The 'mtd_unpoint()' API function should be able to return an error code because
it may fail if you specify incorrect offset. This patch changes this MTD API
function and amends all the drivers correspondingly.
Also return '-EOPNOTSUPP' from 'mtd_unpoint()' when the '->unpoint()' method is
undefined. We do not really need this currently, but this just makes
sense to be consistent with 'mtd_point()'.

Currently, the flash-based BBT implementation writes bad block data only
to its flash-based table and not to the OOB marker area. Then, as new bad
blocks are marked over time, the OOB markers become incomplete and the
flash-based table becomes the only source of current bad block
information. This becomes an obvious problem when, for example:
* bootloader cannot read the flash-based BBT format
* BBT is corrupted and the flash must be rescanned for bad
blocks; we want to remember bad blocks that were marked from Linux
So to keep the bad block markers in sync with the flash-based BBT, this
patch changes the default so that we write bad block markers to the proper
OOB area on each block in addition to flash-based BBT. Comments are
updated, expanded, and/or relocated as necessary.
The new flash-based BBT procedure for marking bad blocks:
(1) erase the affected block, to allow OOB marker to be written cleanly
(2) update in-memory BBT
(3) write bad block marker to OOB area of affected block
(4) update flash-based BBT
Note that we retain the first error encountered in (3) or (4), finish the
procedures, and dump the error in the end.
This should handle power cuts gracefully enough. (1) and (2) are mostly
harmless (note that (1) will not erase an already-recognized bad block).
The OOB and BBT may be "out of sync" if we experience power loss bewteen
(3) and (4), but we can reasonably expect that on next boot, subsequent
I/O operations will discover that the block should be marked bad again,
thus re-syncing the OOB and BBT.
Note that this is a change from the previous default flash-based BBT
behavior. If your system cannot support writing bad block markers to OOB,
use the new NAND_BBT_NO_OOB_BBM option (in combination with
NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH and NAND_BBT_NO_OOB).

We do not need to invoke 'mtd_can_have_bb()' before invoking
'mtd_block_isbad()' because the latter already handles the case when the MTD

The main 'mtd_block_markbad()' function returns -EOPNOTSUPP if the
'->block_markbad' method is undefined, and mtdconcat should do the same.
Fix this by simply removing the 'mtd_can_have_bb()' because it is not
really necessary. It could be treated as an optimization, but this function is
expected to be used so rarely that it does not matter.

The writebufsize concept was introduce by commit
"0e4ca7e mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct" and it represents
the maximum amount of data the device writes to the media at a time. This is
an important parameter for UBIFS which is used during recovery and which
basically defines how big a corruption caused by a power cut can be.
Set writebufsize to the flash page size because it is the maximum amount of

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:
mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob
...
The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:
1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
spot the big API change and amend them.

There were a few instances of the old MTD interface remaining for JFFS2. We
fix one error that shows up (only when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER is not
defined) like this:
fs/jffs2/read.c: In function 'jffs2_read_dnode':
fs/jffs2/read.c:36:8: error: 'struct mtd_info' has no member named 'read'
fs/jffs2/read.c:112:8: error: 'struct mtd_info' has no member named 'read'
...
We also simply remove two macros that are not in use, were not updated to
the new MTD interface, and don't even utilize the old interface properly.
(That means they weren't used since commit 8593fbc6, year 2006; almost 6
years ago, for those who don't want to do the math)

This patch adds a driver for the M-Sys / Sandisk diskonchip G4 nand flash found
in various smartphones and PDAs, among them the Palm Treo680, HTC Prophet and
Wizard, Toshiba Portege G900, Asus P526, and O2 XDA Zinc. It was tested on the
Treo 680, but should work generically.
Since v3, this patch adds power management functions, a scan of the factory bad
block table during initialization, several fixes, and more extensive testing.
Also, the platform data header file, which only contained partitioning
information, was removed. Command-line partitioning can be used, at least until
an mtd parser is written for the saftl format with which these chips are
shipped.

As nand_default_block_markbad() is becoming more complex, it helps to
have code appear only in its relevant codepath(s). Here, the calculation
of `ofs' based on NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE is only useful on paths where we
write bad block markers to OOB. We move the condition/calculation closer
to the `write' operation and update the comment to more correctly
describe the operation.
The variable `wr_ofs' is also used to help isolate our calculation of
the "write" offset from the usage of `ofs' to represent the eraseblock
offset. This will become useful when we reorder operations in the next
patch.
This patch should make no functional change.

mtdoops no longer uses a console. Now, if you build it into your kernel,
you add something like the following to your command line to select
partition X as your logging partition:
mtdoops.mtddev=X

Many NAND flash systems (especially those with MLC NAND) cannot be
reliably written twice in a row. For instance, when marking a bad block,
the block may already have data written to it, and so we should attempt
to erase the block before writing a bad block marker to its OOB region.
We can ignore erase failures, since the block may be bad such that it
cannot be erased properly; we still attempt to write zeros to its spare
area.

There have been a few reports of this warning appearing recently:
XFS (dm-4): xlog_space_left: head behind tail
tail_cycle = 129, tail_bytes = 20163072
GH cycle = 129, GH bytes = 20162880
The common cause appears to be lots of freeze and unfreeze cycles,
and the output from the warnings indicates that we are leaking
around 8 bytes of log space per freeze/unfreeze cycle.
When we freeze the filesystem, we write an unmount record and that
uses xlog_write directly - a special type of transaction,
effectively. What it doesn't do, however, is correctly account for
the log space it uses. The unmount record writes an 8 byte structure
with a special magic number into the log, and the space this
consumes is not accounted for in the log ticket tracking the
operation. Hence we leak 8 bytes every unmount record that is
written.

When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once
and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain
them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and
other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow.
Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be
cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the
inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup
hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode
lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and
allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away.
Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background
inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate
some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed
much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers. Previously we could exit
writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had
to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently.
Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers,
this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb
and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree. Thanks,

In some circumstances (eg when running a build in an emacs shell
buffer), I get a spew of messages like
grep: writing output: Broken pipe
from setlocalversion, because the "read" subshell apparently exits as
soon as it reads one line and gives EPIPE to grep. It's not clear to
me why this way of writing the check was used instead of just using
grep -q to suppress output, but unless there is some deep reason I
don't know, this way looks cleaner to me anyway, and gets rid of the
ugly message spew.
(I double checked at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/utilities/grep.html
and "grep -q" is specified in POSIX / SuS, so hopefully even people
cross-compiling the kernel on some bizarre host OS can't complain
about this change)
