Massimo Cirillo 646fd12784 cache invalidation error for buffered write
The bug causes corruptions of data read from flash.

The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len"
in do_write_buffer().  Since len and adr could be updated in the code
before invalidation - it causes improper setting of cache invalidation
regions.

Pavel Emelyanov ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

Linus Torvalds 355aaffdaf Reinstate lost flush_ioremap_region() fix to pxa2xx-flash driver
Commit 90833fdab8 ("[ARM] 4554/1: replace
consistent_sync() with flush_ioremap_region()") introduced a new
"flush_ioremap_region()" function to be used by the MTD mainstone-flash
and lubbock-flash drivers to fix a regression from around 2.6.18.

Those drivers were independently merged into a single driver by Todd
Poynor in commit e644f7d628 ("[MTD] MAPS:
Merge Lubbock and Mainstone drivers into common PXA2xx driver")

Later, those two commits were merged into the main MTD tree by commit
b160292cc2 ("Merge Linux 2.6.23") by David
Woodhouse, but in that merge, the fix to use flush_iomap_region() got
lost (as it was to files that now no longer existed).

This reinstates the fix in the new driver.

Artem Bityutskiy e8823bd63d UBI: fix atomic LEB change problems
When the UBI device is nearly full, i.e. all LEBs are mapped, we have
only one spare LEB left - the one we reserved for WL purposes. Well,
I do not count the LEBs which were reserved for bad PEB handling -
suppose NOR flash for simplicity. If an "atomic LEB change operation"
is run, and the WL unit is moving a LEB, we have no spare LEBs to
finish the operation and fail, which is not good. Moreover, if there
are 2 or more simultanious "atomic LEB change" requests, only one of
them has chances to succeed, the other will fail with -ENOSPC. Not
good either.

This patch does 2 things:
1. Reserves one PEB for the "atomic LEB change" operation.
2. Serealize the operations so that only on of them may run
   at a time (by means of a mutex).

Similar reason as in case of the previous patch: it causes

We also need mutexes to protect the buffers, but they do not
cause much contantion because they are used in recovery, torture,
and WL copy routines, which are called seldom.

Jesper Juhl 0169b49d52 UBI: don't use array index before testing if it is negative
I can't find anything guaranteeing that 'ubi_num' cannot be <0 in
drivers/mtd/ubi/kapi.c::ubi_open_volume(), and in fact the code
even tests for that and errors out if so. Unfortunately the test
for "ubi_num < 0" happens after we've already used 'ubi_num' as
an array index - bad thing to do if it is negative.
This patch moves the test earlier in the function and then moves
the indexing using that variable after the check. A bit safer :-)

Artem Bityutskiy 49dc08eeda [MTD] [OneNAND] fix numerous races
This patch make the OneNAND driver much less racy. It fixes
our "onenand_wait: read timeout!" heisenbugs. The reason of
these bugs was that the driver did not lock the chip when
accessing OTP, and it screwed up OneNAND state when the OTP
was read while JFFS2 was doing FS checking.

This patch also fixes other races I spotted:
1. BBT was not protected
2. Access to ecc_stats was not protected

Now the chip is locked when BBT is accessed.

To fix all of these I basically split all interface functions
on 'function()' and 'function_nolock()' parts.

I tested this patch on N800 hardware - it fixes our problems.
But I tested a little different version because our OneNAND
codebase is slightly out-of-date. But it should be OK.

This patch also includes the prin fixes I posted before.

has 64MiB of address space.  The 2nd BAR of the Expansion Bus PCI Device
is a 256MiB memory region containing the address spaces for all four of
the chip selects, with start addresses hardcoded on 64MiB boundaries.

This map driver only supports NOR flash on chip select 0.  The buswidth
(either 8 bits or 16 bits) is determined by reading the Expansion Bus Timing
and Control Register for Chip Select 0 (EXP_TIMING_CS0).

	- Clarify some printk()s and other informative strings.
	- parse_obsolete_partitions() now returns 0 if no partition
information is found, instead of returning -ENOENT which the caller
had to handle specially.
	- (the big one) Despite the name, this driver really has
nothing to do with drivers/mtd/physmap.c.  The fact that the flash
chips must be physically direct mapped is a constrant, but doesn't
really say anything about the actual purpose of this driver, which is
to instantiate MTD devices based on information from the device tree.
Therefore the physmap name is replaced everywhere within the file with
"of_flash".  The file itself and the Kconfig option is not renamed for
now (so that the diff is actually a diff).  That can come later.

Josh Boyer 8d9ae994d8 [POWERPC] Make partitions optional in physmap_of
The latest physmap_of driver has a small error where it will fail the probe
with:

physmap-flash: probe of fff00000.small-flas failed with error -2

if there are no partition subnodes in the device tree and the old style binding
is not used.  Since partition definitions are optional, the probe should still
succeed.
