Subject: Mtd alignment bug affecting 1.4.X including current git
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 07:48:33 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D9091B1.80002@silka.with-linux.com> (raw)

Hello,

Hey there's a problem with mtd-utils starting with commit 
5dd7d09648bd4c1c87e7c155b960e500925571db
Versions starting with 1.4.X fail.
A SheevaPlug user report the problem, so I git bisected it.
The output from flash_eraseall is at the bottom (the alignments are all 
off by 2).
I looked at the problem and found (in current git) that it's passing 
"offset + clmpos".
I'm pretty sure that clmpos is 2 in this case.  mtd_write_oob is passing 
this to do_oob_op
as "start". do_oob_op is verifying alignment, but it's off by 2 so it fails.
It should be relatively easy to fix.  You probably need to check all of 
the calls to mtd_write_oob
and mtd_read_oob for proper behaviour.  If you create a patch I'll test 
it for you.

flash_erase.c:275
         if (isNAND) {
             if (mtd_write_oob(mtd_desc, &mtd, fd, offset + clmpos, 
clmlen, &cleanmarker) != 0) {
                 sys_errmsg("%s: MTD writeoob failure", mtd_device);
                 continue;
             }
         } else {


libmtd.c:1166
int mtd_write_oob(libmtd_t desc, const struct mtd_dev_info *mtd, int fd,
           uint64_t start, uint64_t length, void *data)
{
     return do_oob_op(desc, mtd, fd, start, length, data,
              MEMWRITEOOB64, MEMWRITEOOB);
}

libmtd.c:1105
     if (start % mtd->min_io_size) {
         errmsg("unaligned address %llu, mtd%d page size is %d",
                (unsigned long long)start, mtd->mtd_num,
                mtd->min_io_size);
         errno = EINVAL;
         return -1;
     }


5dd7d09648bd4c1c87e7c155b960e500925571db is the first bad commit

     mtd: change flash_eraseall to use libmtd-wrapped ioctls

     ERASE/ERASE64 were tested on 2.6.18 and 2.6.31. OOB is untested.
