Commit 32bc4820287a1a03982979515949e8ea56eac641 did not fully fix
the backward compatibility issues. We still fail to properly handle
situations when the first PEB contains non-zero image sequence
number, but one of the following PEBs contains zero image sequence
number. For example, this may happen if we mount a new image with
an old kernel, and then try to mount it in the new kernel.
This patch should fix the issue.

More testing of NOR flash against power cuts showed that sometimes
eraseblocks may be unwritable, and we cannot really invalidate
them before erasure. But in this case the eraseblock probably
contains garbage anyway, and we do not have to invalidate the
headers. This assumption might be not true, but this is at least
what I have observed. So if we cannot invalidate the headers,
we make sure that the PEB does not contain valid VID header.
If this is true, everything is fine, otherwise we panic.

Useful for debugging problems, compiled in only if UBI debugging
is enabled. This patch also makes the UBI writing function dump
the flash if it fails to write.

There was a bug report recently where UBI prints:
UBI error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach by scanning, error -22
error messages and refuses to attach a PEB. It turned out to be a
buggy flash driver which returned garbage to almost every UBI read.
This patch makes UBI print a better message in such cases. Namely,
if UBI finds 8 or more corrupted PEBs, it prints a warning and
lists the corrupted PEBs.

In case of NOR flash, UBI zeroes EC and VID headers' magic,
in order to detect interrupted erasures. It first zeroes out
the EC magic, then VID magic. However, if a power cut happens
in between, we'll end up with a corrupted EC header and a valid
VID header, in which case UBI accepts the PEB, but prints a
warning. This patch makes sure we first zero out the VID
magic, then the EC magic, not vice versa. This is just a
small amendment to prevent warning messages.

If the EC header is corrupted, but the VID header is OK, UBI accepts the

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.

The 'paranoid_check_empty()' is bogus because, which is easilly
seen on NOR flash, which has long erase cycles, and which may
easilly end-up with half-erased eraseblocks. In this case the
paranoid check fails. I is just wrong to assume that PEBs which
do not have EC headers always contain all 0xFF. Such assumption
should not be made on the I/O level, which is quite low.
Thus, just kill the check.

The UBIFS WL worker may encounter read errors and there is logic
which makes a decision whether we should do one of:
1. cancel the operation and move the PEB with the read errors to
the 'erroneous' list;
2. switch to R/O mode.
ATM, only -EIO errors trigger 1., other errors trigger 2. The idea
is that if we know we encountered an I/O error, do 1. Otherwise,
we do not know how to react, and do 2., just in case. E.g., if
the underlying driver became crazy because of a bug, we do not
want to harm any data, and switch to R/O mode.
This patch does 2 things:
1. Makes sure reads from the source PEB always cause 1. This is
more consistent with other reads which come from the upper
layers and never cause R/O.
2. Teaches UBI to do 1. also on -EBADMSG, UBI_IO_BAD_VID_HDR,
-ENOMEM, and -ETIMEOUT. But this is only when reading the
target PEB.
This preblems were hunted by Adrian Hunter.

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.
[Artem: many cleanups, rework locking, add "updated" event, provide
device/volume info in notifiers]

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()'.

This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake
upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all,
it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short
period of time, just because the thread will be woken up
when real I/O on the UBI starts.
Anywey, the issue is the race condition between
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not
serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done
before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked
'ubi->thread_enabled'.

When paranoid checs are enabled, the 'io_paral' test from the
'mtd-utils' package fails. The symptoms are:
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: flash region at PEB 3973:512, length 15872 does not contain all 0xFF bytes
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: paranoid check failed for PEB 3973
UBI: hex dump of the 512-16384 region
It turned out to be a bug in the checking function. Suppose there
are 2 tasks - A and B. Task A is the wear-levelling working
('wear_leveling_worker()'). It is reading the VID header to find
which LEB this PEB belongs to. Say, task A is reading header
of PEB X. Suppose PEB X is unmapped, and has no VID header.
Task B is trying to write to PEB X.
Task A: in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()': reads the VID header from PEB X.
The read data contain all 0xFF bytes.
Task B: writes VID header and some data to PEB X
Task A: assumes PEB X is empty, calls 'paranoid_check_all_ff()', which
fails.
The solution for this problem is to make 'paranoid_check_all_ff()'
re-read the VID header, re-check it, and only if it is not there,
check the rest. This now implemented by the 'paranoid_check_empty()'
function.

UBI ioctl's do not work when running 64-bit kernel and 32-bit
user-land. Fix this by adding the compat_ioctl method.
Also, UBI serializes all ioctls, so more than one ioctl at a time
is not a problem. Amd UBI does not seem to depend on anything else,
so use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl (no BKL needed).
