* Raw NAND The most meaningful change being the conversion of the brcmnand driver to the ->exec_op() API, this series brought additional changes to the core in order to help controller drivers to handle themselves the WP pin during destructive operations when relevant.

mtd: rawnand: Clarify conditions to enable continuous reads

2023-12-22T11:39:30+00:00

The current logic is probably fine but is a bit convoluted. Plus, we don't want partial pages to be part of the sequential operation just in case the core would optimize the page read with a subpage read (which would break the sequence). This may happen on the first and last page only, so if the start offset or the end offset is not aligned with a page boundary, better avoid them to prevent any risk.

mtd: rawnand: Prevent sequential reads with on-die ECC engines

2023-12-22T11:39:24+00:00

Some devices support sequential reads when using the on-die ECC engines, some others do not. It is a bit hard to know which ones will break other than experimentally, so in order to avoid such a difficult and painful task, let's just pretend all devices should avoid using this optimization when configured like this.

mtd: rawnand: Fix core interference with sequential reads

2023-12-22T11:39:14+00:00

A couple of reports pointed at some strange failures happening a bit randomly since the introduction of sequential page reads support. After investigation it turned out the most likely reason for these issues was the fact that sometimes a (longer) read might happen, starting at the same page that was read previously. This is optimized by the raw NAND core, by not sending the READ_PAGE command to the NAND device and just reading out the data in a local cache. When this page is also flagged as being the starting point for a sequential read, it means the page right next will be accessed without the right instructions. The NAND chip will be confused and will not output correct data. In order to avoid such situation from happening anymore, we can however handle this case with a bit of additional logic, to postpone the initialization of the read sequence by one page.

mtd: rawnand: Prevent crossing LUN boundaries during sequential reads

2023-12-22T11:38:46+00:00

The ONFI specification states that devices do not need to support sequential reads across LUN boundaries. In order to prevent such event from happening and possibly failing, let's introduce the concept of "pause" in the sequential read to handle these cases. The first/last pages remain the same but any time we cross a LUN boundary we will end and restart (if relevant) the sequential read operation.

mtd: rawnand: diskonchip: fix a potential double free in doc_probe

2023-12-14T15:42:01+00:00

When nand_scan() fails, it has cleaned up related resources in its error paths. Therefore, the following nand_cleanup() may lead to a double-free. One possible trace is: doc_probe |-> nand_scan | |-> nand_scan_with_ids | |-> nand_scan_tail | |-> kfree(chip->data_buf) [First free] | |-> nand_cleanup |-> kfree(chip->data_buf) [Double free here] Fix this by removing nand_cleanup() on failure of nand_scan().

mtd: rawnand: rockchip: Rename a structure

2023-12-14T15:41:58+00:00

Robots are unhappy with the ecc_cnt_status structure because the kernel doc says it should be called rk_ecc_cnt_status. In general, it is considered a better practice to prefix all symbols in a file with the same prexif, and thus it seems more relevant to rename the structure rather than changing the kernel doc header.
