      [MTD] m25p80 handles more chips, uses JEDEC ids and small eraseblocks · fa0a8c71
      David Brownell 提交于
      Update chip ID tables in m25p80 to handle more SPI flash chips, matching
      datasheets.  All of these can use the same core operations and are newer
      chips that support the JEDEC "read id" instruction:
      
       - Atmel AT25 and AT26 (seven chips)
       - Spansion S25SL (five chips)
       - SST 25VF (four chips)
       - ST M25, M45 (five more chips)
       - Winbond W25X series (seven chips)
      
      That JEDEC instruction is now used, either to support a sanity check on the
      platform data holding board configuration data, or to determine chip type
      when it's not included in platform data.  In fact, boards that don't need a
      standard partition table may not need that platform data any more.
      
      For chips that support 4KiB erase units, use that smaller block size instead
      of the larger size (usually 64KiB); it's less wasteful.  (Tested on W25X80.)

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

      [PATCH] Remove blkmtd · acc8dadc
      Joern Engel 提交于
      Remove the blkmtd driver.
      
      - An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had  bug report for > 1 year.
      
      - Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
        mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
        them too much.
      
      - It's in the way of klibc.  The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
        are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
        substantial.  At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
