[PATCH 0/7] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Bug fixes and cleanup

[Samuel Holland]

I have an A33 tablet with MLC NAND, and I wanted to use mainline Linux
to dump the NAND. To do that, I updated this driver's ECC ops to fully
utilize the hardware for ECC and scrambling. This made the driver
compatible with the existing (scrambled) on-flash bad block map, and I
was able to read the full NAND contents.

This series contains some initial bug fixes and cleanup from that
effort. The changes to the ECC ops will come as a separate series.

[PATCH 1/7] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Clean up chips after failed init

If a chip fails to initialize, we need to clean up any chips that were
already initialized/registered.

[PATCH 4/7] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Fix ECC strength maximization

[Samuel Holland]

This is already accounted for in the subtraction for OOB, since the BBM
overlaps the first OOB dword. With this change, the driver picks the
same ECC strength as the vendor driver.

[PATCH 6/7] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Update OOB layout to match hardware

[Samuel Holland]

When using the hardware ECC engine, the OOB data is made available in
the NFC_REG_USER_DATA registers, one 32-bit word per ECC step. Any
additional bytes are only accessible through raw reads and software
descrambling. For efficiency, and to match the vendor driver, ignore
these extra bytes.

Again, I am sorry but I cannot take this change, it would typically
break jffs2 users (if any?) :(

I am fine with the "let's not recompute the register value each time"
idea, but I like having a dedicated object reserved for the ECC
engine, that is separated from the main controller structure (both
are two different things, even though they are usually well
integrated).

If it's actually useless you can still get rid of the allocation and in
the structure you can save the ecc_ctrl reg value instead of mode.

The other patches in the series look good to me.

OK, it is not too much of an issue because I can manually specify the
ECC parameters in the devicetree. Do you think it makes sense to fix
this when adding new hardware variants/compatible strings?

Considering the bug I fixed in the previous patch, and the fact that
mtd_ooblayout_free() zeroes out the structure before calling the .free
callback, that region was being reported with a length of zero already.
So I don't think anyone could have been using those bytes anyway.

I am looking for a solution here because the ECC/scrambling engine
really provides no way to access these bytes. Reading them requires
turning off the ECC engine, performing another read command, and then
descrambling in software. So we are sort of lying when we claim those
bytes are available with hardware ECC enabled.

If this change cannot be made as-is, is there any way the user could opt
in to the new layout, to get the improved performance?

Samuel

Actually, looking at the code again, I don't get how the above diff
could be valid. The "maximize strength" logic (in which this diff is)
looks for the biggest region to store ECC bytes. These bytes cannot
be stored on the BBM, which "mtd->oobsize - 2" tries to avoid, so we
cannot get rid of this.

Actually that's true, you fixed the reporting of the free area which
was set to 0 until then, which means there cannot be any upstream user.
So knowing that, preventing the accesses to the end of the area seems
acceptable when using HW ECC. Please mention it in the commit log.

Right, we cannot overlap the BBM, but the BBM is accounted for in the
line below:

  /* 4 non-ECC bytes are added before each ECC bytes section */
  bytes -= 4;

Normally those 4 bytes are all free OOB, but for the first ECC step,
those are split into 2 free bytes and 2 BBM bytes:

  /*
   * The first 2 bytes are used for BB markers, hence we
   * only have 2 bytes available in the first user data
   * section.
   */
  if (!section && ecc->engine_type == NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_ON_HOST) {
          oobregion->offset = 2;
          oobregion->length = 2;

          return 0;
  }

So if we subtract 4 bytes for the each free OOB area, including the
first one, and also subtract 2 bytes for the BBM, we are double-counting
the BBM. I should have made my commit message clearer. But I am going to
drop this patch anyway.

Samuel

Right, we cannot overlap the BBM, but the BBM is accounted for in the
line below:

  /* 4 non-ECC bytes are added before each ECC bytes section */
  bytes -= 4;

Normally those 4 bytes are all free OOB, but for the first ECC step,
those are split into 2 free bytes and 2 BBM bytes:

  /*
   * The first 2 bytes are used for BB markers, hence we
   * only have 2 bytes available in the first user data
   * section.
   */
  if (!section && ecc->engine_type == NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_ON_HOST) {
          oobregion->offset = 2;
          oobregion->length = 2;

          return 0;
  }

So if we subtract 4 bytes for the each free OOB area, including the
first one, and also subtract 2 bytes for the BBM, we are double-counting
the BBM. I should have made my commit message clearer. But I am going to
drop this patch anyway.

Samuel

Ah, yes, you are absolutely right, then.
