The drivers _read() method, absent an error, return a non-negative integer
indicating the maximum number of bit errors that were corrected in any one
region comprising an ecc step.  MTD returns -EUCLEAN if this is >=
bitflip_threshold, 0 otherwise.  If bitflip_threshold is zero, the comparison is
not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error
case (thanks Brian) [1].  Note that this is a subtle change to the driver
interface.

This and the preceeding patches in this set were tested with ubi on top of the
nandsim and docg4 devices, running the ubi test io_basic from mtd-utils.

Hi Mike,

Reviewed mtdcore.c, mtdpart.c and nand_base.c.
Looks very good.

Minor comments below.

Probably need {} around the statements within the conditions.

Also I think there's no reason to execute "corrected +=" in case 'res'
is zero (although no harm).

If you do set ret here, the next loop you'll do in the following statement
"	while (!ret && (len > 0 || ooblen > 0)) {" will exit because ret is not
0.

I think you should change :
>- 	while (!ret && (len > 0 || ooblen > 0)) {" will exit because ret is not
into
>- 	while (ret >= 0 && (len > 0 || ooblen > 0)) {".

With that change, please add my:
Acked-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr>

Cheers.

In my exuberance, I prematurely sent the next version of the whole set.  Artem,
Robert's requested change is in patch 7/7.  If no other problems come to light,
maybe you could consider merging the first 6?  Then I only need to prepare a
corrected version of patch 7.

Thanks,
Mike

Pushed the series to l2-mtd.git, thanks! You can send the newer version
and I'll put it instead of the older one. Do not forget to add
Acked-by's when you re-send, please.

Thanks Artem.  Since you merged all 7, the only thing remaining is the fix to
docg3 that Robert describes above.  Robert, if you would rather prepare that
patch, I defer to you.  Otherwise, I'll submit it no later than tomorrow.

Yeah, sorry Artem, I neglected to add the Acked-by's in the patches you just merged.

Oh no, go ahead, you have my blessing.

That's your opportunity to add it :)

If you know that an Acked-by or Reviewed-by was missed, let me know and
I'll add the tag(s) to the patch(es). I think it is important to be
careful about the tags because people spent their time helping to
improve the patches.

Well, I owe a debt to several reviewers, among them Brian Norris (caught the bug
that would cause all non-ecc devices to return -EUCLEAN), Shmulik Ladkani, Ivan
Djelic (reviews and tests), Scott Wood, Robert Jarzmik, yourself, ...

As far as formal tags... maybe these, if they don't object:

mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN
5568eb3c3bb2816281b6a7c04db92434b72b1495
Tested-by: Ivan Djelic <ivan.djelic@parrot.com>

mtd: nand: read_page() returns max_bitflips
6bf87bf989bfdfc78fb2c5cd55de4bab9b572992
Acked-by (freescale changes): Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

If the others feel a tag credit is appropriate, I certainly don't mind.

Thanks,
Mike

On a side note (sorry for the off-topic post):

It seems the use of the formal tags is somewhat limited.

AFAIU, Acked-by is supposed to be specified by the maintainer or major
contributor, the one in charge of the code affected, and it could
be specified to just a part of the patch.

OTOH Reviewed-by can be specified by any interested reviewer, as an
indication that the entire patch has been reviewed.

However when patches get partially reviewed by interested parties, no
formal tag is suitable.

Regards,
Shmulik

How it usually goes - if the person sends a "formal" acked-by or some
other tag which can be copy-pasted, then he cares and wants the tag to
go in with the patch. But if the person just comments on the patch,
reviews, but does not send a "formal" tag, he does not care. In this
case you may give the person a credit in free form in the commit message
optionally, if you feel very grateful.

IOW, if we missed someone's "formal" tag - let's add it - I shamelessly
rebase my tree anyway, under excuse of "I am not the maintainer" :-)
