Could you print out the spare bytes of the oob area?

Sorry, what repo/branch did you base your original patchset on? The patchset did not 
apply correctly and this one you sent won't apply either because the function 
set_geometry_by_ecc_info() does not exist. Instead, it is called 
common_nfc_set_geometry(). I'm using a v3.10 kernel but this driver has not changed 
since then (at least in the vanilla kernel).

I took a dump in U-Boot of the first sector of the JFFS2 partition, in case it helps:

Ok I merged the linux-next MTD patches.
This is what I get from the printk:

The partition now partially mounts (I can see a few of the folders and files) but I 
get thousands of errors like these:

This error is most likely because you generated a jffs2 rootfs with a
eraseblock size that does not match the one of your NAND device.

Try generating a new rootfs with the correct eraseblock size.

No. I used 128k erase block that matches my NAND. I also checked that I can mount the 
jffs2 partition correctly using my v2.6.35 kernel, so the partition seems to be 
correctly written.

ok, we have enough spare area to store the marker.

I think this SLC should be okay with jffs2.

Please use following steps and try again:

What's the purpose of this?
This works and doesn't output any error but it's mounting an erased partition.

JFFS2_FS_DEBUG is 0. The error messages above are printed nevertheless because they 
are pr_notice() calls, not jffs2_dbg().

Please test the patch set after you have erased a partition. Since the 
ECC layout may be changed after applying this
patch set.

So You may meet some errors if you do not do so.

this is just a suggestiong. ignore this if you do not meet any error by

I am writing the JFFS2 partition from my custom U-Boot. Do you mean that they way it 
writes it could not be compatible with what the new driver expects? That sounds really 
bad.
How do you write the partition in Linux?

The mtd code(as well as the gpmi driver) has merge many patch to the kernel,
BUT, the relative patches are not submitted to uboot maillist. So the 
code is not aligned between the
uboot and the kernel.

Ok, I just rewrote the JFFS2 partition using the mtd-utils and now it mounts correctly 
and without any error.
So does this mean that U-Boot is now unable to properly write a JFFS2 partition for it 
to be understood by the linux-next kernel? What is exactly the difference? Does it 
only affect Freescale NAND controllers?

I'm including the U-Boot mailing list in CC.

I think there are many difference. Just diff the nand_base.c, you can 
see there are many patches merged in
the kernel's mtd code, but not exit in the uboot's mtd code.


AFAIK, only the gpmi is affected now.

This makes not much sense to me. If what you claim is true, than JFFS2 in U-Boot 
and Linux would be incompatible for all MTD drivers. This would also mean that 
JFFS2 in Linux 3.7 is incompatible with Linux-next (since 3.7 was the last sync 
point between U-Boot and Linux MTD). Is that really the case?

The jffs2 in uboot and linux is compatible now. But the mtd base code, 
such as nand_base.c /nand_bbt.c
has changed. And the gpmi for kernel has be changed too.
All these changes are not sync with the uboot yet.

Ok, based on this claim AND U-Boot being last synced with Linux 3.7, the obvious 
questions comes to mind. Is JFFS2 support in Linux 3.7 not compatible with JFFS2 
in Linux -next? Is this true? Can I not mount JFFS2 partition under Linux-next 
that I could mount with Linux 3.7 and earlier?

The jffs2 does not changed since the linux 3.7.
All the changes happened in the drivers and mtd code.

The gpmi does not support the jffs2 all the time. Only apply the slc/mlc 
patch set,
the gpmi can support the jffs2.

So the jffs2 support is compatiable all the time.

I think the mount can be succeeded.

OK, JFFS2 aside then, let's focus on MTD core code.

How come hector was then able to write his JFFS2 partition ?

Is the old Freescale 2.6.35 GPMI NAND format compatible with the one after 
applying this patchset?

Ok, does that mean that we need this patchset in U-Boot in order to properly 
write JFFS2 onto GPMI NAND there? Is that the message you wanted to relay to us?

So this patch breaks compatiblity with FSL kernel release? This needs fixing, 
otherwise it's impossible to do a drop-in replacement for the ancient FSL 
kernel.

Can you elaborate on this more? This is very vague, I would like to know what

I don't think I'm following these comments. The facts are:
1) A JFFS2 filesystem image written with nandwrite (mtd-utils v1.5.0)
	a) does not mount on kernel v3.10
	b) mounts OK on linux-next kernel (v3.12) with the patchset [1] from Huang
	(actually I didn't use linux-next but instead a v3.10 where I merged all the commits 
done to MTD in linux-next, which are a lot).

2) A JFFS2 filesystem image written with U-Boot v2013.01
	a) mounts OK on old FSL kernel 2.6.35
	b) does not mount on kernel v3.10 (neither on v3.8, I believe).
	c) does not mount on linux-next with the patchset [1]

[1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-August/048360.html

Marek, could you please confirm 2b on your side, just in case I'm doing anything wrong 
in my custom U-Boot?

Yes, please, we need more details. This seems to be related with how the MTD drivers 
(in Linux and in U-Boot) access the OOB area to store the JFFS2 cleanmarkers, right?

The error I'm receiving from the kernel is at fs/jffs2/wbuf.c

if (!oinfo || oinfo->oobavail == 0) {
     pr_err("inconsistent device description\n");
     return -EINVAL;
}

If he uses the gpmi, he should not write the JFFS2, since the gpmi
does not support the jffs2. He will get the failure in the end.

Not compatible.

This patch set is still underreview.

Besides this patchset, the u-boot needs more patches to sync with the
kernel mtd code. Such as the full-id features.

The gpmi driver in FSL kernel 2.6.35 is different from the linux-next or 
linux v3.10.

We have abandoned the old gpmi driver, and we use the same gpmi code in 
current FSL kernel.

Since we swtich to the upstream gpmi code, and it could not support the 
jffs2,

and that's why you mount always failed.

Before apply the patches above, the gpmi will use all the oob, so 
"oinfo->oobavail == 0" becomes true.

After apply the patches, the gpmi will not use all the oob for the ONFI 
SLC nand or the full-id nand,
and it can supports the jffs2 when you apply the other SLC/MLC patchset.

Sorry for the late reply. I cannot test it, since I don't have such a setup.

I still believe it'd be worth figuring out what the heck is going on in here. 
There is obviously a bug which breaks compatibility and that must not happen.

With the patchset, mounting the jffs should work again, no? If mounting the jffs 
works with the patchset AND it only works with jffs written using the new 
driver, you will need to introduce soem compatibility option or something along 
that.

yes. the full-id nand is not supported by the old mtd code.

It should be enough.

Dear Huang Shijie,

Sorry, I think I got lost in the discussion. I will pull out.

btw Hector, I managed to verify JFFS2 mounting doesn't work on 3.10 , now I'm 
trying to backport patches from -next and apply the GPMI NAND patchset, without 
much luck yet.

Best regards,
Marek Vasut

If it helps, to make it work on v3.10 I had to apply lots of commits (listed in 
reverse order, from most recent to oldest):

Oops, sorry, did you mean you were trying to backport them into U-Boot? Then please 
disregards my previous message.

btw feel free to run into me on IRC (#u-boot on freenode) or jabber so we can 
work on the backporting-to-uboot part ;-)

this JFFS2 was written from FSL 2.6.35 kernel.
