[PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

[PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

[AYYANARPONNUSAMY GANGHEYAMOORTHY]

Currently JFFS2 writes twice to the first page of the block,
cleanmarker in OOB area and data in main area, which prevents
JFFS2 from being used on MLC devices which have NOP count 1.
This patch reserves the first page only for the cleanmarker.

Note : With robustness testing, one test board out six has
given a BUG. We are looking into it.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

[Jason Liu]

Could you send out the panic log? How do you perform the robustness test.
Currently, I found the jffs2 filesystem can't support MLC well. Not
long time ago,
I use the patch JFFS2 doesn't use OOB at MLC NAND/OneNAND from
Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park at samsung.com> on Sumsung MLC nand flash
K9LAG08U0M, but sometimes i will meet BUG() on the jffs2 file system. I suspect
that that patch does not completely handle MLC nand flash well. How
about this patch?

Re: [PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

Hi,

Is it reasonable to waste the first page at each blocks?
It wastes 1/128 storages e.g., 512MiB/128 = 4MiB.
How about to unuse the oob cleanmarker at previous email sent by me?

I'm not sure why the oob cleanmaker makes a problem at runtime?

And small coding synmatic problem at patche. See below.

Thank you,

As previously, define MTD_OOB_WRITEABLE instead of WRITABLE_ONCE.
SLC NAND has WRITEABLE | OOB_WRITEABLE, but MLC NAND has WRITEABLE only

        - I will look into this.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

[Jason Liu]

Hi,
    I have looked into the log file. I notice the oops in the log
file is the same i often meet with MLC nand after apply  the patch
JFFS2 doesn't use OOB at MLC NAND/OneNAND from Kyungmin Park, it seems
that jffs2 file system may have serious issues. I have strong feeling
that jffs2 files system is far from production level at least for MLC
nand flash. David, do you have any comments?

Re: [PATCH 1/2] [MTD] [JFFS2] MLC NAND support

[Amit Kumar Sharma]

We are also facing many difficulty in robustness and 
reliability test with Jffs2 not only this we have tested our 
MLC patches on kernel 2.6.22 their Jffs2 stability was 
little bit higher as compare to  2.6.27 , not only this LTP 
file tests and rw test fails with Jffs2 and same driver 
works fine with yaffs2 but yaffs2 also has issue with 
Symlink operation  we are working for that.

Have you tries UBIFS?

no we have started working for UBIFS , very soon we will 
start working for UBIFS , let u know results.

Note, JFFS2 is not really suitable for MLC because it has
random wear-leveling algorithm, and it may erase one eraseblock
thousands of times, while erasing the other eraseblock only hundreds of
times.

In UBI you may set the WL threshold to control this. Also, JFFS2
does not really help with read-disturb problem, but this is fixable.

UBI refreshes data when it meets a bit-flip.

However, UBIFS is not really ready to handle this paired page problem.
I mean, in MLC, if you interrupt power during write operation, this
may result in corruptions in one of the previous NAND page. The only
simple way to fix this is to make UBIFS assume that min. I/O unit size
is not one NAND page, but several pages, so that both paired NAND pages
were in one min. I/O unit.

Thanks Artem for pre information , your information I hope 
will be useful for us and we will consider your points 
during UBIFS with OneNAND-FlexOneNAND.
