Brian Norris 289c052221 mtd: replace DEBUG() with pr_debug()
Start moving away from the MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL messages. The dynamic
debugging feature is a generic kernel feature that provides more
flexibility.

(See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt)

Also fix some punctuation, indentation, and capitalization that went
along with the affected lines.

Tadashi Abe 100f2341e3 mtd: fix hang-up in cfi erase and read contention
cfi erase command hangs up when erase and read contention occurs.
If read runs at the same address as erase operation, read issues
Erase-Suspend via get_chip() and the erase goes into sleep in wait queue.
But in this case, read operation exits by time-out without waking it up.

I think the other variants (0001, 0020 and lpddr) have the same problem too.
Tested and verified the patch only on CFI-0002 flash, though.

As inval_cache_and_wait_for_operation() drop and reclaim the lock
to invalidate the cache, some other thread may suspend the operation
before reaching the for(;;) loop. Therefore the loop must start with

Antony Pavlov ceabebb2bd mtd: jedec_probe: initialise make sector erase command variable
In the commit 08968041be
 (mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: make sector erase command variable)
introdused a field sector_erase_cmd. In the same commit initialisation
of cfi->sector_erase_cmd made in cfi_chip_setup()
(file drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_probe.c), so the CFI chip has no problem:

...
        cfi->cfi_mode = CFI_MODE_CFI;
        cfi->sector_erase_cmd = CMD(0x30);
...

But for the JEDEC chips this initialisation is not carried out,
so the JEDEC chips have sector_erase_cmd == 0.

This patch adds the missing initialisation.

After looking at AMD's CFI specification [1], both of the extended query
tables are optional. Thus, it looks like relying that at least one of
those tables exist is a bug in cfi_cmdset_0002.

This patch inverts the logic and checks for unlock function pointers before
exiting on error. This approach leaves place to add a call to a fixup
function to try to handle chips compatible with the early AMD specification
from 1995 [2].

Stefani Seibold c4e773764c mtd: fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers.
The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long
thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the
data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption.

For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs,
which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of
20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this
time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior
breaks real time.

The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex
into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means.

I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic
pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used
by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex.

There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not
acquired.

Changelog:
 06.03.2010 First release
 26.03.2010 Fix mutex[1] issue and tested it for compile failure

Maxim's patch to initialise sysfs attributes depends on the patch which
actually adds sysfs_attr_init().

Guillaume LECERF f3e69c6584 mtd: move more manufacturers to the common cfi.h header file
Move MANUFACTURER_MACRONIX and MANUFACTURER_SST definitions to the
include/linux/mtd/cfi.h header file and rename them to CFI_MFR_MACRONIX and
CFI_MFR_SST.

All references in drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c are updated to reflect
this.
