[PATCH v5 09/18] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: use page reads to reposition small-page NAND

From: James Hilliard <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-14 03:01:52
Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-sunxi, lkml
Subsystem: memory technology devices (mtd), nand flash subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Miquel Raynal, Richard Weinberger, Vignesh Raghavendra, Linus Torvalds

The hardware-ECC read paths use random-column commands to revisit main
data and OOB. Small-page NAND does not support these commands, and
nand_change_read_column_op() rejects pages of 512 bytes or less. Ignoring
that error does not provide a physical reread: the erased-chunk check can
instead inspect stale buffer contents.

Introduce a read-column helper which starts a new page read for small-page
NAND. Let the NAND core select READ0, READ1 or READOOB and send the row
address. Keep random-column commands for large pages. Pass the page number
through the erased-chunk fallback and use the helper for normal OOB reads
as well.

Retain transport errors and only classify a physical chunk after all its
rereads succeed. Read exactly the requested region so the tracked column
still matches the start of any trailing OOB.

Also select PIO callbacks for small-page hardware ECC even when DMA is
available. The DMA page sequencer uses large-page random-column commands;
PIO can stream the single 512-byte ECC step and its OOB without them.

Keep the ECC geometry checks unchanged. In particular, the usual 512+16
geometry still cannot fit the controller's minimum 28 parity bytes and
four user-data bytes. This fixes the command handling for small-page
geometries that pass those checks, not a demonstrated regression on a
previously working 512+16 device. Software-ECC and raw callbacks,
large-page DMA eligibility and the on-flash layout are unchanged.

Fixes: 1fef62c1423b ("mtd: nand: add sunxi NAND flash controller support")
Fixes: 614049a8d904 ("mtd: nand: sunxi: add support for DMA assisted operations")
