      UBI: always re-read in case of read failures · a87f29cb
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      When the read operation fails, UBI tries to re-read several times in
      a hope that one of the subsequent reads may succeed. However, currently
      UBI re-reads only if MTD failed to read all data, but does not re-reads
      if all the data were read, but with an integrity error (-EBADMSB). This
      patch makes UBI to always re-try reading.
      
      This should be useful for reading NAND pages with unstable bits -
      re-reading may help to get correct data.

      UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects · 6c1e875c
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      During scanning UBI allocates one struct ubi_scan_leb object for each PEB,
      so it can end up allocating thousands of them. Use slab cache to reduce
      memory consumption for these 48-byte objects, because currently used
      'kmalloc()' ends up allocating 64 bytes per object, instead of 48.

      UBI: use raw mtd read function in debugging code · 7950d023
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This change affects only the debugging code. Namely, use mtd->read()
      function instead of ubi_io_read() to avoid bit-flips injection
      (ubi_dbg_is_bitflip()) which we do not want on the debugging path.

      UBI: try to reveal buggy MTD drivers · 276832d8
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      When reading data from the flash, corrupt the buffer we are about to
      read to. The idea is to fix the following possible situation:
      
      1. The buffer contains data from previous operation, e.g., read from
         another PEB previously. The data looks like expected, e.g., if we
         just do not read anything and return - the caller would not
         notice this. E.g., if we are reading a VID header, the buffer may
         contain a valid VID header from another PEB.
      2. The driver is buggy and returns use success or -EBADMSG or
         -EUCLEAN, but it does not actually put any data to the buffer.
      
      This may confuse UBI or upper layers - they may think the buffer
      contains valid data while in fact it is just old data.
      
      Thus, try to reveal such buggy MTD drivers with simple debugging
      code which fills the read buffer with 0x12 constant.

      ppp: allow disabling multilink protocol ID compression · d39cd5e9
      stephen hemminger 提交于
      Linux would not connect to other router running old version Cisco IOS (12.0).
      This is most likely a bug in that version of IOS, since it is fixed
      in later versions. As a workaround this patch allows a module parameter
      to be set to disable compressing the protocol ID.
      
      See: https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3979
      
      RFC 1990 allows an implementation to formulate MP fragments as if protocol
      compression had been negotiated.  This allows us to always send compressed
      protocol IDs.  But some implementations don't accept MP fragments with
      compressed protocol IDs.  This parameter allows us to interoperate with
      them.  The default value of the configurable parameter is the same as the
      current behavior:  protocol compression is enabled.  If protocol compression
      is disabled we will not send compressed protocol IDs.
      
      This is based on an earlier patch by Bob Gilligan (using a sysctl).
      Module parameter is writable to allow for enabling even if ppp
      is already loaded for other uses.

      ueagle-atm: fix PHY signal initialization race · 12f188f2
      Dan Williams 提交于
      A race exists when initializing ueagle-atm devices where the generic atm
      device may not yet be created before the driver attempts to initialize
      it's PHY signal state, which checks whether the atm device has been
      created or not.  This often causes the sysfs 'carrier' attribute to be
      '1' even though no signal has actually been found.
      
      uea_probe
         usbatm_usb_probe
            driver->bind (uea_bind)
               uea_boot

               atm_dev_register                      UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL
      
      UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL checks whether the ATM device has been created and if
      not, will not update the PHY signal state.  Because of the race that
      does not always happen in time, and the PHY signal state remains
      ATM_PHY_SIG_FOUND even though no signal exists.
      
      To fix the race, just create the kthread during initialization, and only
      after initialization is complete, start the thread that reboots the
      device and initializes PHY state.
