2012-09-04UBI: kill CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVEShmulik Ladkani
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE and MIN_RESEVED_PEBS are no longer used, since the amount of reserved eraseblocks for bad PEB handling is now derived from 'ubi->bad_peb_limit' (ubi's maximum expected bad eraseblocks).

2012-09-04UBI: introduce new bad PEB limitShmulik Ladkani
Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs UBI expects to go bad. Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage of total PEBs in the UBI device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT). The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of PEBs UBI needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling. Artem: minor amendments.

2012-07-18UBI: harmonize the update of ubi->beb_rsvd_pebsShmulik Ladkani
Currently, there are several locations where an attempt to reserve more PEBs for bad PEB handling is made, with the same code being duplicated. Harmonize it by introducing 'ubi_update_reserved()'.

2012-05-21UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnumJoel Reardon
This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id. External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush(). This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum, correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally. Artem: amended the patch.

2012-05-21UBI: add lnum and vol_id to struct ubi_workJoel Reardon
This is part of a multipart patch to allow UBI to force the erasure of particular logical eraseblock numbers. In this patch, the volume id and LEB number are added to ubi_work data structure, and both are also passed as a parameter to schedule erase to set it appropriately. Whenever ubi_wl_put_peb is called, the lnum is also passed to be forwarded to schedule erase. Later, a new ubi_sync_lnum will be added to execute immediately all work related to that lnum. This was tested by outputting the vol_id and lnum during the schedule of erasure. The ubi thread was disabled and two ubifs drives on separate partitions repeated changed a small number of LEBs. The ubi module was readded, and all the erased LEBs, corresponding to the volumes, were added to the schedule erase queue.

2012-05-21UBI: add volume id struct ubi_ainf_pebJoel Reardon
This patch adds the volume id to struct ubi_ainf_peb when scanning the LEBs at startup. PEBs now added to the erase queue will know their original LEB number and volume id, if available, and will be -1 otherwise (for instance, if the VID header is unreadable). This was tested by creating an ubi device with 3 volumes and disabiling the ubi_thread's do_work functionality. The different ubi volumes were formatted to ubifs and had files created and erased. The ubi modules was reloaded and the list of LEB's added to the erased list was outputted, confirming the volume ids and LEB numbers were appropriate.

2012-05-20UBI: always dump the stack on errorArtem Bityutskiy
UBI (and UBIFS) are a bit over-engineered WRT debugging. The idea was to link as few as possible when debugging is disabled, but the downside is that most people produce bug reports which are difficult to understand. This patch weeds out the 'ubi_dbg_dump_stack()' function and turns it into 'dump_stack()' - it is always useful to have stack dump in case of an error.

2011-03-16UBI: kill debugging bufferArtem Bityutskiy
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.

2011-03-16UBI: allocate write checking buffer on demandArtem Bityutskiy
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.

2010-10-19UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy
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.

2010-10-19UBI: handle bit-flips when no header foundArtem Bityutskiy
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.

2010-10-19UBI: remove duplicate IO error codesArtem Bityutskiy
The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same and mean that there are only 0xFF bytes instead of headers. Simplify UBI a little by turning them into a single 'UBI_IO_FF' error code.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
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.

2009-07-07UBI: fix NOR flash recoveryArtem Bityutskiy
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 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.

2009-06-02UBI: do not switch to R/O mode on read errorsArtem Bityutskiy
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()'.

2009-05-18UBI: small debugging code optimizationArtem Bityutskiy

2009-05-18UBI: re-name volumes_mutex to device_mutexArtem Bityutskiy
The mutex essencially protects the entire UBI device, so the old @volumes_mutex name is a little misleading. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-05-18UBI: remove redundant mutexArtem Bityutskiy
The @mult_mutex does not serve any purpose. We already have @volumes_mutex and it is enough. The @volume mutex is pushed down to the 'ubi_rename_volumes()', because we want first to open all volumes in the exclusive mode, and then lock the mutex, just like all other ioctl's (remove, re-size, etc) do.
