This patch series deals mainly with removing driver specific bad block
functions and some minor fixing/cleanup.

1. When initial support for this driver was added [1], then the
   plan was to remove these driver specific functions when NAND base
   layer has support for doing raw read/write for bad block related
   things. Moving to raw read/write seems to take more time so this patch
   series implemented alternate logic for reading/writing bad block with
   normal read/write itself. This alternate logic relies on some
   assumption which seems to be better than driver specific functions and
   provide more functionality. Some discussion regarding it has already
   happened in [2].

2. Some part of code is duplicated in every read/write function
   so clean up the code by making helper function.

3. Bootloaders does access protection for some of the NAND
   registers which generates few write errors if it is enabled.

4. Create RAM based BBT table. Flash based BBT table can’t be
   used since our bootloader does not have support for the same.

**This patch series is rebased over linux-next with PATCH [3]

The QCOM NAND controller skips the bad block bytes when reading
with ECC enabled. The NAND base layer invokes ->read_oob() function
for bad block check which expects the BBM bytes to be copied at
badblockpos offset in OOB buffer. When initial support for this
driver was added, the driver specific function was added
temporarily for bad block check with assumption to change
for raw read in NAND base layer. Moving to raw read for bad block
check seems to take more time so this patch removes driver specific
bad block check function and uses following logic.

The QCOM NAND controller updates the BAD_BLOCK_STATUS bits value in
NAND_BUFFER_STATUS register with every page read operation. The OOB
buffer can be updated with this value while checking the status for
last codeword.

QCOM NAND controller layout does not support BBM byte at offset
other than zero so check the chip’s badblockpos and return probe
failure for all these chips.

The NAND base layer calls write_oob() by setting bytes at
chip->badblockpos with value non 0xFF for updating bad block status.
The QCOM NAND controller skips the bad block bytes while doing normal
write with ECC enabled. When initial support for this driver was
added, the driver specific function was added temporarily for
block_markbad() with assumption to change for raw read in NAND base
layer. Moving to raw read for block_markbad() seems to take more time
so this patch removes driver specific block_markbad() function by
using following HACK in write_oob() function.

Check for BBM bytes in OOB and accordingly do raw write for updating
BBM bytes in NAND flash or normal write for updating available OOB
bytes.

Fix the following NAND register write errors which will
be generated if access protection is enabled.

1. SFLASHC_BURST_CFG register is not available for supported
   NAND contollers by this driver, so this can be removed.
2. NAND_CTRL is operational register and register writes to
   operational registers should always be done through
   command descriptors if BAM_MODE is already enabled.
   With full boot chain, bootloader already enables
   BAM_MODE so read the NAND_CTRL register value and write
   only if BAM_MODE is not set.

Remove the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to use RAM based BBT.
Flash based BBT is not used since bootloaders
doesn't have support for the same.

Driver does not send the commands to NAND device for page
read/write operations in ->cmdfunc(). It just does some
minor variable initialization and rest of the things
are being done in actual ->read/write_oob[_raw].

The generic helper function calls for invoking commands during
page read/write are making this driver complicated. For QCOM NAND
driver, ->cmdfunc() does minor part of initialization and rest of
the initialization is performed by actual page read/write
functions. Also, ->read/write_oob() does not calls helper
function and all the initialization is being done in
->read/write_oob() itself.

Since after 'commit 25f815f66a14 ("mtd: nand: force drivers to
explicitly send READ/PROG commands")', sending of commands has
been moved to driver for page read/write, so this patch does
following changes to make code more readable:

1. Introduce qcom_nand_init_page_op() and qcom_nand_start_page_op()
   helper functions which helps in removing code duplication in each
   operation.

2. After issuing PROGRAM PAGE/BLOCK ERASE, QCOM NAND
   controller waits for BUSY signal to be de asserted and
   automatically issues the READ STATUS command. Currently, driver
   is storing this status privately and returns the same when status
   command comes from helper function after program/erase operation.
   Now, for write operations, the status can be returned from main
   function itself, so storing status can be removed for program
   operations.

