Commit Message

Rouven Czerwinski Sept. 22, 2023, 2:17 p.m. UTC
Both the JEDEC and ONFI specification say that read cache sequential
support is an optional command. This means that we not only need to
check whether the individual controller supports the command, we also
need to check the parameter pages for both ONFI and JEDEC NAND flashes
before enabling sequential cache reads.

This fixes support for NAND flashes which don't support enabling cache
reads, i.e. Samsung K9F4G08U0F or Toshiba TC58NVG0S3HTA00.

Sequential cache reads are now only available for ONFI and JEDEC
devices, if individual vendors implement this, it needs to be enabled
per vendor.

Tested on i.MX6Q with a Samsung NAND flash chip that doesn't support
sequential reads.

Thanks for this. It works as expected for my Toshiba chip, obviously
because it doesn't use ONFI or JEDEC.

Unfortunately, my Micron chip does use ONFI, and it sets the cached-
read-supported bit. It then fails when reading afterwords:

I've briefly tried adding some error info the the squashfs error
messages, but it looks like it's getting bad data. I.e. one failure a
sanity check of `dir_count`:

if (dir_count > SQUASHFS_DIR_COUNT)
	goto data_error;

It fails with `dir_count` being 1952803684 ...

So is this a case of wrong/bad timings?

Miquel:
I can tell from the code, that the READCACHESEQ operations are followed
by NAND_OP_WAIT_RDY(tR_max, tRR_min). From the Micron datasheet[0], it
should be NAND_OP_WAIT_RDY(tRCBSY_max, tRR_min), where tRCBSY is
defined to be between 3 and 25 µs.

Not sure if this is related though.

I believe tR_max is bigger (200us), but please check that this is
actually the case, you can also try enlarging this delay. But if it was
a timeout issue we would probably see errors from the controller driver?

Bean, Domenico, is there any AN or specific document which I missed
asking not to use this feature on specific chips? Are they supposed to
work?

I found a place in the ONFI spec states taht tRCBSY_max should be
between 3 and tR_max, so indeed we should be fine on that regard.

However, I asked myself whether we could have issues when crossing
boundaries. Block boundaries should be fine, however your device does
not support crossing plane boundaries, as bit 4 ("read cache
supported") of byte 114 ("Multi-plane operation attributes") in the
memory organization block of the parameter page is not set (the value
of the byte should be 0x0E if I get it right.

Anyway, our main issue here does not seem related to the boundaries. It
does not seem to be explicitly marked anywhere else but on the front
page:
	Advanced command set
	– Program page cache mode (4)
	– Read page cache mode (4)
	– Two-plane commands (4)

	(4) These commands supported only with ECC disabled.

Read page cache mode without ECC makes the feature pretty useless IMHO.

Bean, Domenico, how do we know which devices allow ECC correction
during sequential page reads and which don't? Is there a (vendor?) bit
somewhere in the parameter page for that? Do we have any way to know
besides a list of devices allowing that? If so, can you provide one
with a few IDs? 

Thanks,
Miquèl

Hello Miquel,

The MPN mt29f4g08abadawp is a single LUN device and it is supposed to support cache read with the limitation reported into the datasheet.

Can you clarify about the IDs list you need?

Thanks.
Regards,
Domenico P.

Yes, but this limitation is not covered by the ONFI specification.

> Can you clarify about the IDs list you need?

In the NAND core, we need to know which devices do/do not support
sequential cache reads *with* ECC enabled.

We can look at the parameter page and know whether sequential cache
reads are supported or not, but there is no way (as far as I know) to
detect whether a chip supports sequential cache reads with ECC enabled
other than looking at the datasheet.

Can you help by either telling how we can dynamically discover whether
ECC can be enabled during cache operations on Micron NAND chips or, if
that is not possible, provide a list of devices which support it?

Thanks,
Miquèl

I might have over reacted regarding my findings in Micron's datasheet,
I need to know if you use the on-die ECC engine or if you use the one
on the controller. In the former case the failure is expected. In the
latter case, it's not.

I use the default, which seems to be the controller engine?

Great! Thanks a lot.

It appears that even without internal ECC enabled we get failures on
Micron parts, so I believe there is something else that we need to
investigate. But thanks for the list, I will propose a patch preventing
the use of on-die ECC together with sequential cache reads on all parts
but the ones in this list (can be extended later).

Thanks,
Miquèl

Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git mtd/fixes, thanks.
