2010-11-13mtd-utils: nandwrite: Clarify usage of aligned "erasesize"Brian Norris
Due to the presence of the "--block-align" flag, nandwrite uses a blocksize throughout that, depeding on the execution parameters, may not be the actual erasesize of the NAND flash. In order to clarify this situation for the untrained viewer of nandwrite's code, we should not change the value of "meminfo.erasesize" itself; rather, we can utilize a separate, calculated "ebsize_aligned". Then, when a user actually wants to refer to the physical erasesize, it's straightforward.

2010-11-13mtd-utils: nandwrite: Comment, style fixupsBrian Norris
Comment on "blockalign" default value is incorrect; it only defaults to a 1x multiplier of the actual block size. Perhaps this is a relic of early NAND where all block sizes were 16KB? Reformatted a multi-line comment. Changed separete "if" statements to a combined "if-else-if" since they were logically combinable. Should have no effect on results with minor effect on efficiency.

2010-10-25mtd-utils: nanddump/nandwrite: style, signed-ness, printing fixupsBrian Norris
There were some signed/unsigned integer comparisons. Their types were changed for safety. Also, "strtol" was improperly used for unsigned data types. Nanddump's pretty print options needed a slight reformat to prepare for printing offsets that are more than 32 bits (8 hex characters) wide. This prevents overlap of output and ensures that at least one space is printed between hex and ascii printouts. Perhaps this could use some better alignment in the future. Other fixes: * Corrected several simple spacing issues * Changed indentation of some global variable declarations in order to prepare for the next patch, which makes those declarations longer * Used macro for PRETTY_ROW_SIZE instead of constant 16 * Reformatted, edited a multi-line comment * Removed some unnecessary casts Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

2010-10-17mtd-utils: nandwrite: Large page+oob supportBrian Norris
Dynamic allocation of the oob buffer provides the necessary support for removing the oob size check. Now, new unknown OOB sizes can be handled correctly (for example, 8KB page + 448B OOB). Included common.h for the use of xmalloc. Memory freeing should occur on "restoreoob" as well as on "closeall."

2010-09-24nandwrite: add --skipbad to write bad blocksMike Frysinger
Sometimes dumping bad blocks is useful, like when the block isn't actually bad but the OOB layout isn't what the kernel is expecting or is otherwise screwed up. The --skipbad option allows just that.

2010-05-22nandwrite: fix the bug of writing a yaffs2 image to NANDStanley.Miao
The tool mkyaffs2image doesn't know the oob layout of a NAND flash, so it puts the yaffs2 tags at the offset 0 of oob area, as a result, the image generated by mkyaffs2image is different with the image dumped by nanddump. Now adding a parameter "-r" for nandwrite to differentiate these images.

2009-08-11nandwrite: unified reading from standard input and from file - part 3Jehan Bing
Nandwrite tries to use lseek() when failing to write on a page. lseek() will fail when used on the standard input so nandwrite fails. This code replaces lseek with a buffer. When the data is read, it is put in a buffer (filebuf). This buffer is reset at each block boundary. So a "seek" just means reading from the beginning of the buffer. writebuf and oobreadbuf are now just pointers to locations in filebuf.

2007-03-15MTD-Utils: fix handling of ioctl return value in nand-utilsFrank Haverkamp
Older kernel do not implement the MTDFILEMODE ioctl. In this case nandwrite and nanddump should have used MEMGETOOBSEL in combination with MEMSETOOBSEL. Unfortunately the return value of the unsucessfull ioctl is not -ENOTTY, but -1 and errno contains ENOTTY. This change fixes this issue. I have not tested all cornercases. Would be good if someone could do more careful testing than I did, or maybe reviewing is sufficient in this case.
