When flash-dma is absent do not default to using flash-edu.
Make sure flash-edu is enabled before setting EDU transfer
function.

Does this fallback to returning an error in case !has_edu() ? Othewise,
how is it handled?

I don't like very much to see these values being used within NAND
controller drivers but I see it's already the cause, so I guess I can

You don't need this extra value, you already have the cmd parameter
which tells you if it is a read or a write. You might even want to
create a if block so set dir and edu_cmd and eventually a local
edu_read if you think it still makes sense.

NAND controller allows for setting a correctable ECC threshold number
of bits beyond which it will actually report the error to the driver.
e.g. for BCH-4 the threshold is 3, so 3-bit and 4-bit errors will
generate correctable ECC interrupt however 1-bit and 2-bit errors will
be corrected silently.
From the above example EDU hardware will not transfer corrected data
to the DMA buffer for 3-bit and 4-bit errors that get reported. So
once we detect
the error duing EDU we read the page again using pio.

I needed the value since dma and edu read has multiple conditions like
oob is not included, buffer is aligned, virtual address is good. This
indicates to
the if (mtd_is_bitflip(err)) block that the error was from an edu
transaction that happened.This way all ecc error handling for dma,
edu, pio is in one place.
Also there is more controller version specific logic for read error
handling in there and this allows us to maintain the hierarchy how we
handle both correctable
and uncorrectable error.

Ok I see what you mean, can't you fake the threshold instead? The NAND
controller in Linux is not supposed to handle this threshold, the NAND
core is in charge. So what the controller driver should do is just:
increase the number of bitflips + return the maximum number or bitflip
or increase the failure counter. Is this already the case?

This how the threshold is set, all it means is that for high BCH
levels don't interrupt on low number (less than threshold) of
bit_flips. Yes the controller driver only increments correctable ECC
count. But due the EDU design an EDU operation is disrupted when the
controller interrupts on correctable ECC errors during subpage ECC
calculations. Hence the driver needs to read the page again with PIO
to transfer corrected data.

IIUC, you are doing the job twice: you should just return a number of
bitflips or an error to the NAND core. So that's why I'm telling that
you should get rid of this threshold. It would avoid the need for the
PIO transfer too.
You also say that the controller "only increments correctable ECC
count", what do you mean exactly? The controller does not report errors
when the number of bitflips happens to be above the BCH threshold? This
would be the only case where what is currently done would be actually
needed though.

I think you are reading some statements in isolation that probably are
causing some confusion.
EDU design has a flaw in case of reported ECC error interrupt in that
corrected data is not transferred to the DMA buffer. The PIO is needed
to read corrected data into the NAND data buffer and only for the
reported errors. So there is no need to change the threshold
calculation logic, if we get rid of the threshold then we will have to
do the PIO read on any correctable bit error if it occurs during EDU
reads.

Maybe that statement was a bit misleading. To be clear when an ECC
error is reported the controller gives the bit_flips count as well as
updates the ECC error address Register and ecc error status registers.
This logic works as expected in the hardware.

It's the other way. The controller only reports bit errors beyond
>=threshold value, will not report otherwise and silently correct the
data. There is no problem in cases where erros are corrected
silently. Now ECC (un)correctable on EDU reads are detected by simply
reading back the ECC Error address register. And in case of reported
uncorrectable ECC errors are treated as usual. And for reported
correctable ECC errors we need to read the page again using PIO so
that the corrected data is properly transferred. All this applies to
EDU transfer only.

Thank you very much for the explanation, I understand better how this
controller works now.
