      UBI: fix corrupted PEB detection for NOR flash · 7ac760c2
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
      We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if
      
      1. EC header is OK.
      2. VID header is corrupted.
      3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"
      
      In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
      the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
      header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
      invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
      header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
      and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
      scary warnings, wrongly.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
      invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
      just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.
      
      Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> for tracking this down.

      UBI: preserve corrupted PEBs · 5fc01ab6
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature
      of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption.
      The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy
      potentially important data.
      
      With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID
      header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is
      safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may
      be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead,
      UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB.
      IOW, UBI preserves this PEB.
      
      Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them
      we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power
      cut corrupted PEBs is 8.
      
      This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter
      (Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points
      to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got
      corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches)
      tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier
      to analyze the corruption.

      UBI: add truly corrupted PEBs to corrupted list · feeba4b8
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted,
      which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the
      corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes.
      
      At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these
      PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI
      preserving them.

      UBI: do not put eraseblocks to the corrupted list unnecessarily · 0525dac9
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning:
      1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased
      2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased
      
      But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after
      scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs
      which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add
      them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of
      corruption ASAP.
      
      However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because
      the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to
      put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused
      by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid
      killing potentially valuable user data.
      
      This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to
      the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation.

      Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit
      more readable. 'ec_err' is more appropriate because it sounds more like 'error
      when EC was read' and it looks more logical because we use it together with
      'err'. Just a minor nicification which should improve the rather complex

      UBI: handle bit-flips when no header found · 92e1a7d9
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only
      0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or
      not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list,
      even though there were bit-flips.
      
      Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a
      power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get
      a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This
      patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Commit 0798cea8 "UBI: improve corrupted flash handling"
      broke delet-compatible volumes handling - it introduced a limit of 8 eraseblocks which
      may be corrupted. And delete-compatible eraseblocks are added to the "corrupted" list,
      so if we'd have a large delete-compatible volume, UBI would refuse it.
      
      The fix is to add delete-compatible volumes to the erase list instead. Indeed, they are
      corrupted, we just have to erase them.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
