[U-Boot] [PATCH resend V2 1/3] mtd: nand: mxs support oobsize bigger than 512

If ecc chunk data size is 512 and oobsize is bigger than 512, there is a chance that block_mark_bit_offset conflicts with bch ecc area.
The following graph is modified from kernel gpmi-nand.c driver with each data block 512 bytes. We can see that Block Mark conflicts with ecc area from bch view. We can enlarge the ecc chunk size to avoid this problem to those oobsize which is larger than 512.
| P | |<----------------------------------------------------------------->| | | | (Block Mark) | | P' | | | | |<--------------------------------------------------->| D | | O'| | |<--------->| |<->| V V V V V +---+--------------+-+--------------+-+--------------+-+----------+-+---+ | M | data |E| data |E| data |E| data |E| | +---+--------------+-+--------------+-+--------------+-+----------+-+---+ ^ ^ | O | |<---------------->|
P : the page size for BCH module. E : The ECC strength. G : the length of Galois Field. N : The chunk count of per page. M : the metasize of per page. C : the ecc chunk size, aka the "data" above. P': the nand chip's page size. O : the nand chip's oob size. O': the free oob.

You can send pull request for patch 1 and 3. The 3 patches are independent on each other. I'll repost patch 2 when the is_cpu_type patch set merged to uboot upstream master branch with your Acked-by. Then imx or nand tree, both are ok.

My bad. I only take mx6 into consideration when I did this patch.
(among other failed targets)
I tried to fix it by including asm/arch-imx/cpu.h, but then got undefined reference to is_cpu_type().
Now is_cpu_type() is common to all i.MXes, but need this patch http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commitdiff;h=bf3303c98b23a29d9... which is still in imx tree now. After applying the following patches, is_cpu_type should work. http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commit;h=7c015efa7f28911d538dd... http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commit;h=8b647df9cae0ca65656cc... http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commit;h=3e26a2224a828cd07d1d1... http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commit;h=11caa3fa9dae79864726f... http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-imx.git;a=commit;h=bf3303c98b23a29d99acc...
Then do you need me to repost this patch after the upper five patches in imx tree merge into uboot master branch, or the 3 patches in this patchset go through imx tree? https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498048/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498049/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498050/

I already have patches 1 and 3 applied locally, and will probably send a pull request as soon as buildman finishes. Let me know if you want me to send that, and then you can send patch 2 through imx, or if you want me to pull patches 1 and 3 out so all can go via imx.
You can send pull request for patch 1 and 3. The 3 patches are independent on each other. I'll repost patch 2 when the is_cpu_type patch set merged to uboot upstream master branch with your Acked-by. Then imx or nand tree, both are ok.
Fine with me.

Enlarge it to 1024 bytes. In normal case the Block Mark bit should locates at the data part, but not at the ECC area. You can take the following as an example.

"D" is in the diagram but not the key. "G", "N", and "C" are in the key but not the diagram.
C is ecc chunk data size, same the data area. Here it is 512 bytes. N is chunk count. for exmaple page size is 2048 bytes, ecc chunk data size is 512 bytes, then N is 2048/512. G is the Galois Field, its value is 13 or 14. The should be got from reference mannual. D is in the digram , but not the key. I think it is enougth to show why this patch is done.
I put the digram here to show that Block Mark may conflicts with ECC area, and this is wrong, we need to find a way to avoid this. And the way is to enlarge the ecc chunk data size from 512 to 1024 bytes.
I did not put the formula here. The keys is same to keys in kernel gpmi-nand.c.
The formula for P is :
E * G * N P = ------------ + P' + M 8
The position of block mark moves forward in the ECC-based view of page, and the delta is:
E * G * (N - 1) D = (---------------- + M) 8
I think there is no need to put the formula in commit msg. Also, to explain D is not relevant to this patch.

You mean I need to add this in commit msg and send out a new patch version? Or you pick this one?

No. To read/write with ecc enabled, the block mark will be swapped with byte in metadata area. This is correct way for GPMI + BCH to perform nand reading/writing with ecc enabled. See following: 645 /* Read DMA completed, now do the mark swapping. */ 646 mxs_nand_swap_block_mark(mtd, nand_info->data_buf, nand_info->oob_buf);
When GPMI + BCH used for DMA read, meta data will be stored to oob_buf. Then swap the data at Block Mark with data at oob_buf[0](actually metadata[0]).
Before DMA write, Block Mark will be swapped with metadata[0]. Then DMA write. Then Block Mark should not conlicts with ECC area, but ok with DATA area. Anyway Block Mark should be aways points to bit at a data block.
You can take the following as an example.

10 bytes.
But what does it mean?
BCH layout for data stored in nand page: Meta + DATA + ECC + DATA + ECC + DATA + ECC + DATA + ECC
After usind DMA read, the layout in buffer is following: DATA + DATA + DATA + DATA | META + status of each data block stored in data buffer | stored in oob buffer
Hope this is clear.
Peng.

If ecc chunk data size is 512 and oobsize is bigger than 512, there is a chance that block_mark_bit_offset conflicts with bch ecc area.
The following graph is modified from kernel gpmi-nand.c driver with each data block 512 bytes. We can see that Block Mark conflicts with ecc area from bch view. We can enlarge the ecc chunk size to avoid this problem to those oobsize which is larger than 512.
Enlarge it by how much? What does the layout look like in that case?
Enlarge it to 1024 bytes.
Then say so in the changelog.
You mean I need to add this in commit msg and send out a new patch version? Or you pick this one?
This discussion is becoming ridiculous, can we please get this bugfix applied ? If you don't like some minor details in the commit message, can you please fix them while applying ?
Thanks

Yes, I can edit the changelog while applying, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to complain about a difficult-to-understand changelog, and I still would like to understand what is actually going on here. Don't assume I'm familiar with this hardware or its unusual page layout. You can help by explaining things, or you can not help by throwing a fit...

I can point you to MX28 datasheet [1] chapter 16.2.2 and onward if you want to educate yourself, it's all explained there, concisely and clearly.

Thanks. That preempted a question I was just about to ask Peng, because it wasn't clear that the meta area was covered by ECC.

In mxs_nand.c driver, we use "Combined Metadata & Block 0, unbalanced ECC coverage" layout from chapter 16.2.2 of MX28 datasheet.

Hi Scott,
Do you have plan to pick the 3 patches?
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498050/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498049/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498048/
If not, then I prefer these 3 patches can go throught i.mx tree.
Thanks, Peng.
