device's properties. A common idiom is to create an additional partition which spans over the whole device. This patch makes a config option, CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER, which makes the master partition present even when the device is partitioned. This isn't turned on by default since it presents a backwards-incompatible device numbering. The patch also makes the parent of a partition device be the master, if the config flag is set, now that the master is a full device.

* fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap supportChristoph Hellwig2015-01-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.
