      UBI: kill debugging buffer · 6edb9793
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This patch kills the 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' debugging buffer and the
      associated mutex, because all users of this buffer are now gone.
      We are killing this buffer because we are going to switch to
      dynamic debugging control, just like in UBIFS, which means that
      CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID will be removed. In this case we'd
      end up always allocating 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', which is rather large
      (128KiB or more), and this would be wasteful. Thus, we are just
      killing it.

      UBI: allocate write checking buffer on demand · a7586743
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Instead of using pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer in
      'ubi_dbg_check_write()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The
      intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer
      completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change
      to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e.,
      we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig
      option, which would mean that 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated,
      which would be wasteful.
      
      Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', and this is a
      preparation for that.

      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: 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.

      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.

      UBI: fix NOR flash recovery · ebf53f42
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This commit fixes NOR flash recovery issues observed with Spansion
      S29GL512N NOR.
      
      When NOR erases, it first fills PEBs with zeroes, then sets all bytes
      to 0xFF. Filling with zeroes starts from the end of the PEB. And when
      power is cut, this results in PEBs containing correct EC and VID headers
      but corrupted with zeros at the end. This confuses UBI and it mistakinly
      accepts these PEBs and associate them with LEBs.
      
      Fis this issue by zeroing EC and VID magics before erasing PEBs, to
      make UBI later refuse zem.

      UBI: add notification API · 0e0ee1cc
      Dmitry Pervushin 提交于
      UBI volume notifications are intended to create the API to get clients
      notified about volume creation/deletion, renaming and re-sizing. A
      client can subscribe to these notifications using 'ubi_volume_register()'
      and cancel the subscription using 'ubi_volume_unregister()'. When UBI
      volumes change, a blocking notifier is called. Clients also can request
      "added" events on all volumes that existed before client subscribed
      to the notifications.
      
      If we use notifications instead of calling functions like 'ubi_gluebi_xxx()',
      we can make the MTD emulation layer to be more flexible: build it as a
      separate module and load/unload it on demand.

      UBI: do not switch to R/O mode on read errors · b86a2c56
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
      R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
      This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
      chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
      This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
      like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
      WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
      again.
      
      But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
      If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
      
      Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
      switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
      target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
      the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
      
      The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
      into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.
