# YAFFS file system configurations

config YAFFS_FS
tristate "YAFFS2 file system support"
default n
depends on MTD_BLOCK
select YAFFS_YAFFS1
select YAFFS_YAFFS2
help
YAFFS2, or Yet Another Flash Filing System, is a filing system
optimised for NAND Flash chips.
To compile the YAFFS2 file system support as a module, choose M
here: the module will be called yaffs2.
If unsure, say N.
Further information on YAFFS2 is available at
<http://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs/>.
config YAFFS_YAFFS1
bool "512 byte / page devices"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default y
help
Enable YAFFS1 support -- yaffs for 512 byte / page devices
Not needed for 2K-page devices.
If unsure, say Y.
config YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
bool "Use older-style on-NAND data format with pageStatus byte"
depends on YAFFS_YAFFS1
default n
help
Older-style on-NAND data format has a "pageStatus" byte to record
chunk/page state. This byte is zero when the page is discarded.
Choose this option if you have existing on-NAND data using this
format that you need to continue to support. New data written
also uses the older-style format. Note: Use of this option
generally requires that MTD's oob layout be adjusted to use the
older-style format. See notes on tags formats and MTD versions
in yaffs_mtdif1.c.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_DOES_ECC
bool "Lets Yaffs do its own ECC"
depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_YAFFS1 && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
default n
help
This enables Yaffs to use its own ECC functions instead of using
the ones from the generic MTD-NAND driver.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_ECC_WRONG_ORDER
bool "Use the same ecc byte order as Steven Hill's nand_ecc.c"
depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_DOES_ECC && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
default n
help
This makes yaffs_ecc.c use the same ecc byte order as Steven
Hill's nand_ecc.c. If not set, then you get the same ecc byte
order as SmartMedia.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_YAFFS2
bool "2048 byte (or larger) / page devices"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default y
help
Enable YAFFS2 support -- yaffs for >= 2K bytes per page devices
If unsure, say Y.
config YAFFS_AUTO_YAFFS2
bool "Autoselect yaffs2 format"
depends on YAFFS_YAFFS2
default y
help
Without this, you need to explicitely use yaffs2 as the file
system type. With this, you can say "yaffs" and yaffs or yaffs2
will be used depending on the device page size (yaffs on
512-byte page devices, yaffs2 on 2K page devices).
If unsure, say Y.
config YAFFS_DISABLE_TAGS_ECC
bool "Disable YAFFS from doing ECC on tags by default"
depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_YAFFS2
default n
help
This defaults Yaffs to using its own ECC calculations on tags instead of
just relying on the MTD.
This behavior can also be overridden with tags_ecc_on and
tags_ecc_off mount options.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_DISABLE_WIDE_TNODES
bool "Turn off wide tnodes"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default n
help
Wide tnodes are only used for NAND arrays >=32MB for 512-byte
page devices and >=128MB for 2k page devices. They use slightly
more RAM but are faster since they eliminate chunk group
searching.
Setting this to 'y' will force tnode width to 16 bits and save
memory but make large arrays slower.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_ALWAYS_CHECK_CHUNK_ERASED
bool "Force chunk erase check"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default n
help
Normally YAFFS only checks chunks before writing until an erased
chunk is found. This helps to detect any partially written
chunks that might have happened due to power loss.
Enabling this forces on the test that chunks are erased in flash
before writing to them. This takes more time but is potentially
a bit more secure.
Suggest setting Y during development and ironing out driver
issues etc. Suggest setting to N if you want faster writing.
If unsure, say Y.
config YAFFS_SHORT_NAMES_IN_RAM
bool "Cache short names in RAM"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default y
help
If this config is set, then short names are stored with the
yaffs_Object. This costs an extra 16 bytes of RAM per object,
but makes look-ups faster.
If unsure, say Y.
config YAFFS_EMPTY_LOST_AND_FOUND
bool "Empty lost and found on boot"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default n
help
If this is enabled then the contents of lost and found is
automatically dumped at mount.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_DISABLE_BLOCK_REFRESHING
bool "Disable yaffs2 block refreshing"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default n
help
If this is set, then block refreshing is disabled.
Block refreshing infrequently refreshes the oldest block in
a yaffs2 file system. This mechanism helps to refresh flash to
mitigate against data loss. This is particularly useful for MLC.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_DISABLE_BACKGROUND
bool "Disable yaffs2 background processing"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default n
help
If this is set, then background processing is disabled.
Background processing makes many foreground activities faster.
If unsure, say N.
config YAFFS_XATTR
bool "Enable yaffs2 xattr support"
depends on YAFFS_FS
default y
help
If this is set then yaffs2 will provide xattr support.
If unsure, say Y.
