This is more likely to annoy than to help users of embedded distros where
this driver is enabled by default.  Making the blockdevs available does
not imply that they are in use, and warning about bootloader partitions
or other devices which obviously never will be mounted is more confusing
than helpful.

Move the warning to open(), where it will be of more use - actually warning
anyone who mounts a file system on NAND using mtdblock.

e07403a8c6 mtdblock: Warn if added for a NAND device
There is a surprisingly large number of tutorials
that suggest using mtdblock to mount SquashFS filesystems
on flash devices, including NAND devices.

This approach is suboptimal than using UBI. If the flash device
is NAND, this is specially true, due to wear leveling, bit-flips and
badblocks. In this case UBI is strongly preferred, so be nice to users
and print a warning suggesting to consider UBI block, if mtdblock
is added for a NAND device.

5788ccf3c8 mtd: clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly
The function call process is as follows:
	mtd_blktrans_work()
	  while (1)
	    do_blktrans_request()
	      mtdblock_writesect()
	        do_cached_write()
	          write_cached_data() /*if cache_state is STATE_DIRTY*/
	            erase_write()

write_cached_data() returns failure without modifying cache_state
and cache_offset. So when do_cached_write() is called again,
write_cached_data() will be called again to perform erase_write()
on the same cache_offset.

But if this cache_offset points to a bad block, erase_write() will
always return -EIO. Writing to this mtdblk is equivalent to losing
the current data, and repeatedly writing to the bad block.

Repeatedly writing a bad block has no real benefits,
but brings some negative effects:
1 Lost subsequent data
2 Loss of flash device life
3 erase_write() bad blocks are very time-consuming. For example:
	the function do_erase_oneblock() in chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c or
	chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c may take more than 20 seconds to return

Therefore, when erase_write() returns -EIO in write_cached_data(),
clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly.

4e4a9a828a mtd: Fix issue where write_cached_data() fails but write() still returns success
The following sequence is problematic:

mtdblock_flush()
    -->write_cached_data()
        --->erase_write()
        mtdblock: erase of region [0x40000, 0x20000] on "xxx" failed

Problem is: mtdblock_flush() always returns 0. Indeed, even if
write_cached_data() fails and data is not written to the device,
syscall_write() still returns success. Avoid this situation by
actually returning the error coming out of write_cached_data().

8f347c4232 mtd: Unconditionally update ->fail_addr and ->addr in part_erase()
->fail_addr and ->addr can be updated no matter the result of
parent->_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing
in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice.

Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to
not pass an erase_info->callback() and are thus only taking the
->addr_fail and ->addr fields into account after part_erase() has
returned.

While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info->mtd field which was only
needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

7e1f0dc055 mtd: introduce mtd_erase interface
This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface
from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because
we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level,
which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients
call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly.

At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but
later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input
parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be
duplicated at many drivers.

This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The
following patches add all the other interfaces one by one.

4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
