de47725421 include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possible
The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.

The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.

There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.

Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

33b53716bc mtd: create function to perform large allocations
Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer
allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested
kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested
transfer buffer size falls below the page size.

This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly-
fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly.

Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too
large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this,
and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because
the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not
really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with
as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is
that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP
flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good,
if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min.
I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal
GFP_KERNEL flag.

Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated
buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

0e4ca7e510 mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct
This field will be used to indicate the write buffer size
of the MTD device. UBI will set it's minimal I/O unit size
(min_io_size) to the indicated write buffer size. By this
change we intend to fix failed recovery of UBIFS partitions
we currently observe on NOR flash when mounting the partition
after unclean unmount.

Currently the min_io_size is set to mtd->writesize (which is 1
byte for NOR flash). But flash programming is often done from
prepared write buffer containing multiple bytes and is performed
in one programming operation which could be interrupted by a power
cut or a system reset causing corrupted (partially written) areas
in a flash sector. Knowing the size of potentially corrupted areas
UBIFS scanning and recovery algorithms are able to perform
successful recovery.

In case of NOR flash minimal I/O size must be equal to the
maximal size of the write buffer used by embedded flash
programming algorithm. In case of NAND flash mtd->writebufsize
should be equivalent to mtd->writesize.

The subsequent patches will add mtd->writebufsize initialization
where needed.

0ceacf36e9 mtd: edit comments on deprecation of ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT
There were some improvements and additions necessary in the
comments explaining of the expansion of nand_ecclayout, the
introduction of nand_ecclayout_user, and the deprecation of the
ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT.

Also, I found a better placement for the macro MTD_MAX_ECCPOS_ENTRIES;
next to the definition of MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES in mtd-abi.h. The macro
is really only important for the ioctl code (found in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c)
but since there are small edits being made to the user-space header, I
figured this is a better location.

cc26c3cd3d mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT
struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as
large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. 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.

b64d39d8b0 mtd: nand: make reads using MTD_OOB_RAW affect only ECC validation
This changes the behavier of MTD_OOB_RAW. It used to read both OOB and 
data to the data buffer, however you would still need to specify the 
dummy oob buffer.

This is only used in one place, but makes it hard to read data+oob 
without ECC test, thus I removed that behavier, and fixed the user.

Now MTD_OOB_RAW behaves just like MTD_OOB_PLACE, but doesn't do ECC 
validation

1f24b5a8ec [MTD] driver model updates
Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:

 - Each mtd_info now has a device node.  MTD drivers should set
   the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
   setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.

 - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
   which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.

 - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
   it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.

 - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
   /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).

 - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro.  It'll work with
   udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.

So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

388bbb09b9 [MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointer
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).

1f92267c51 [MTD] [NAND] make oobavail public
During the MTD rework the oobavail parameter of mtd_info structure has become
private. This is not quite correct in terms of integrity and logic. If we have
means to write to OOB area, then we'd like to know upfront how many bytes out
of OOB are spare per page to be able to adapt to specific cases.
The patch inlined adds the public oobavail parameter.

64f6071056 [MTD] remove unused ecctype,eccsize fields from struct mtd_info
Remove unused and broken mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize fields
from struct mtd_info. Do not remove them from userspace API
data structures (don't want to breake userspace) but mark them
as obsolete by a comment. Any userspace program which uses them
should be half-broken anyway, so this is more about saving
data structure size.

d416085572 [MTD] [NOR] Intel: remove ugly PROGREGION macros
Remove ugly and weird MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_VALID() and
MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_INVALID() macros. There is only one
user of them and they are used locally just for printing.

Anyway, this patch is a preparation for removing mtd->ecctype
and mtd->eccsize, but these macros use them. Fix this.

9fe912cea3 [MTD] add get and put methods
This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description
structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD
device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something
smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI.

7799308f34 [MTD] add get_mtd_device_nm() function
This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to
open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many
situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while
names are fixed.
