To support NFS export, we need to know the parent inode of directories.
Rather than growing the jffs2_inode_cache structure, share space with
the nlink field -- which was always set to 1 for directories anyway.

We don't actually care about nlink; we only care whether the inode in

Commit a7a6ace1

 revamped the OOB
handling but accidentally switched to 12-byte cleanmarkers, which is
incompatible with what 'flash_eraseall -j' will do. So using
flash_eraseall -j and then trying to mount the 'empty' flash will fail,
because the cleanmarkers aren't recognised.

We've seen some evil corruption issues, where the corruption seems to be
introduced after the JFFS2 crc32 is calculated but before the NAND
controller calculates the ECC. So it's in RAM or in the PCI DMA
transfer; not on the flash. Attempt to catch it earlier by (optionally)
reading back from the flash immediately after writing it.

After a write error, any data in the write buffer must
be relocated.  This is handled by the jffs2_wbuf_recover
function.  This function does not fix up the erase block
summary information that is collected for writing at the
end of the block, which results in an incorrect summary
(or BUG if the summary was found to be empty).

As the summary is not essential (it is an optimisation),
it may be disabled for the current erase block when this
situation arises.  This patch does that.

For the case when nand_write_page fail with -EIO for the first page in an

Nowadays MTD supports an MTD_OOB_AUTO option which allows users
to access free bytes in NAND's OOB as a contiguous buffer, although
it may be highly discontinuous.

This patch teaches JFFS2 to use this nice feature instead of the
old MTD_OOB_PLACE option. This for example caused problems with
OneNAND. Now JFFS2 does not care how are the free bytes situated.

This may change position of the clean marker on some flashes,
but this is not a problem. JFFS2 will just re-erase the empty
eraseblocks and write the new (correct) clean marker.

As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem 
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. 

The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len 
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data 
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to 
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it 
serves to specify the full OOB read length.

The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous 
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken 
into account.

Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

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!

Preallocation of refs is shortly going to be a per-eraseblock thing,

Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.

Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.
