MTD users are no longer checking erase_info->state to determine if the
erase operation failed or succeeded. Moreover, mtd_erase_callback() is
now a NOP.
We can safely get rid of all mtd_erase_callback() calls and all

erase_info->state field, all MTD_ERASE_XXX definitions and the

Some devices do not implement ->_erase() or have an invalid ->erasesize
value. In this case, mtd_erase() should return -ENOTSUPP.
Note that the test is not done on the MTD_NO_ERASE flag because this
flag means 'erasing a block before writing to it is unnecessary',
not 'the erase operation is not supported'. Actually, some drivers are
setting the MTD_NO_ERASE flag but still implementing the ->_erase()
hook and setting a valid ->erasesize value.

The MTD backing dev info objects mtd_bdi was statically allocated.
So when MTD is built as a loadable module, this object fall in the
vmalloc address space.
The problem with that, is that the BDI APIs use wake_up_bit(), which calls
virt_to_page() to retrieve the memory zone of the page containing the
wait_queue to wake up, and virt_to_page() is not valid for vmalloc or
highmem addresses.
Fix this by allocating the BDI objects dynamically with kmalloc. The
objects now fall in the logical address space so that BDI APIs will
work in all cases (mtd builtin or module).

MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit,
but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND
page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is
called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage
usage.
The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page
program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming
but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD
users the pairing scheme information.
The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a
given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit
pointed by pairing information).
It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute
offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups.

ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout

This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively

Commit 807f16d4db ("mtd: core: set some defaults when dev.parent is
set") attempted to provide some default settings for MTDs that
(a) assign the parent device and
(b) don't provide their own name or owner
However, this isn't a perfect drop-in replacement for the boilerplate
found in some drivers, because the MTD name is used by partition
parsers like cmdlinepart, but the name isn't set until add_mtd_device(),
after the parsing is completed. This means cmdlinepart sees a NULL name
and therefore will not work properly.
Fix this by moving the default name and owner assignment to be first in
the MTD registration process.
[Note: this does not fix all reported issues, particularly with NAND
drivers. Will require an additional fix for drivers/mtd/nand/]

If partition parsers need to clean up their resources, we shouldn't

can kfree(). We should allow the parser to provide a proper cleanup

Note that this means we need to keep a hold on the parser's module for a

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

There are multiple types of users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call:
(1) A while back, the cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} chip drivers implemented a
reboot notifier to (on a best effort basis) attempt to reset their flash
chips before rebooting.
(2) More recently, we implemented a common _reboot() hook so that MTD
drivers (particularly, NAND flash) could better halt I/O operations
without having to reimplement the same notifier boilerplate.
Currently, the WARN_ONCE() condition here was written to handle (2), but
at the same time it mis-diagnosed case (1) as an already-registered MTD.
Let's fix this by having the WARN_ONCE() condition better imitate the
condition that immediately follows it. (Wow, I don't know how I missed
that one.)
(Side note: Unfortunately, we can't yet combine the reboot notifier code
for (1) and (2) with a patch like [1], because some users of (1) also
use mtdconcat, and so the mtd_info struct from cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} won't
actually get registered with mtdcore, and therefore their reboot
notifier won't get registered.)

Due to wrong assumption in ofpart ofpart fails on Exynos on SPI chips
with no partitions because the subnode containing controller data
confuses the ofpart parser.
Thus compiling in ofpart support automatically fails probing any SPI NOR
flash without partitions on Exynos.
Compiling in a partitioning scheme should not cause probe of otherwise
valid device to fail.
Instead, let's do the following:
* try parsers until one succeeds
* if no parser succeeds, report the first error we saw
* even in the failure case, allow MTD to probe, with fallback
partitions or no partitions at all -- the master device will still be
registered

When CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER=y, it is fatal to call
mtd_device_parse_register() twice on the same MTD, as we try to register
the same device/kobject multipile times.
When CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER=n, calling
mtd_device_parse_register() is more of just a nuisance, as we can mostly
navigate around any conflicting actions.
But anyway, doing so is a Bad Thing (TM), and we should complain loudly
for any drivers that try to do this.

Since commit 3efe41be22 ("mtd: implement common reboot notifier
boilerplate"), we might try to register a reboot notifier for an MTD
that failed to register. Let's avoid this by making the error path
clearer.

If a parent device is set, add_mtd_device() has enough knowledge to fill
in some sane default values for the module name and owner. Do so if they
aren't already set.

add_mtd_device() has a comment suggesting that the caller should have
set dev.parent. This is required to have the parent device symlink show
up in sysfs, but not for proper operation of the mtd device itself.
Currently we have five drivers registering mtd devices during module
initialization, so they don't actually provide a parent device to link
to. That means we cannot WARN_ON() here, as it would trigger false
positives.
Make the comment a bit less firm in its assertion that dev.parent should
be set.

It makes more sense to return error statuses, not 1/0.

Use dev_pm_ops instead of the legacy suspend/resume callbacks for the MTD
class suspend and resume operations.
While we are at it slightly reorder things to avoid the need for forward
declarations.
