      UBIFS: fix master node recovery · 6e0d9fd3
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This patch fixes the following symptoms:
      1. Unmount UBIFS cleanly.
      2. Start mounting UBIFS R/W and have a power cut immediately
      3. Start mounting UBIFS R/O, this succeeds
      4. Try to re-mount UBIFS R/W - this fails immediately or later on,
         because UBIFS will write the master node to the flash area
         which has been written before.
      
      The analysis of the problem:
      
      1. UBIFS is unmounted cleanly, both copies of the master node are clean.
      2. UBIFS is being mounter R/W, starts changing master node copy 1, and
         a power cut happens. The copy N1 becomes corrupted.
      3. UBIFS is being mounted R/O. It notices the copy N1 is corrupted and
         reads copy N2. Copy N2 is clean.
      4. Because of R/O mode, UBIFS cannot recover copy 1.
      5. The mount code (ubifs_mount()) sees that the master node is clean,
         so it decides that no recovery is needed.
      6. We are re-mounting R/W. UBIFS believes no recovery is needed and
         starts updating the master node, but copy N1 is still corrupted
         and was not recovered!
      
      Fix this problem by marking the master node as dirty every time we
      recover it and we are in R/O mode. This forces further recovery and
      the UBIFS cleans-up the corruptions and recovers the copy N1 when
      re-mounting R/W later.

      UBIFS: fix false assertion warning in case of I/O failures · 1a067a22
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      When UBIFS switches to R/O mode because it detects I/O failures, then
      when we unmount, we still may have allocated budget, and the assertions
      which verify that we have not budget will fire. But it is expected to
      have the budget in case of I/O failures, so the assertion warnings will
      be false. Suppress them for the I/O failure case.
