When using soft ecc, if no ooblayout is given, the core automatically
uses one of the nand_ooblayout_{sp,lp}*() functions to determine the
layout inside the out of band data.
Until kernel version 4.6, struct nand_ecclayout was used for that
purpose. During the migration from 4.6 to 4.7, an error shown up in the
small page layout, in the case oob section is only 8 bytes long.
The layout was using three bytes (0, 1, 2) for ecc, two bytes (3, 4)
as free bytes, one byte (5) for bad block marker and finally
two bytes (6, 7) as free bytes, as shown there:
[linux-4.6] drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c:52
static struct nand_ecclayout nand_oob_8 = {
.eccbytes = 3,
.eccpos = {0, 1, 2},
.oobfree = {
{.offset = 3,
.length = 2},
{.offset = 6,
.length = 2} }
};
This fixes the current implementation which is incoherent. It
references bit 3 at the same time as an ecc byte and a free byte.
Furthermore, it is clear with the previous implementation that there
is only one ecc section with 8 bytes oob sections. We shall return
-ERANGE in the nand_ooblayout_ecc_sp() function when asked for the
second section.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
