      UBIFS: do not free write-buffers when in R/O mode · b50b9f40
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is
      re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it
      does not allocate write-buffers as well.
      
      This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications
      in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are
      that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount
      it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints:
      
      UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
      
      Analysis of the  problem.
      
      When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but
      when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not
      allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the
      same file-system but for the following 2 cases:
      
      1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover
      2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery
      
      In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter
      case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not
      try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just
      try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail.
      On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB
      (@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting.
      
      Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate
      write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3
      of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is
      about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O.
      
      [1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads
      to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads
      before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately.

      UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts · 2ef13294
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Commit 2fde99cb "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
      introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
      VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
      to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.
      
      However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
      flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.
      
      This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
      we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
      This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.
      
      This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
      'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
      anything if the FS was mounter R/O.
      
      All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
      and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
      original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

      UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors · 2680d722
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      The R/O state may have various reasons:
      
      1. The UBI volume is R/O
      2. The FS is mounted R/O
      3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error
      
      However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
      1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
      R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
      make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.
      
      But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
      that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
      we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
      in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
      is R/O, our message is bogus.
      
      This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
      we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
      "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
      this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
      for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
      do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
      guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
      patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.
      
      In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
      changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

      UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlessly · 348709ba
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
      flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
      a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
      corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
      just fine and goes on.
      
      This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
      real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
      to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
      not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.
