* mtd: Disable mtdchar mmap on MMU systemsDavid Woodhouse2013-04-251-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | commit f5cf8f07423b2677cebebcebc863af77223a4972 upstream. This code was broken because it assumed that all MTD devices were map-based. Disable it for now, until it can be fixed properly for the next merge window.

| * mtd: add MEMWRITE ioctlBrian Norris2011-09-111-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a new ioctl for writing both page data and OOB to flash at the same time. This ioctl is intended to be a generic interface that can replace other ioctls (MEMWRITEOOB and MEMWRITEOOB64) and cover the functionality of several other old ones, e.g., MEMWRITE can: * write autoplaced OOB instead of using ECCGETLAYOUT (deprecated) and working around the reserved areas * write raw (no ECC) OOB instead of using MTDFILEMODE to set the per-file-descriptor MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW * write raw (no ECC) data instead of using MTDFILEMODE (MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW) and using standard character device "write" This ioctl is especially useful for MLC NAND, which cannot be written twice (i.e., we cannot successfully write the page data and OOB in two separate operations). Instead, MEMWRITE can write both in a single operation. Note that this ioctl is not affected by the MTD file mode (i.e., MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW vs. MTD_FILE_MODE_NORMAL), since it receives its write mode as an input parameter.

| * mtd: rename MTD_MODE_* to MTD_FILE_MODE_*Brian Norris2011-09-111-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These modes hold their state only for the life of their file descriptor, and they overlap functionality with the MTD_OPS_* modes. Particularly, MTD_MODE_RAW and MTD_OPS_RAW cover the same function: to provide raw (i.e., without ECC) access to the flash. In fact, although it may not be clear, MTD_MODE_RAW implied that operations should enable the MTD_OPS_RAW mode. Thus, we should be specific on what each mode means. This is a start, where MTD_FILE_MODE_* actually represents a "file mode," not necessarily a true global MTD mode.

| * mtd: support reading OOB without ECCBrian Norris2011-09-111-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE based on the MTD file mode. For now, most drivers can get away with just setting: chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above, you must supply your own replacement function. This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

| * mtd: support writing OOB without ECCBrian Norris2011-09-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly), contrary to the `--noecc' option. I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the problems by: 1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting to MTD_OOB_PLACE 2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob' 3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing either with or without ECC This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

| * mtd: do not assume oobsize is power of 2Brian Norris2011-09-111-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous generations of MTDs all used OOB sizes that were powers of 2, (e.g., 64, 128). However, newer generations of flash, especially NAND, use irregular OOB sizes that are not powers of 2 (e.g., 218, 224, 448). This means we cannot use masks like "mtd->oobsize - 1" to assume that we will get a proper bitmask for OOB operations. These masks are really only intended to hide the "page" portion of the offset, leaving any OOB offset intact, so a masking with the writesize (which *is* always a power of 2) is valid and makes more sense. This has been tested for read/write of NAND devices (nanddump/nandwrite) using nandsim and actual NAND flash.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the standard NAND OOB functions do not do ECC on the spare area, it is possible for a driver to supply its own OOB ECC functions (e.g., HW ECC). nand_do_read_oob should act like nand_do_read_ops in checking the ECC stats and returning -EBADMSG or -EUCLEAN on uncorrectable errors or correctable bitflips, respectively. These error codes could be used in flash-based BBT code or in YAFFS, for example. Doing this, however, messes with the behavior of mtd_do_readoob. Now, mtd_do_readoob should check whether we had -EUCLEAN or -EBADMSG errors and discard those as "non-fatal" so that the ioctls can still succeed with (possibly uncorrected) data.

* VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mountsTim Chen2011-07-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release reference to file objects. In fact, only local lock need to have been taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of going away until we are ready to unregister them. The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without mount point as long term. The contentions of vfs_mount lock is now eliminated. Before un-registering such file system, kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and make the mount point ready to be freed.

Accounting rules for longterm count: * 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt * 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt * 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns * decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm. If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement percpu mnt_count. Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count. For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm(); namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where we need to manipulate mnt_longterm. Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need to care about two kinds of references, etc. And we get to keep the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Thus, copying that struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest size. Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now. A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be removed altogether in the future. Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe() regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Cc: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
