      UBI: make tests modes dynamic · 28237e45
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Similarly to the debugging checks and message, make the test modes
      be dynamically selected via the "debug_tsts" module parameter or
      via the "/sys/module/ubi/parameters/debug_tsts" sysfs file. This
      is consistent with UBIFS as well.
      
      And now, since all the Kconfig knobs became dynamic, we can remove
      the Kconfig.debug file completely.

      UBI: make self-checks dynamic · 92d124f5
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks
      on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration
      menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
      also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.
      
      This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which
      includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which
      includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are
      relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

      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: 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: 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.

      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.

      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
