Since it's possible for `memcmp()' to be optimized for a particular

In rare cases, we are given an unaligned parameter `from' in
`nand_do_read_ops()'. In such cases, we use the page cache
(chip->buffers->databuf) as an intermediate buffer before dumping to the
client buffer. However, there are also cases where this buffer is not
cleanly reusable. In those cases, we need to make sure that we
explicitly invalidate the cache.
This patch prevents accidental reusage of the page cache, and for me,
this solves some problems I come across when reading a corrupted BBT
from flash (NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH and NAND_BBT_NO_OOB).
Note: the rare "unaligned" case is a result of the extra BBT pattern +
version located in the data area instead of OOB.
Also, this patch disables caching on raw reads, since we are reading
without error correction. This is, obviously, prone to errors and should
not be cached.

Updates to our default function for creating bad block patterns have
broken the "no OOB" feature. The NAND_BBT_NO_OOB option should not be
set while scanning for bad blocks, but we've been passing all BBT
options from nand_chip.bbt_options to the bad block scan. This causes us
to hit the:
BUG_ON(bd->options & NAND_BBT_NO_OOB);
in create_bbt() when we scan the flash for bad blocks.
Thus, while it can be legal to set NAND_BBT_NO_OOB in a custom badblock
pattern descriptor (presumably with NAND_BBT_CREATE disabled?), we
should not pass it through in our default function.
Also, to help clarify and emphasize that the function creates bad block
patterns only (not, for example, table descriptors for locating
flash-based BBT), I renamed `nand_create_default_bbt_descr' to
`nand_create_badblock_pattern'.

Because there are so many cases of checking, writing, and re-writing of
the bad block table(s), we might as well wait until the we've settled on
a valid, clean copy of the table. This also prevents us from falsely
incrementing the table version. For example, we may have the following:
Primary table, with version 0x02
Mirror table, with version 0x01
Primary table has uncorrectable ECC errors
If we don't have this fix applied, then we will:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Set mirror table version to 0x02
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback operation with mirror table, now version 0x02
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Writeback BBT to primary table location (with "version 0x02")
However, the mirrored table shouldn't have a new version number.
Instead, we actually want:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback with mirror table (version 0x01)
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Set both tables to version 0x01
Writeback BBT to primary table location (version 0x01)

Now that `read_bbt()' returns ECC error codes properly, we handle those
codes when checking the integrity of our flash-based BBT.
The modifications can be described by this new policy:
*) On any uncorrected ECC error, we invalidate the corresponding table
and retry our version-checking integrity logic.
*) On corrected bitflips, we mark both tables for re-writing to flash
(a.k.a. scrubbing).
Current integrity checks (i.e., comparing version numbers, etc.) should
take care of all the cases that result in rescanning the device for bad
blocks or falling back to the BBT as found in the mirror descriptor.

Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we
should return a proper error status and print a more informative
warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers
of the BBT scan.
Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit
more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else"
clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit.
This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.

There are a few reasons not to ignore ECC errors here.
First, mtd->read_oob is being called in raw mode, so there should be no
error correction in the first place.
Second, if we change this such that there *is* error correction in this
function, then we will want to pass the error message upward.
In fact, the code I introduced to "ignore ECC errors" would have been
better if it had just placed this test down in `scan_block_full()' in
the first place. We would like to ignore ECC errors when we are simply
checking for bad block markers (e.g., factory marked), but we may not
want to ignore ECC errors when scanning OOB for a flash-based BBT
pattern (in `scan_read_raw()'; note that the return codes from
`scan_read_raw()' are not actually handled yet).

Implement a new ioctl for writing both page data and OOB to flash at the
same time. This ioctl is intended to be a generic interface that can
replace other ioctls (MEMWRITEOOB and MEMWRITEOOB64) and cover the
functionality of several other old ones, e.g., MEMWRITE can:
* write autoplaced OOB instead of using ECCGETLAYOUT (deprecated) and
working around the reserved areas
* write raw (no ECC) OOB instead of using MTDFILEMODE to set the
per-file-descriptor MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW
* write raw (no ECC) data instead of using MTDFILEMODE
(MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW) and using standard character device "write"
This ioctl is especially useful for MLC NAND, which cannot be written
twice (i.e., we cannot successfully write the page data and OOB in two
separate operations). Instead, MEMWRITE can write both in a single
operation.
Note that this ioctl is not affected by the MTD file mode (i.e.,
MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW vs. MTD_FILE_MODE_NORMAL), since it receives its write
mode as an input parameter.

These modes hold their state only for the life of their file descriptor,
and they overlap functionality with the MTD_OPS_* modes. Particularly,
MTD_MODE_RAW and MTD_OPS_RAW cover the same function: to provide raw
(i.e., without ECC) access to the flash. In fact, although it may not be
clear, MTD_MODE_RAW implied that operations should enable the
MTD_OPS_RAW mode.
Thus, we should be specific on what each mode means. This is a start,
where MTD_FILE_MODE_* actually represents a "file mode," not necessarily
a true global MTD mode.

This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on
hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A
driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a
normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the
lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE
based on the MTD file mode.
For now, most drivers can get away with just setting:
chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob
This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above,
you must supply your own replacement function.
This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls
on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as
follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying
ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly),
contrary to the `--noecc' option.
I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes
ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support
a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw
OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw
mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the
problems by:
1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting
to MTD_OOB_PLACE
2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob'
3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this
function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current
hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing
either with or without ECC
This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

Previous generations of MTDs all used OOB sizes that were powers of 2,
(e.g., 64, 128). However, newer generations of flash, especially NAND,
use irregular OOB sizes that are not powers of 2 (e.g., 218, 224, 448).
This means we cannot use masks like "mtd->oobsize - 1" to assume that we
will get a proper bitmask for OOB operations.
These masks are really only intended to hide the "page" portion of the
offset, leaving any OOB offset intact, so a masking with the writesize
(which *is* always a power of 2) is valid and makes more sense.
