2012-10-05mtd: mtdparts: introduce mtd_get_device_sizeRichard Genoud
'mtd_get_device_size()' returns the size of the whole MTD device, that is the mtd_info master size. This will be used by UBI to calculate the maximum number of bad blocks (MBB) on a MTD device. Artem: amended the patch a bit. Signed-off-by: Richard Genoud <richard.genoud@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-10-05mtd: mark mtd_is_partition argument as constantRichard Genoud
'struct mtd_info' is not modified by 'mtd_is_partition()' so it can be marked as "const". Signed-off-by: Richard Genoud <richard.genoud@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

2011-05-25mtd: provide of_mtd_parse_partitions for !CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTSJamie Iles
If we don't have OpenFirmware enabled then provide a stub of_mtd_parse_partitions that returns no partitions so drivers don't need ifdeffery inside.

2011-05-25mtd: introduce mtd_device_(un)register()Jamie Iles
To prepare for the removal of add_mtd_device and add_mtd_partitions(), introduce mtd_device_register(). This will create partitions if they are supplied or register the whole device if there are no partitions. Once all drivers are converted to use mtd_device_register(), add_mtd_device() and add_mtd_partitions() will be made internal only. v2: move kerneldoc to implementation file and fixup some kerneldoc warnings. Artem: tweak comments: remove junk tabs, use dots consistently.

2010-12-03mtd: fix master device identification for mtd repartitionRoman Tereshonkov
Function mtd_has_master renamed as mtd_is_partition to follow the function logic. The patch fixes the problem of checking the right mtd device for partition creation. To delete partition checking is not needed here so as it is done in mtd_del_partition. By master we consider the mtd device which does not belong to any partition.

2010-10-25mtd: prepare partition add and del functions for ioctl requestsRoman Tereshonkov
mtd_is_master, mtd_add_partition and mtd_del_partition functions are added to give the possibility of partition manipulation by ioctl request. The old partition add function is modified to fit the dynamic allocation.

2010-10-24mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUTBrian Norris
struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest size. Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now. A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be removed altogether in the future. Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe() regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

When declaring static MTD partitions in board specific code, only including <include/linux/mtd/partitions.h> should suffice without gcc nagging us with: In file included from arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/sheevaplug-setup.c:14: include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:50: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:50: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:51: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:61: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list include/linux/mtd/partitions.h:67: warning: 'struct mtd_info' declared inside parameter list Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2009-05-26[MTD] Remove option for add_mtd_partitions() to not register partitions.David Woodhouse
This breaks the dilnetpc map driver, but it could be fixed not to use that option. We want to simplify the partition handling, and this is a step towards that. Remove superfluous 'index' field from private struct mtd_part too, while we're at it. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2009-03-20[MTD] partitioning utility predicatesDavid Brownell
Move mtd_has_partitions() and mtd_has_cmdlinepart() inlines from a DaVinci-specific driver to the <linux/mtd/partitions.h> header. Use those to eliminate #ifdefs in two drivers which had their own definitions of mtd_has_partitions(). Quite a lot of other MTD drivers could benefit from using use one or both of these to remove #ifdeffery. Maybe some Janitors would like to help.

2008-12-10[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
