The restructuring of mtd_write() has allowed us to use `--autoplace'
somewhat successfully; it is supported by the new ioctl(MEMWRITE) as
well as some legacy code utilizing the deprecated ioctl(MEMGETOOBSEL).

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.

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.

To support the MEMWRITE ioctl, we will need a different sort of libmtd
interface for writing to flash. We will expand mtd_write to include more
functionality; for now, we just change the function definition and
description as we begin to add the actual functionality.

Instead of using two different output buffers for OOB data, let's just
use the same one for all output. This adds an extra memcpy, but it

We don't really use oobinfochanged anymore, since all the calls to the
MEMSETOOBSEL ioctls are gone. The remaining usage of it is superfluous
now, as the only case where it is changed is under the "noecc" condition
and the only case where it is tested is under the "!noecc" condition.
We also no longer need the "restoreoob" label and can instead simply
close everything done with the single remaining label, "closeall". Note
that `close(-1)' is legal, although useless.
Finally, we move `old_oobinfo' into the only block of code in which it's
used now.

The legacy -j (--jffs2) and -y (--yaffs) options haven't been
operational for a long time, since MEMSETOOBSEL was killed. I don't
think anybody will miss these options (correct me if I'm wrong). They
can be replaced by proper usage of MTD_OOB_AUTO modes.
The -f (--forcelegacy) option went hand in hand with -j and -y. Now that
-j and -y are gone, there's no use for -f. Kill it.

The `autoplace' option was meant to force an MTD_OOB_AUTO layout while
writing to flash. This option has not been properly supported for a very
long time, as the necessary ioctl, MEMSETOOBSEL, has been removed.
Apparently nobody uses this option. Kill it.
Other code depends on the availability of the `old_oobinfo' data, so we
move some code within a block that handles autoplacement if it's
*already* enabled. This, however, is inconsistent and should be cleaned
up shortly.
Note: this option may be re-implemented in the near future with the
addition of a new ioctl that allows on-the-fly chaning of MTD OOB modes.

Several ioctls are replaced with libmtd calls which should give us 64-bit
support for large devices. libmtd mostly provides drop-in replacements
for the functionality we need. However, when we require erasure of a
badly-written block, mtd_erase() only erases a single block, whereas
MEMERASE could erase a larger region. In nandwrite, we may have a "virtual
blocksize" of more than one (when blockalign > 1). Thus, I added a loop
for this case.
The mtd_oob_buf struct is no longer needed, nor is "erase_info_t".
Error messages for the new libmtd calls reflect the style found in
flash_erase.
Tested with nandsim and with NAND chips up to 4GB in size (I don't have
a device that truly requires 64-bit addressing yet).

For large block- and page-sizes, the multiplication of ebsize_aligned
and pagelen can overflow a 32-bit integer. This overflow can be
prevented by a simple change in order of operations (i.e., do division
first).
Since ebsize_aligned is always a multiple of mtd.min_io_size, this
produces no change in results.

Commit 07005d915d6a79dbdee14b0c4360df5058c3a98b made changes to the
buffer allocation in nandwrite and did not handle all affected code
areas properly. In particular, we were assigning:
oob.ptr = noecc ? oobreadbuf : oobbuf;
However, since oobreadbuf and oobbuf are declared dynamically, they
are NULL at this point. If they aren't properly assigned later, we
unwittingly are passing a NULL pointer as oob buffer.
This assignment line is best moved after the buffer allocations and
pointer assignment.
Effects of this problem can be seen when writing oob data with the "-o"
flag and without the "-n" flag:
$ ./nandwrite -o /dev/mtd0 img.bin

Begin utilizing libmtd for MTD operations: use mtd_get_dev_info() to return
a more detailed set of information about our MTD. Most importantly, libmtd
will yield a 64-bit "size" parameter. This is necessary to properly detect

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.

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?

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

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."

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.

Fixed broken behavior in case of write failure. More specifically:
- Only try to mark a block bad if the errors are EIO. Other errors
will abort the tool.
- Also abort the tool if the marking fails instead of ignoring it.
