2012-03-12Makefile: fix "make clean" for old GNU findBrian Norris
findutils v4.1.x does not have the `-exec CMD {} +' syntax. We can just as easily use the `-exec CMD {} \;' syntax. However, it will launch a lot more `rm' processes, so we only use it if the first form fails with an error. This isn't a perfect solution (`find -exec +' can fail for other reasons) but it works well enough. This problem manifests itself in RHEL 4, findutils 4.1.20: $ make clean rm -f /XXX/mtd-utils/*.o /XXX/mtd-utils/ftl_format ... find: missing argument to `-exec' make: *** [clean] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-03-07mkfs.ubifs: do not ignore --max-leb-cnt when formatting an UBI volumeArtem Bityutskiy
When the output file is an UBI volume - mkfs.ubifs just sets --max-leb-cnt to the volume size and ignores the user-supplied --max-leb-cnt value, which is wrong. Let's set it to the volume size only if the user did not supply --max-leb-cnt. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-02-29libmtd_legacy: don't open device in R/WBrian Norris
On legacy kernels with ROM devices, we can get mtdinfo errors like: libmtd: error!: cannot open "/dev/mtd4" error 13 (Permission denied) mtdinfo: error!: libmtd failed get MTD device 4 information error 13 (Permission denied) We don't need O_RDRW access for informational ioctls(), so make this O_RDONLY.

2012-02-29libmtd: perform device checking firstBrian Norris
If we don't check for the MTD before calling `legacy_get_dev_info1', we may get errors like: libmtd: MTD subsystem is old and does not support sysfs, so MTD character device nodes have to exist libmtd: error!: "/dev/mtd2" is not a character device mtdinfo: error!: libmtd failed get MTD device 2 information error 22 (Invalid argument) So reverse the order of these two checks.

2012-02-14libmtd: fix mtd_write() issues for large data-only writesBrian Norris
ioctl(MEMWRITE) is implemented with memdup_user(), and so it allocates kernel memory in contiguous regions. This limits its usefulness for large amounts of data, since contiguous kernel memory can become scarce. I have experienced "out of memory" problems with ubiformat, for instance, which writes in eraseblock-sized regions: ... ubiformat: flashing eraseblock 12 -- 72 % complete ubiformat: page allocation failure. order:8, mode:0xd0 Call Trace: [<8043fa7c>] dump_stack+0x8/0x34 [<8008c940>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x408/0x618 [<800bd748>] cache_alloc_refill+0x400/0x730 [<800bdbbc>] __kmalloc+0x144/0x154 [<8009cae4>] memdup_user+0x24/0x94 [<802d04e4>] mtd_ioctl+0xba8/0xbd0 [<802d0544>] mtd_unlocked_ioctl+0x38/0x5c [<800d43c0>] do_vfs_ioctl+0xa4/0x6e4 [<800d4a44>] sys_ioctl+0x44/0xa0 [<8000f95c>] stack_done+0x20/0x40 ... libmtd: error!: MEMWRITE ioctl failed for eraseblock 12 (mtd0) error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) ubiformat: error!: cannot write eraseblock 12 error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) This error can be mitigated for now by only using ioctl(MEMWRITE) when we need to write OOB data, since we can only do this in small transactions anyway. Then, data-only transactions (like those originating from ubiformat) can be carried out with write() calls. This issue can also be solved within the kernel ioctl(), but either way, this patch is still useful, since write() is more straightforward (and efficient?) than ioctl() for data-only writes.

Implement the 'legacy_dev_present()' function which will check whether an MTD device is present by scanning the /proc/mtd file when the MTD subsystem does not support sysfs (the case for pre-2.6.30 kernels).

When we have assigned non-consecutive device numbers to our MTD devices, then we run `mtdinfo --all', we get errors once mtdinfo tries to process the devices in the "hole". For instance, suppose that at boot time, we have one MTD (/dev/mtd0) then perform a sequence like the following: # modprobe mtdram # modprobe nandsim # rmmod mtdram Then at this point, we have should have devices 0 and 2 without 1. Then: # mtdinfo --all ... mtdinfo: error!: mtd1 does not correspond to any existing MTD device We add a check to first see if device is present, then continue to the next ID if it doesn't exist.

MEMWRITE is a recently introduced write interface for MTD; however, it is only supported on NAND flash. mtd-utils should fall back to old write methods when either ENOTTY or EOPNOTSUPP are returned.

2011-09-19ubiformat: handle write errors correctlyArtem Bityutskiy
This issue was reported and analyzed by Anton Olofsson <anol.martinsson@gmail.com>: when ubiformat encounters a write error while flashing the UBI image (which may come from a file of from stdout), it correctly marks the faulty eraseblock as bad and skips it. However, it also incorrectly drops the data buffer which was supposed to be written, and reads next block of data. This patch fixes this issue - in case of a write error, we preserve the current data and write it to the next eraseblock, instead of dropping it.

2011-09-11nandwrite: kill `--raw' optionBrian Norris
The `--raw' option has lost all usefulness as it overlapped with several other OOB modes. I cannot even figure out what it was actually intended to do, but I'm sure its functionality fits somewhere in the MTD_OPS_{AUTO_OOB,PLACE_OOB,RAW} options, which are mostly implemented in libmtd's mtd_write(). I don't think users need a warning for this one, unless someone can tell me what it actually was supposed to have done in the first place.

2011-09-11mtdutils: move OOB auto-layout into libmtd's mtd_writeBrian Norris
With the addition of the the new ioctl(MEMWRITE), we can use the kernel's internal OOB autoplacement option. It's a cleaner interface and avoids too much duplication of coding effort. This patch moves any legacy code (using MEMGETOOBSEL) into a legacy function in libmtd.c. It's not exactly a "pre-2.6.30" feature, so I'm not moving it to libmtd_legacy.c. Now, autoplacement features are only activated if we call mtd_write with mode == MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB. This should fix some discrepancies for nandwrite, where we weren't handling OOB consistently (i.e., we had different functionality when the kernel did/didn't support MEMWRITE). But that also means that we now default to using MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB instead of AUTO layout. To re-enable autoplacement, we can re-implement the `--autoplace' option that had previously rotted. This patch also cleans up a need for an extra OOB buffer in nandwrite. This has been tested a little in nandsim as well as on SLC NAND flash.
