I personally don't mind if nand_maximize_ecc() is called twice in
the function if it clarifies the logic. Maybe the following will be
more clear for the user?
if (chip->ecc.size && chip->ecc.strength)
return nand_check_ecc_caps(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (chip->ecc.options & NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE)
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (!nand_match_ecc_req(chip, caps, oobavail))
return 0;
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
I personally don't mind, and it seems Masahiro wanted to keep the
logic
he had used in the denali driver.
Also, I'm not sure we should just error out when
nand_check_ecc_caps()
fails. What about something more robust, like:
int ret;
if (chip->ecc.size && chip->ecc.strength) {
ret = nand_check_ecc_caps(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (ret)
goto maximize_ecc;
Nope. When someone asked for a specific ECC config by passing the
nand-ecc-xxx props we should apply it or return an erro if it's not
supported. People passing those props should now what the ECC engine
supports and pick one valid values.
return 0;
}
if (chip->ecc.options & NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE)
goto maximize_ecc;
ret = nand_match_ecc_req(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (ret)
goto maximize_ecc;
return 0;
maximize_ecc:
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);

This version looks good to me.
If you want to check the error code more precisely,
how about something like follows?
int nand_ecc_choose_conf(struct nand_chip *chip,
const struct nand_ecc_caps *caps, int oobavail)
{
int ret;
if (chip->ecc.size && chip->ecc.strength)
return nand_check_ecc_caps(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (!(chip->ecc.options & NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE)) {
ret = nand_match_ecc_req(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (ret != -ENOTSUPP)
return ret;
}
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
}
Only the difference is the case
where nand_match_ecc_req() returns a different error code
than ENOTSUPP.
(Currently, this happens only when insane 'oobavail' is passed.)
We can do that but to me, it will make the helper function
more complicated. Currently, nand_match_ecc_req is returning
other than ENOTSUPP 'oobavail < 0' is passed.
and again in nand_maximize_ecc, we will check for validity
of oobavail so nothing wrong will happen in calling
nand_maximize_ecc.
Anyway we put this under WARN_ON condition
if (WARN_ON(oobavail < 0))
return -EINVAL;
so if this is being triggered, then it should be mostly
programming error.
Thanks,
Abhishek
ENOTSUPP means 'required ECC setting is not supported'.
Other error code is more significant, so it is not a good reason
to fall back to miximization, IMHO.
