9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

187ef15268 [MTD] Unlock NOR flash automatically where necessary
Introduce the MTD_STUPID_LOCK flag which indicates that the flash chip is
always locked after power-up, so all sectors need to be unlocked before it
is usable.

If this flag is set, and the chip provides an unlock() operation,
mtd_add_device will unlock the whole MTD device if it's writeable.  This
means that non-writeable partitions will stay locked.

Set MTD_STUPID_LOCK in fixup_use_atmel_lock() so that these chips will work
as expected.

0165508c80 MTD: Add lock/unlock operations for Atmel AT49BV6416
The AT49BV6416 is locked by default, so we really need to provide
at least the unlock() operation for write and erase to work. This
patch implements both ->lock() and ->unlock() and provides a fixup
to install them when an AT49BV6416 chip is detected.

These functions are probably valid on more Atmel chips, but I believe
it's mostly obsolete ones. The AT49BV6416 is in fact obsolete, but
it's used on all current AT32STK1000 development boards.

46a1652c28 [MTD] Fixes of performance and stability issues in CFI driver.
Fix of performance and stability issues on Intel NOR chips. It fixes:

1. Very low write performance on Sibley (perf tests demonstrated write
   performance less than 100Kb/sec when it should be over 400Kb/sec).

2. Low erase performance. (perf tests on Sibleuy demonstrated erase
   performance 246Kb/sec when it should be over 300Kb/sec).

3. Error on JFFS2 tests with CPU loading application when MTD returns
   "block erase error: (status timeout)" To fix the issue it does the
   following:
     1. Removes the timeout tuning from inval_cache_and_wait_for_operation.
     2. Waiting conditions in inval_cache_and_wait_for_operation now is
         based on timer resolution
        If timeout is lower than timer resolution then we do in cycle
	  "Checking the status"
	  udelay(1);
	  cond_resched();
        If timeout is greater than timer resolution (probably erase
        operation) We do the following
	  sleep for half of operation timeout and do in cycle the following
	    "Checking the status"
	    sleep for timer resolution

not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc()
fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to
be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage,
and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl()
fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it
possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets
rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than
80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed.

With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2
as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this:

   root=/dev/mtdblock0
   append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536"

(Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries
filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev").

Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the
parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the
global array is marked as __initdata.

Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed.

Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd
driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot
open device ""'
