1887f517e3 [MTD] CORE mtdchar.c: fix off-by-one error in lseek()
Allow lseek(mtdchar_fd, 0, SEEK_END) to succeed, which currently fails
with EINVAL.

lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END) should result into the same fileposition as
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET) + read(fd, buf, length(fd))

Furthermore, lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) should return the current file position,
which in case of an encountered EOF should not result in EINVAL

7bc3312bef [MTD] NAND: Fix breakage all over the place
Following problems are addressed:

- wrong status caused early break out of nand_wait()
- removed the bogus status check in nand_wait() which
  is a relict of the abandoned support for interrupted
  erase.
- status check moved to the correct place in read_oob
- oob support for syndrom based ecc with strange layouts
- use given offset in the AUTOOOB based oob operations

Partially based on a patch from Vitaly Vool <vwool@ru.mvista.com>
Thanks to Savin Zlobec <savin@epico.si> for tracking down the
status problem.

73c619ea0e [MTD] Disconnect struct mtd_info from ABI
mtdchar.c direcly copied part of struct mtd_info to userspace, thereby
implicitly making it part of the ABI.  With this patch, struct
mtd_info is independent of the ABI and can have its fields removed,
reordered, etc.

f1a28c0284 [MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspace
The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

9a1fcdfd4b [MTD] NAND Signal that a bitflip was corrected by ECC
Return -EUCLEAN on read when a bitflip was detected and corrected, so the
clients can react and eventually copy the affected block to a spare one.

8593fbc68b [MTD] Rework the out of band handling completely
Hopefully the last iteration on this!

The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.

The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.

read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:

- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)

struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.

Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:

MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.

MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.

The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.

Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario

Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.

Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!

4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
