Hardware: CPU: XLP832,the 64-bit OS NOR Flash:S29GL128S 128M Software: Kernel:2.6.32.41 Filesystem:JFFS2 When writing files, errors appear: Write len 182 but return retlen 180 Write of 182 bytes at 0x072c815c failed. returned -5, retlen 180 Write len 186 but return retlen 184 Write of 186 bytes at 0x072caff4 failed. returned -5, retlen 184 These errors exist only in 64-bit systems,not in 32-bit systems. After analysis, we found that the left shift operation is wrong in map_word_load_partial. For instance: unsigned char buf[3] ={0x9e,0x3a,0xea}; map_bankwidth(map) is 4; for (i=0; i < 3; i++) { int bitpos; bitpos = (map_bankwidth(map)-1-i)*8; orig.x[0] &= ~(0xff << bitpos); orig.x[0] |= buf[i] << bitpos; } The value of orig.x[0] is expected to be 0x9e3aeaff, but in this situation(64-bit System) we'll get the wrong value of 0xffffffff9e3aeaff due to the 64-bit sign extension: buf[i] is defined as "unsigned char" and the left-shift operation will convert it to the type of "signed int", so when left-shift buf[i] by 24 bits, the final result will get the wrong value: 0xffffffff9e3aeaff. If the left-shift bits are less than 24, then sign extension will not occur. Whereas the bankwidth of the nor flash we used is 4, therefore this BUG emerges.

The @cellinfo fields contains unused information, such as write caching, internal chip numbering, etc. But we only use it to check the SLC or MLC. This patch tries to make it more clear and simple, renames the @cellinfo to @bits_per_cell. In order to avoiding the bisect issue, this patch also does the following changes: (0) add a macro NAND_CI_CELLTYPE_SHIFT to avoid the hardcode. (1) add a helper to parse out the cell type : nand_get_bits_per_cell() (2) parse out the cell type for extended-ID chips and the full-id nand chips.

In order to implement the NAND boot for some Freescale's chips, such as imx23/imx28/imx50/imx6, we use a tool (called kobs-ng) to burn the uboot and some metadata to nand chip. And the ROM code will use the metadata to configrate the BCH, and to find the uboot. The ECC information(ecc step size, ecc strength) which is used to configrure the BCH is part of the metadata. The kobs-ng can get the ecc strength from the sys node /sys/*/ecc_strength now. But it can not get the ecc step size. This patch adds a new field to store the ecc step size in mtd_info{}, and it makes preparation for the next patches.

Since the ONFI 2.1, the onfi spec adds the Extended Parameter Page to store the ECC info. The onfi spec tells us that if the nand chip's recommended ECC codeword size is not 512 bytes, then the @ecc_bits is 0xff. The host _SHOULD_ then read the Extended ECC information that is part of the extended parameter page to retrieve the ECC requirements for this device. This patch adds [1] the neccessary fields for nand_onfi_params{}, [2] and adds the onfi_ext_ecc_info{} for Extended ECC information, [3] adds onfi_ext_section{} for extended sections, [4] and adds onfi_ext_param_page{} for the Extended Parameter Page.

1.) Why add the ECC information to the nand_chip{} ? Each nand chip has its requirement for the ECC correctability, such as "4bit ECC for each 512Byte" or "40bit ECC for each 1024Byte". This ECC info is very important to the nand controller, such as gpmi. Take the Micron MT29F64G08CBABA for example, its geometry is 8KiB page size, 744 bytes oob size and it requires 40bit ECC per 1KiB. If we do not provide the ECC info to the gpmi nand driver, it has to calculate the ECC correctability itself. The gpmi driver will gets the 56bit ECC for per 1KiB which is beyond its BCH's 40bit ecc capibility. The gpmi will quits in this case. But in actually, the gpmi can supports this nand chip if it can get the right ECC info. 2.) about the new fields. The @ecc_strength_ds stands for the ecc bits needed within the @ecc_step_ds. The two fields should be set from the nand chip's datasheets. For example: "4bit ECC for each 512Byte" could be: @ecc_strength_ds = 4, @ecc_step_ds = 512. "40bit ECC for each 1024Byte" could be: @ecc_strength_ds = 40, @ecc_step_ds = 1024. 3.) Why do not re-use the @strength and @size in the nand_ecc_ctrl{}? The @strength and @size in nand_ecc_ctrl{} is used by the nand controller driver, while the @ecc_strength_ds and @ecc_step_ds are get from the datasheet.

NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY is a strange, badly-supported option with omap as its single remaining user. NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY was likely used by accident in omap2[1]. And anyway, omap2 doesn't scan the chip for bad blocks (courtesy of NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN), and so its use of this option is irrelevant. This patch drops the NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY option.

nand_base.c shouldn't have to know the implementation details of nand_bbt's in-memory BBT. Specifically, nand_base shouldn't perform the bit masking and shifting to isolate a BBT entry. Instead, just move some of the BBT code into a new nand_markbad_bbt() interface. This interface allows external users (i.e., nand_base) to mark a single block as bad in the BBT. Then nand_bbt will take care of modifying the in-memory BBT and updating the flash-based BBT (if applicable).

As time goes on, we begin to meet the situation that we can not get enough information from some nand chips's id data. Take some Toshiba's nand chips for example. I have 4 Toshiba's nand chips in my hand: TC58NVG2S0F, TC58NVG3S0F, TC58NVG5D2, TC58NVG6D2 When we read these chips' datasheets, we will get the geometry of these chips: TC58NVG2S0F : 4096 + 224 TC58NVG3S0F : 4096 + 232 TC58NVG5D2 : 8192 + 640 TC58NVG6D2 : 8192 + 640 But we can not parse out the correct oob size for these chips from the id data.

Up until now we identified NAND chips by the 'device ID' part of the full chip ID array, which is the second full ID array byte. However, the newest flashes use the same device ID for chips with identical page and eraseblock sizes, but different OOB sizes. And unfortunately, it is not clear if there is a "standard" way to fetch the OOB size from chip's full ID array. Here is an example: Toshiba TC58NVG2S0F: 0x98, 0xdc, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x01, 0x08 Toshiba TC58NVG3S0F: 0x98, 0xd3, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x02, 0x08 The first one is a 512MiB NAND chip with 4KiB NAND pages, 256KiB eraseblock size and 224 bytes OOB. The second one is a 1GiB NAND chip with the same page and eraseblock sizes, but with 232 bytes OOB. This means that we have to store full ID in our NAND flashes table in order to distinguish between these 2. This patch adds the 'id[8]' field to the 'struct nand_flash_dev' structure, and it makes it to be a part of anonymous union, where the second member is a structure containing the 'mfr_id' and 'dev_id' bytes. The union makes sure that 'mfr_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[0]' and 'dev_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[1]'. The only motivation for the union is an assumption that 'type->dev_id' is more readable than 'type->id[1]'.

This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc ("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY"). In that patch I overlooked a few things. The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option, which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing... So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first place.

Currently cfi_cmdset_0002.c does not support PPB locking of sectors. This patch adds support for this locking/unlocking mechanism. It is needed on some platforms, since newer U-Boot versions do support this PPB locking and protect for example their environment sector(s) this way. This PPB locking/unlocking will be enabled for all devices supported by cfi_cmdset_0002 reporting 8 in the CFI word 0x49 (Sector Protect/Unprotect scheme). Please note that PPB locking does support sector-by-sector locking. But the whole chip can only be unlocked together. So unlocking one sector will automatically unlock all sectors of this device. Because of this chip limitation, the PPB unlocking function saves the current locking status of all sectors before unlocking the whole device. After unlocking the saved locking status is re-configured. This way only the addressed sectors will be unlocked. To selectively enable this advanced sector protection mechanism, the device-tree property "use-advanced-sector-protection" has been created. To enable support for this locking this property needs to be present in the flash DT node. E.g.: nor_flash@0,0 { compatible = "amd,s29gl256n", "cfi-flash"; bank-width = <2>; use-advanced-sector-protection; ... Tested with Spansion S29GL512S10THI and Micron JS28F512M29EWx flash devices.
