mtd: expose subpage size via sysfs

2009-04-19T08:12:49+00:00

MTD has got sysfs support in 2.6.30-rc1. But subpage size is not exposed there - do this. UBI utilities badly need this parameter. At the moment there is no way to get subpage size - ioctls do not return it. And we just got sysfs support, so we can easilly extend it with this additional parameter. This can be merged late in the development cycle because: 1. sysfs support has been just added - there are no users for it so far, even. 2. UBI utilities really need this parameter, and it is better not to delay this. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[MTD] sysfs support should not depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS

2009-04-04T21:52:08+00:00

Move the driver model init code out of the "#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS" block. Tested with both values of CONFIG_PROC_FS . Tested with CONFIG_MTD=m . Issue was reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/4/107 Signed-off-by: Kevin Cernekee Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[MTD] driver model updates (part 2)

2009-04-04T13:32:39+00:00

1) Add more sysfs attributes: flags, size, erasesize, writesize, oobsize, numeraseregions, name 2) Move core_initcall() code into init_mtd(). The original approach does not work if CONFIG_MTD=m . 3) Add device_unregister() in del_mtd_device() so that devices get removed from sysfs as each driver is unloaded.

[MTD] driver model updates

2009-04-04T13:29:07+00:00

Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits better into the current udev-based hotplug framework: - Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs. - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes, which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV. - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes; it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd. - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc). - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs. So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size

2008-12-10T13:37:21+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywords

2008-06-04T16:50:17+00:00

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS. This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code. This also includes code that printed them to the user. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
