Making the blockdevs available does not imply that they are in use, and warning about bootloader partitions or other devices which obviously never will be mounted is more confusing than helpful. Move the warning to open(), where it will be of more use - actually warning anyone who mounts a file system on NAND using mtdblock.

* mtdblock: Warn if added for a NAND deviceEzequiel Garcia2021-08-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a surprisingly large number of tutorials that suggest using mtdblock to mount SquashFS filesystems on flash devices, including NAND devices. This approach is suboptimal than using UBI. If the flash device is NAND, this is specially true, due to wear leveling, bit-flips and badblocks. In this case UBI is strongly preferred, so be nice to users and print a warning suggesting to consider UBI block, if mtdblock is added for a NAND device.

* mtd: clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedlyXiaoming Ni2020-06-051-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function call process is as follows: mtd_blktrans_work() while (1) do_blktrans_request() mtdblock_writesect() do_cached_write() write_cached_data() /*if cache_state is STATE_DIRTY*/ erase_write() write_cached_data() returns failure without modifying cache_state and cache_offset. So when do_cached_write() is called again, write_cached_data() will be called again to perform erase_write() on the same cache_offset. But if this cache_offset points to a bad block, erase_write() will always return -EIO. Writing to this mtdblk is equivalent to losing the current data, and repeatedly writing to the bad block. Repeatedly writing a bad block has no real benefits, but brings some negative effects: 1 Lost subsequent data 2 Loss of flash device life 3 erase_write() bad blocks are very time-consuming. For example: the function do_erase_oneblock() in chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c or chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c may take more than 20 seconds to return Therefore, when erase_write() returns -EIO in write_cached_data(), clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly.

* mtd: Fix issue where write_cached_data() fails but write() still returns successXiaoming Ni2020-03-241-2/+3

Indeed, even if write_cached_data() fails and data is not written to the device, syscall_write() still returns success. Avoid this situation by actually returning the error coming out of write_cached_data().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ->fail_addr and ->addr can be updated no matter the result of parent->_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice. Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to not pass an erase_info->callback() and are thus only taking the ->addr_fail and ->addr fields into account after part_erase() has returned. While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info->mtd field which was only needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

* mtd: introduce mtd_erase interfaceArtem Bityutskiy2012-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level, which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly. At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be duplicated at many drivers. This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface.

This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

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.
