2007-12-26UBI: fix error pathArtem Bityutskiy
Error path in volume creation is bogus. First of, it ovverrides the 'err' variable and returns zero to the caller. Second, ubi_assert() in the release function is wrong. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2007-12-26UBI: get device when opening volumeArtem Bityutskiy
When a volume is opened, get its kref via get_device() call. And put the reference when closing the volume. With this, we may have a bit saner volume delete. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2007-12-26UBI: create ubi_wl_entry slab on initializationArtem Bityutskiy
Similarly to ltree_entry_slab, it makes more sense to create and destroy ubi_wl_entry slab on module initialization/exit. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2007-12-26UBI: create ltree_entry slab on initializationArtem Bityutskiy
Since the ltree_entry slab cache is a global entity, which is used by all UBI devices, it is more logical to create it on module initialization time and destro on module exit time. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2007-12-26UBI: silence a warningJesper Juhl
This patch silences the following warning : drivers/mtd/ubi/vmt.c:73: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function gcc can't see that we always initialize ret in all situations where it is actually used. The one case where it's not initialized is when we BUG(), but gcc doesn't know that we won't then continue and use an uninitialized 'ret'. This patch results in code that does exactely the same as before, but it also makes gcc shut up, so we generate one less line of warning noise.

2007-12-26UBI: add ubi_leb_map interfaceArtem Bityutskiy
The idea of this interface belongs to Adrian Hunter. The interface is extremely useful when one has to have a guarantee that an LEB will contain all 0xFFs even in case of an unclean reboot. UBI does have an 'ubi_leb_erase()' call which may do this, but it is stupid and ineffecient, because it flushes whole queue. I should be re-worked to just be a pair of unmap, map calls. The user of the interfaci is UBIFS at the moment. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2007-12-26UBI: bugfix: allocate mandatory EBs firstArtem Bityutskiy
First allocate the necessary eraseblocks, then the optional ones. Otherwise it allocates all PEBs for bad EB handling, and fails on then following EBA LEB allocation. Reported-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2007-12-26UBI: fix error code in ubi_io_read()Artem Bityutskiy
When NAND detects an ECC error, it returns -EBADMSG. It does not stop reading requested data if one page has an ECC error, it keeps going and reads all the requested data. If it fails to read all the data, it does not return -EBADMSG, but returns the error code which reflects the reason of the failure. But some drivers may have bugs (e.g., OneNAND had) and stop reading after the first ECC error, so it returns -EBADMSG. In turn, UBI propagates this up to the caller. The caller will treat this as "all the requested data was read, but there was an ECC error". So we change the error code to -EIO if it is -EBADMSG and the read length is less then the requested length. We also add an assertion, so if UBI debugging is enabled, UBI will bug.

2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printksPavel Emelyanov
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

2007-10-14UBI: fix atomic LEB change problemsArtem Bityutskiy
When the UBI device is nearly full, i.e. all LEBs are mapped, we have only one spare LEB left - the one we reserved for WL purposes. Well, I do not count the LEBs which were reserved for bad PEB handling - suppose NOR flash for simplicity. If an "atomic LEB change operation" is run, and the WL unit is moving a LEB, we have no spare LEBs to finish the operation and fail, which is not good. Moreover, if there are 2 or more simultanious "atomic LEB change" requests, only one of them has chances to succeed, the other will fail with -ENOSPC. Not good either. This patch does 2 things: 1. Reserves one PEB for the "atomic LEB change" operation. 2. Serealize the operations so that only on of them may run at a time (by means of a mutex).

2007-10-14UBI: do not use vmalloc on I/O pathArtem Bityutskiy
Similar reason as in case of the previous patch: it causes deadlocks if a filesystem with writeback support works on top of UBI. So pre-allocate needed buffers when attaching MTD device. We also need mutexes to protect the buffers, but they do not cause much contantion because they are used in recovery, torture, and WL copy routines, which are called seldom.

2007-10-14UBI: allocate memory with GFP_NOFSArtem Bityutskiy
Use GFP_NOFS flag when allocating memory on I/O path, because otherwise we may deadlock the filesystem which works on top of us. We observed the deadlocks with UBIFS. Example: VFS->FS lock a lock->UBI->kmalloc()->VFS writeback->FS locks the same lock again. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2007-10-14UBI: don't use array index before testing if it is negativeJesper Juhl
I can't find anything guaranteeing that 'ubi_num' cannot be <0 in drivers/mtd/ubi/kapi.c::ubi_open_volume(), and in fact the code even tests for that and errors out if so. Unfortunately the test for "ubi_num < 0" happens after we've already used 'ubi_num' as an array index - bad thing to do if it is negative. This patch moves the test earlier in the function and then moves the indexing using that variable after the check. A bit safer :-) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-18UBI: cleanup usage of try_module_getFernando Luis Vázquez Cao
The use of try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) in ubi_get_device_info does not offer real protection against unexpected driver unloads, since we could be preempted before try_modules_get gets executed. It is the caller who should manipulate the refcounts. Besides, ubi_get_device_info is an exported symbol which guarantees protection when accessed through symbol_get.

2007-07-18UBI: fix overflow bugVinit Agnihotri
I was experiencing overflows in multiplications for volume->used_bytes in vmt.c & vtbl.c, while creating & resizing large volumes. vol->used_bytes is long long however its 2 operands vol->used_ebs & vol->usable_leb_size are int. So their multiplication for larger values causes integer overflows. Typecasting them solves the problem. My machine & flash details: 64Bit dual-core AMD opteron, 1 GB RAM, linux 2.6.18.3. mtd size = 6GB, volume size= 5GB, peb_size = 4MB. heres patch which does the fix.
