* UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy2010-10-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* UBI: do not warn unnecessarilyArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when UBI attaches an MTD device and cannot reserve all 1% (by default) of PEBs for bad eraseblocks handling, it prints a warning. However, Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com> is not very happy to see this warning, because he did reserve enough of PEB at the beginning, but with time some PEBs became bad. The warning is not necessary in this case. This patch makes UBI print the warning o if this is a new image o of this is used image and the amount of reserved PEBs is only 10% (or less) of the size of the reserved PEB pool.

* UBI: init even if MTD device cannot be attached, if built into kernelMarc Kleine-Budde2010-05-061-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBI can be built into the kernel or be compiled as a kernel module. Further on the command line one can specify MTD devices to be attach to UBI while loading. In the current implementation the UBI driver refuses to load if one of the MTD devices cannot be attached. Consider: 1) UBI compiled into the kernel and 2) a MTD device specified on the command line and 3) this MTD device contains bogus data (for whatever reason). During init UBI tries to attach the MTD device is this fails the whole UBI subsystem isn't initialized. Later the userspace cannot attach any MTD to UBI because UBI isn't loaded. This patch keeps the current behaviour: if UBI is compiled as a module and a MTD device cannot be attached the UBI module cannot be loaded, but changes it for the UBI-is-built-into-the-kernel usecase. If UBI is builtin, a not attachable MTD device doen't stop UBI from initializing. This slightly modifies the behaviour if multiple MTD devices are specified on the command line. Now every MTD device is probed and, if possible, attached, i.e. a faulty MTD device doesn't stop the others from being attached.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* UBI: fix attaching error pathArtem Bityutskiy2010-02-011-33/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the error path of 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' we have a tricky situation: we have to release things differently depending on at which point the failure happening. Namely, if @ubi->dev is not initialized, we have to free everything ourselves. But if it was, we should not free the @ubi object, because it will be freed in the 'dev_release()' function. And we did not get this situation right. This patch introduces additional argument to the 'uif_init()' function. On exit, this argument indicates whether the final 'free(ubi)' will happen in 'dev_release()' or not. So the caller always knows how to properly release the resources. Impact: all memory is now correctly released when UBI fails to attach an MTD device. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: add notification APIDmitry Pervushin2009-06-021-5/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* UBI: do not switch to R/O mode on read errorsArtem Bityutskiy2009-06-021-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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()'.

* UBI: fix race conditionArtem Bityutskiy2009-05-261-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'.

* | [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter2008-12-101-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves the external API unchanged. Extending the external API is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly external API changes require the internal API to be accepted first. Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required to do so, although NAND base has been updated. In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little or no changes to the majority of the code with the following exceptions: - printk message formats - division and modulus of 64-bit values - NAND base support - 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat - naughtily assuming one structure maps to another in MEMERASE ioctl Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

* UBI: add auto-resize featureArtem Bityutskiy2008-01-251-5/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: NAND flashes have different amount of initial bad physical eraseblocks (marked as bad by the manufacturer). For example, for 256MiB Samsung OneNAND flash there might be from 0 to 40 bad initial eraseblocks, which is about 2%. When UBI is used as the base system, one needs to know the exact amount of good physical eraseblocks, because this number is needed to create the UBI image which is put to the devices during production. But this number is not know, which forces us to use the minimum number of good physical eraseblocks. And UBI additionally reserves some percentage of physical eraseblocks for bad block handling (default is 1%), so we have 1-3% of PEBs reserved at the end, depending on the amount of initial bad PEBs. But it is desired to always have 1% (or more, depending on the configuration). Solution: this patch adds an "auto-resize" flag to the volume table. The volume which has the "auto-resize" flag will automatically be re-sized (enlarged) on the first UBI initialization. UBI clears the flag when the volume is re-sized. Only one volume may have the "auto-resize" flag. So, the production UBI image may have one volume with "auto-resize" flag set, and its size is automatically adjusted on the first boot of the device.

| | | | | | | | | | When creating a new volume, do not forget to increment the vol_count variable. Also, users are not interested in internal volumes, so do not show them in the volumes_count sysfs file. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBI: do not support kiBArtem Bityutskiy2007-12-261-3/+1
| | | | | | Be strict and accept only KiB, MiB and GiB, not Kib, not kib, etc. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBI: add mtd_num sysfs attributeArtem Bityutskiy2007-12-261-1/+9

* UBI: fix mtd device string parsingArtem Bityutskiy2007-12-261-24/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | UBI allows to specify MTD device name or number when the module is being loaded. When parsing MTD device identity string, it first tries to treat it as device NAME, and if that fails, it treats it as device number. Make it vice-versa as this is more logical and makes less troubles when you have an MTD device named "1" and try to load mtd1 which has different name. This is especially easy to hit when gluebi is enabled. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBI: use separate mutex for volumes checkingArtem Bityutskiy2007-12-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Introduce a separate mutex which serializes volumes checking, because we cammot really use volumes_mutex - it cases reverse locking problems with mtd_tbl_mutex when gluebi is used - thanks to lockdep. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBI: handle attach ioctlArtem Bityutskiy2007-12-261-26/+54
