2023-05-30libmtd: Add function to get MTD info by device nameBrandon Maier
This is a convenience function for end users. In some situations it's easier to reference MTD device's by their name then by MTD number, as the name may be more reliable if device partitioning is dynamic or for porting between systems.

2022-09-27libmtd: do not ignore non-zero eraseblock size when MTD_NO_ERASE is setEnrico Jorns
In 54d68799, mtd->eb_cnt was enforced to be '1' if MTD_NO_ERASE is set. This was done with the aim of preventing divisions by zero. However, even if MTD_NO_ERASE is set, mtd->eb_size (eraseblock size) can still be set to a non-zero value which would not cause a division by zero. Instead, enforcing an eraseblock count of '1' here even leads to inconsistent eraseblock counting in mtd-utils and lets for example a 'flash_erase' on an mtdnand device fail: | # flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0 | Erasing 32768 Kibyte @ 0 -- 0 % complete libmtd: error!: bad eraseblock number 255, mtd0 has 1 eraseblocks | flash_erase: error!: /dev/mtd0: MTD Erase entire chip failureTrying one by one each sector. | error 22 (Invalid argument) | Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 0 -- 0 % complete libmtd: error!: bad eraseblock number 1, mtd0 has 1 eraseblocks | flash_erase: error!: /dev/mtd0: MTD get bad block failed | error 22 (Invalid argument) Also mtdinfo would look inconsistent (eraseblock size vs amount): | # mtdinfo /dev/mtd0 | mtd0 | Name: mtdram test device | Type: ram | Eraseblock size: 131072 bytes, 128.0 KiB | Amount of eraseblocks: 1 (33554432 bytes, 32.0 MiB) | Minimum input/output unit size: 1 byte | Sub-page size: 1 byte | Character device major/minor: 90:0 | Bad blocks are allowed: false | Device is writable: true Fix this by enforcing mtd->eb_cnt to be '1' only when mtd->eb_size is actually zero and would lead to a division by zero otherwise.

2017-03-15Fix libmtd behaviour if MTD is not present on the systemDavid Oberhollenzer
The documentation of libmtd_open says, if it returns NULL and errno is zero, MTD is not present. However, the current version always returns a libmtd_t object. The function internally checks, if it can access the MTD sysfs files and, if not, sets a flag to use the procfs fallback. This patch adds an additional check to libmtd_open, to test if the MTD procfs file can be read and fails with errno cleared if it does not exist. Furhtermore, mtd_get_info is documented to fail with errno set to ENODEV if MTD is not present. First of all, this was broken in the original version. It was implemented to specification for the sysfs code path, but if MTD is not present, that won't be executed, because of the flag set by libmtd_open. This makes the check not only redundant, but masks an actual error (the sysfs paths suddenly not being readable anymore). The legacy path that was used if the sysfs files are not avaible fails with ENOENT if it cannot read the procfs file. With the above changes in addition, we don't have a libmtd_t object if neither sysfs nor procfs is readable, so this error status no longer makes sense. This patch removes the documentation on the ENODEV errno, and makes sure that mtd_get_info always returns with apropriate errno on failure.

Short or interrupted writes aren't handled at all. Either a write succeeds writing the entire buffer or the function gives up. During an attempt at fixing it, it was discovered, that no mtd-utils program uses this function. Furthermore, its highly specific nature makes it more of a "feature looking for use case".

2014-11-04libmtd: don't ignore "region index" parameter in mtd_regioninfo()Brian Norris
ioctl(MEMGETREGIONINFO) has one input parameter (regionindex) and three output parameters (info about the erase region). There are two problems in mtdinfo/libmtd here: 1. mtdinfo.c doesn't initialize its region_info_user struct, instead passing uninitialized data to mtd_regioninfo() 2. mtd_regioninfo() fails to utilize the 'regidx' parameter to fill out the regionindex parameter properly, so the garbage from mtdinfo.c is propagated to the ioctl() This means that mtdinfo will continuously probe the same (possibly out-of-range) erase region, instead of looping over the valid regions. Let's fix this in the mtd_regioninfo() helper, and at the same time, let's zero out the mtdinfo.c buffer, as an additional precaution to keep from using uninitialized data.

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.

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.

This patch first of all, re-names 'mtd_islocked()' into 'mtd_is_locked()' since this seems to be the name Mike wanted, and it looks a bit nicer. This patch also makes 'mtd_is_locked()' print an error message if it fails. I'm not sure if it is good idea for a library to do so, but all functions do this, so it certainly _not_ a good idea to be inconsistent. However, for the special case, when the the "is locked" ioctl is not supported or is not valid for this device, we do not print an error message and return ENOTSUPP error code.

2011-04-01libmtd: fix OOB read and write interfacev1.4.4Artem Bityutskiy
When reading and writing OOB we specify the address as absolute offset from the beginning of the MTD device. This offset is basically an absolute page offset plus the OOB offset. And it does not have to be aligned to the min. I/O unit size (NAND page size). So fix the 'do_oob_op()' function and remove incorrect checking that the offset is page-aligned. This check leads to the following errors: libmtd: error!: unaligned address 2, mtd0 page size is 2048 But obviously, the intent was to write to offset 2 of the OOB area of the very first NAND page. Instead of that incorrect check, we should check that the OOB offset we write to is within the OOB size and the length is withing the OOB size. This patch adds such check.

2010-07-26libmtd: support MEMERASE64Artem Bityutskiy
This patch is base on Kevin Cernekee's patch posted to the MTD mailing list. It adds MEMERASE64 support to the 'mtd_erase()' call. Now it first tries to use MEMERASE64, and if that is not supported, falls back to the old MEMERASE ioctl. This patch also introduces an 'offs64_ioctl' flag to the libmtd descriptor. However, we cannot initialize it in 'libmtd_open()', because we need an MTD device node, which we do not have in 'libmtd_open()'. Thus, we firs mark this flag as "uninitialized", and at the first invocation of 'mtd_erase()' we initialize it. This also means that we have to pass the limbtd descriptor to 'mtd_erase()', to save the flag value. This, in turn, requires tweaking 'mtd_erase()' users. This is not very nice, but good enough so far. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
