Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: gpmi: Deal with bitflips in erased regions regions
Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2013 19:44:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387133061-6573-2-git-send-email-eliedebrauwer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387133061-6573-1-git-send-email-eliedebrauwer@gmail.com>

The BCH block typically used with a i.MX28 and GPMI block is only
able to correct bitflips on data actually streamed through the block.
When erasing a block the data does not stream through the BCH block
and therefore no ECC data is written to the NAND chip. This causes
gpmi_ecc_read_page to return failure as soon as a single non-1-bit is
found in an erased page. Typically causing problems at higher levels
(ubifs corrupted empty space warnings).

This patch configures the BCH block to mark a block as 'erased' if
no more than ecc_strength bitflips are found. Next HW_BCH_STATUS0:ALLONES
is used to check if the data read were all ones. If this was not
the case a slow path is entered where bitflips are counted and
corrected in software, allowing the upper layers to take proper actions.
