Abhishek Sahu 9f43deee43 mtd: rawnand: qcom: erased page bitflips detection
NAND parts can have bitflips in an erased page due to the
process technology used. In this case, QCOM NAND controller
is not able to identify that page as an erased page.
Currently the driver calls nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk() for
identifying the erased pages but this won’t work always since the
checking is being with ECC engine returned data. In case of
bitflips, the ECC engine tries to correct the data and then it
generates the uncorrectable error. Now, this data is not equal to
original raw data. For erased CW identification, the raw data
should be read again from NAND device and this
nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk function() should be called for raw
data only.

Now following logic is being added to identify the erased
codeword bitflips.

1. In most of the cases, not all the codewords will have bitflips
   and only single CW will have bitflips. So, there is no need to
   read the complete raw page data. The NAND raw read can be
   scheduled for any CW in page. The NAND controller works on CW
   basis and it will update the status register after each CW read.
   Maintain the bitmask for the CW which generated the uncorrectable
   error.
2. Do raw read for all the CW's which generated the uncorrectable
   error.
3. Both DATA and OOB need to be checked for number of 0. The
   top-level API can be called with only data buf or OOB buf so use
   chip->databuf if data buf is null and chip->oob_poi if
   OOB buf is null for copying the raw bytes temporarily.
4. For each CW, check the number of 0 in cw_data and usable
   oob bytes, The bbm and spare (unused) bytes bit flip won’t
   affect the ECC so don’t check the number of bitflips in this area.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
