[PATCH v7 0/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change write and erase functions

[Tokunori Ikegami]

The changes are to make sure to check the operation status.
Actually the flash write and erase error behavior is caused on our products.
The flash is Macronix flash device MX29GL512FHT2I-11G used by our products.
The patch series was separated for changes of flash write and erase.
Since those were not depended each other at the time.
But by additional changes the changes are related more as same way currently.
So combine patch series for the flash write and erase changes as v6.

[PATCH v7 1/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change write buffer to check correct value

[Tokunori Ikegami]

For the word write it is checked if the chip has the correct value.
But it is not checked for the write buffer as only checked if ready.
To make sure for the write buffer change to check the value.

It is enough as this patch is only checking the last written word.
Since it is described by data sheets to check the operation status.

[PATCH v7 2/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change definition naming to retry write operation

[Tokunori Ikegami]

The definition can be used for other program and erase operations also.
So change the naming to MAX_RETRIES from MAX_WORD_RETRIES.

[PATCH v7 3/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change erase functions to retry for error

[Tokunori Ikegami]

For the word write functions it is retried for error.
But it is not implemented to retry for the erase functions.
To make sure for the erase functions change to retry as same.

This is needed to prevent the flash erase error caused only once.
It was caused by the error case of chip_good() in the do_erase_oneblock().
Also it was confirmed on the MACRONIX flash device MX29GL512FHT2I-11G.
But the error issue behavior is not able to reproduce at this moment.
The flash controller is parallel Flash interface integrated on BCM53003.

[PATCH v7 4/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change erase functions to check chip good only

[Tokunori Ikegami]

Currently the functions use to check both chip ready and good.
But the chip ready is not enough to check the operation status.
So change this to check the chip good instead of this.
About the retry functions to make sure the error handling remain it.

[PATCH v7 5/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change erase one block to enable XIP once

To enable XIP it is executed both normal and error cases.
This call can be moved after the for loop as same with erase chip.

Is this really a bug fix? Doesn't look like a bug fix to me.

Also, every time you add Cc stable you should try to find the commit
that introduced the bug. Sometime it's not possible because the bug
existed before git was in use, but most of the time you'll find the
offending commit using git blame.

A fixes tag should be formatted like that:

Fixes: <commit-id> ("commit subject")

RE: [PATCH v7 5/5] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change erase one block to enable XIP once

[IKEGAMI Tokunori]

Hi Boris-san,

Thanks for your reviewing and advices.

> Is this really a bug fix? Doesn't look like a bug fix to me.

  No as you mentioned it is not a bug fix but just a refactoring to reduce xip_enable() line.

  Okay I will do that in future.

  This is just FYI.
  I have just confirmed that the xip_enable() line itself was implemented by the commit 02b15e343aeef.
  For this patch it is not a bug fix so I will not add the Fixes line into the commit message.
  But if needed it please let me know that.

Regards,
Ikegami

Hi Boris-san,

I have just sent v8 version patch series and it changed the 5/5 patch only.

> Then you should drop the Cc: stable tag.

  Yes just dropped it from 5/5 patch only by the v8 version patch series.

Hi,

Sorry changelogs have not been described by the v7 patches so let me send mail about this.
There is no change from the v6 patches but just changed the commit messages to change and add CC lines as below.

  1. Change
    - Cc: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@infinera.com>
    + Reviewed-by: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@infinera.com>

  2. Add
    + Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