Unless I am understanding it the wrong way, NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN will skip
the scan of the on-chip BBT and will scan every block to construct a
RAM, based BBT thanks to the BBM.

So flash based BBT is already unused and removing this flag is a
mistake, right?

Boris,

Can you please check the change in qcom_nandc_write_oob() is
valid? I think it is but as this is a bit of a hack I prefer double checking.

Thanks,

Thank you for cleaning actively this driver. I think you are comfortable
enough now to switch to start the migration to ->exec_op().

I will take this patch as I think it shrinks a bit the driver (which is
inordinately huge) but I would like to get rid of any kind of hackish
->cmdfunc() implementation. Boris and I can help you doing that, you
can grep for drivers already converted and observe they structure
(marvell, fsmc, vf610).

->scan_bbt() is also taking care of building the in-RAM BBT based on
BBM when no on-flash BBT is provided, so I think it's the right thing
to do.

Oh right. Then doing so is harmless.

Thanks for the clarification.

Indeed, it's hack-ish.

Why don't we change that instead of patching the qcom driver to guess
when the core tries to mark a block bad? If you're afraid of breaking
existing drivers that might rely on the "write/read BBM in non-raw
mode" solution (I'm sure some drivers are), you can always add a new
flag in chip->options (NAND_ACCESS_BBM_IN_RAW_MODE) and only use raw
accessors when this flag is set.

This sounds hazardous in the long run. Some vendor specific commands
are re-using the READ0/READSTART semantic to read particular
registers/OTP sections programmed at flash production time. For these
operations, we don't want to go through the regular
chip->ecc.read_page[_raw]() hooks, and instead use
->cmdfunc()/->exec_op(). You probably don't have setups with such
NANDs yet, but that might be the case at some point.

As already suggested by Miqule, I strongly recommend that you work on
supporting ->exec_op() instead of trying to clean things up prematurely.

  We started with that Only

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/508565/

  and since we didn't conclude, we went for driver
  specific bad block check and mark bad block functions.

  Now, we wanted to get rid of driver specific functions

  1. For bad block check, we found the way to get the BBM bytes
     with ECC read. Controller updates BBM in separate register
     which we can read and update the same in OOB. Patch #1 of
     series does the same.

  2. For bad block mark, there is no way to update in ECC mode
     that's why we went for HACK to get rid of driver specific
     function.

  If adding flag is fine now then this HACK won't be required.
  Moving to RAW mode for every one still looks risky.

  Thanks,
  Abhishek

Yep. I'm fine with that. Can you rebase the patch you pointed out on top
of nand/next and move the flag to chip->options instead of
chip->bbt_options + prefix it with NAND_ instead of NAND_BBT_?

I agree.

  Thanks Boris and Miquel for pointing this out.

  Yes. We don't have that setup yet and the current driver code
  also can't handle that condition since the command function was
  not doing anything in this regard.

  Since the current driver code was complicated with lot of
  code duplication, so this patch was raised to cleanup few things.

  I did some analysis and it seems moving to ->exec_op() will help in
  long run. I will start working on that but it will take some
  time for us since It requires major code changes with lot of
  testing. I will update you when we have RFC patch ready for this.

  Meanwhile, I will address review comments in other patches of this
  series and will post v2 after removing this patch from patch series.

I'm currently trying to get rid of chip->block_bad() (now placed in
chip->legacy.block_bad()), and I wanted to know if you were still
planning to submit the changes we discussed in this thread. If you
don't have time, please let me know and I'll try to do it.

Thanks,

Boris

  Sorry Boris, I couldn't work on these patches.

  Currently, I am working on non open source projects so
  I can't submit any patches in open source till this project
  completion due to legal guidelines.

  If this is urgent then you can try. I will help in
  QCOM related stuffs and testing.

  Thanks,
  Abhishek
