[PATCH RESEND 0/4] mtd: extend support for "fixed-partitions"

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal-g1n6cQUeyibVItvQsEIGlw@public.gmane.org>

RESENDING with DT guys included, sorry for the mistake.

My recent work on adding wide support for linux,part-probe was reviewed and
kind of Nack-ed, but fortunately I was pointed to the old (!) patchset from
Brian doing similar thing in a cleaner way.

This patchset picks the important changes from Brian, cleans them and rebases.

At this point this simply adds a full support for "fixed-partitions" binding.
It should also make adding new bindings easier in the future.

I've successfully tested this with bcm47xxsflash driver on Tenda AC9 device. I
used following DT node to get "ofpart" driver parse & register my partitions.

&bcma-sflash {
	partitions {
		compatible = "fixed-partitions";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;

		partition@0 {
			label = "cfe";
			reg = <0x0000000 0x40000>;
			read-only;
		};

		firmware@40000 {
			label = "firmware";
			reg = <0x40000 0x7f0000>;
		};
	};
};

Brian: I took your patches so I preserved your Signed-off-by, but please review
these changes to make sure I didn't do anything nasty there.

Hi Rafał,

Thanks for drudging up my old work. This is something that's been stuck
too far down in my stack of TODOs that it essentially timed out...

I mentioned the missing changelog on IRC, but to fill in the gaps:
essentially you've dropped the partition parser and associated bindings
I had in my series (for the 'Google FMAP' format). That's fine, but I
just wanted to note it.

And with that, I think you've not quite nailed the purpose of my
original patch. This now seems to suggest there are other potential
bindings here, but then you leave the reader hanging. One note to that
effect below. If that's the only objection, then I can make the
additions myself when applying.

We've suggested above that there may be "different ways" (fixed vs.
on-flash tables) to partition, but then we still only describe one way.
Maybe we can just paste something like this as a caveat before moving
on?

"We currently only document a binding for fixed layouts."

We can delete that in the presumed follow-up that proposes the
"on-flash" parser bindings. Sound OK?

[PATCH V2 0/4] mtd: extend support for "fixed-partitions"

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal-g1n6cQUeyibVItvQsEIGlw@public.gmane.org>

My recent work on adding wide support for linux,part-probe was reviewed and
kind of Nack-ed, but fortunately I was pointed to the old (!) patchset from
Brian doing similar thing in a cleaner way.

This patchset picks the important changes from Brian, cleans them and rebases.

Original patches:
(not picked) [RFC PATCH 1/7] mtd: move partition parsers to drivers/mtd/partitions/
(not picked) [RFC PATCH 2/7] mtd: move partition parsers' Kconfig under a sub-menu
(partially)  [RFC PATCH 3/7] doc: dt: mtd: partition: add on-flash format binding
(picked)     [RFC PATCH 4/7] mtd: add of_match_mtd_parser() and of_mtd_match_mtd_parser() helpers
(partially)  [RFC PATCH 5/7] mtd: partitions: factor out "match by name" handling
(picked)     [RFC PATCH 6/7] RFC: mtd: partitions: enable of_match_table matching
(not picked) [RFC PATCH 7/7] mtd: partitions: add Google's FMAP partition parser

At this point this simply adds a full support for "fixed-partitions" binding.
It should also make adding new bindings (like Google's FMAP) easier in the
future.

I've successfully tested this with bcm47xxsflash driver on Tenda AC9 device. I

Since patch 3 adds specifying methods through the compatible of the
partitions subnode, maybe we should document that here? Something
along

"To assist system software in locating partitions, we allow describing
which method is used for a given flash device. To describe the method
there should be a subnode of the flash device that is named
'partitions'. It must have a 'compatible' property, which is used to
identify the method to use."

[PATCH V2 3/4] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Brian Norris <computersforpeace-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
flash<-->parser matching via device tree.

This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

Hm, maybe iterate over the compatibles, so parsers matching the most
specific compatible get precedence in case there is more than one
compatible? Currently it will match the first one that matches any
compatible, and registration order of parsers can change that. I'm
thinking of parsers that partially rely on fixed, unprobable layouts,
so can use "fixed-partitions" as a fallback compatible.

E.g. having something like this

partitions {
        compatible = "sample,custom-layout", "fixed-partitions";

        bootloader@0 { ...  };

        firmware@10000 { .... }; /* will be split by the parser */

        extra@780000 { .... }; /* partition the on-flash format can't specify */
};

Where you will still be able to write an image raw to the image
partition even if the "custom-layout"-parser isn't present/enabled,
but if it is present, it should always be used.

Jonas

I see the point, but I'm afraid we're lacking some DT helper for this. See
below for the function I wrote (and I'm not proud of) - compile tested only.

I think we would need a new helper similar to the of_match_node:
1) Taking const struct of_device_id *matches
2) Taking const struct device_node *node
but returning a score of the best match.

DT guys: any comment on this? Rob?

Would this be acceptable to:
1) Take this patch as is as Linux current doesn't support other bindings
2) Work on DT helper + mtd modification in a separated patchset?

static struct mtd_part_parser *mtd_part_get_parser_by_of(struct mtd_info *mtd)
{
	struct mtd_part_parser *p, *ret = NULL;
	struct device_node *np;
	struct property *prop;
	const char *cp;

	np = mtd_get_of_node(mtd);
	np = of_get_child_by_name(np, "partitions");
	if (!np)
		return NULL;

	spin_lock(&part_parser_lock);

	of_property_for_each_string(np, "compatible", prop, cp) {
		list_for_each_entry(p, &part_parsers, list) {
			const struct of_device_id *matches;

			for (matches = p->of_match_table;
			     matches->name[0] || matches->type[0] || matches->compatible[0];
			     matches++) {
				if (!of_compat_cmp(cp, matches->compatible, strlen(matches->compatible)) &&
				    try_module_get(p->owner)) {
					ret = p;
					break;
				}
			}

			if (ret)
				break;
		}

		if (ret)
			break;
	}

	spin_unlock(&part_parser_lock);

	of_node_put(np);

	return ret;
}

[PATCH V2 4/4] mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions"

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal-g1n6cQUeyibVItvQsEIGlw@public.gmane.org>

This allows using this parser with any flash driver that takes care of
setting of_node (using mtd_set_of_node helper) correctly. Up to now
support for "fixed-partitions" DT compatibility string was working only
with flash drivers that were specifying "ofpart" (manually or by letting
mtd use the default set of parsers).

This matches existing bindings documentation.

Could have used a changelog to note dropping the
mtd_part_parser_get_by_name() refactoring. Also the corresponding change
in subject (from "mtd: partitions: factor out "match by name"
handling").

But this seems fine to me.

[PATCH RESEND 3/4] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Brian Norris <computersforpeace-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
flash<-->parser matching via device tree.

This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

Seems like a valid refactoring of my original work, esp. given that
of_mtd.c went away since then:

[PATCH RESEND 4/4] mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions"

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal-g1n6cQUeyibVItvQsEIGlw@public.gmane.org>

This allows using this parser with any flash driver that takes care of
setting of_node (using mtd_set_of_node helper) correctly. Up to now
support for "fixed-partitions" DT compatibility string was working only
with flash drivers that were specifying "ofpart" (manually or by letting
mtd use the default set of parsers).

This matches existing bindings documentation.

Seems OK to me. I think this means we can even get away without putting
"ofpart" in the "probe type" arrays in drivers now, if we don't care
about the legacy binding. Probably not gonna happen for existing
drivers, but at least it helps going forward. And of course, it provides
a starting example for new partition-parser compatible properties, if
that's the way we go.
