2013-05-06mtd_blktrans_ops->release() should return voidAl Viro1-1/+1
Both existing instances always return 0 and even if they didn't, the value would be lost on the way out. Just don't bother... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-11-21mtd: mtd_blkdevs: Replace request handler kthread with a workqueueEzequiel Garcia1-1/+3
By replacing a kthread with a workqueue, the code is now a bit clearer. There's also a slight reduction of code size (numbers apply for x86): Before: text data bss dec hex filename 3248 36 0 3284 cd4 drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 3150 36 0 3186 c72 drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o Due to lack of real hardware, tests have been performed on an emulated environment with mtdswap and mtdblock over nandsim devices. Some real testing should be done, before merging this patch. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-03-27mtd: mtdblock: call mtd_sync() only if opened for writeAlexander Stein1-0/+1
Because it is useless to call it if the device is opened in R/O mode, and also harmful: on CFI NOR flash it may block for long time waiting for erase operations to complete is another partition with a R/W file-system on this chip. Artem Bityutskiy: write commit message, amend the patch to match the latest tree (we use mtd_sync(), not mtd->sync() nowadays).

NOTE! This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()' function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option. To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits which do not compile. In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the upstream tree, and the fixup patch.
2011-03-11mtd_blkdevs: Add background processing supportJarkko Lavinen1-0/+2
Add a new background method into mtd_blktrans_ops, add background support into mtd_blktrans_thread(), and add mtd_blktrans_cease_background(). If the mtd blktrans dev has the background support, the thread will call background function when the request queue becomes empty. The background operation may run as long as needs to until mtd_blktrans_cease_background() tells to stop.

2010-02-26mtd: blktrans: allow FTL drivers to export sysfs attributesMaxim Levitsky1-0/+2
This patch adds an ability to export sysfs attributes below the block disk device. This can be used to pass the udev an information about the FTL and could include the vendor, serial, version, etc...

2010-02-26mtd: blktrans: Hotplug fixesMaxim Levitsky1-0/+3
* Add locking where it was missing. * Don't do a get_mtd_device in blktrans_open because it would lead to a deadlock; instead do that in add_mtd_blktrans_dev. * Only free the mtd_blktrans_dev structure when the last user exits. * Flush request queue on device removal. * Track users, and call tr->release in del_mtd_blktrans_dev Due to that ->open and release aren't called more that once. Now it is safe to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev while the device is still in use. Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2010-02-26mtd: blktrans: remove mtd_blkcore_priv, switch to per device queue and threadMaxim Levitsky1-5/+5
This is the biggest change. To make hotplug possible, and this layer clean, the mtd_blktrans_dev now contains everything for a single mtd block translation device. Also removed some very old leftovers. Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2008-06-04MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywordsAdrian Bunk1-2/+0
Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS. This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code. This also includes code that printed them to the user. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-11-29[MTD] Allow variable block sizes in mtd_blkdevsRichard Purdie1-1/+2
Currently, mtd_blkdevs enforces a block size of 512, even if the drivers can seemingly request a different size. This patch fixes mtd_blkdevs so block sizes other than 512 work correctly. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@openedhand.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+72
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
