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).

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

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. Alexander
Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing.
The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it
serves to specify the full OOB read length.
The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken
into account.

Hopefully the last iteration on this!
The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.
The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.
read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:
- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)
struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.
Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:
MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.
MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.
The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.
Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario
Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.

to set it from userspace. The position of ecc bytes is
defined by the hardware and should not be changed by software.

The platform structure was lacking an oobinfo field.
The NDFC driver had some remains from another tree.

Modularize the write function and reorganaize the internal buffer
management. Remove obsolete chip options and fixup all affected
users.

Split the core of the read function out and implement
seperate handling functions for software and hardware
ECC.

Add read/write function pointers to struct nand_ecc_ctrl to
prepare the modulaization of nand_read/write functions. The
current implementation handles every type of ecc mode
software/hardware and all kinds of strange ecc placement
schemes in one switch/if construct. Thats too complex to
maintain and too inflexible to expand. Modularization will
also shorten the code pathes of the read/write functions.

FLASH - especially NAND FLASH - will become less reliable
and bit flips more likely. Add an ECC statistics struct
to struct mtd_info to keep track of this.

The nand driver has a superflous read ready / command
delay in the read functions. This was added to handle
chips which have an automatic read forward. Newer
chips do not have this functionality anymore. Add this
option to avoid the delay / I/O operation. Mark all
large page chips with the new option flag.

The previous change of the command / hardware control allows to
remove the write_byte/word functions completely, as their only
user were nand_command and nand_command_lp.

The hwcontrol function enforced a step by step state machine
for any kind of hardware chip access. Let the hardware driver
know which control bits are set and inform it about a change
of the control lines. Let the hardware driver write out the
command and address bytes directly. This gives a peformance
advantage for address bus controlled chips and simplifies the
quirks in the hardware drivers.

MTD clients are agnostic of FLASH which needs ECC suppport.
Remove the functions and fixup the callers.

First step of modularizing ECC support.
- Move ECC related functionality into a seperate embedded data structure
- Get rid of the hardware dependend constants to simplify new ECC models

The NAND driver used a mix of unsigned char, u_char amd uint8_t
data types. Consolidate to uint8_t usage
