My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if
1. EC header is OK.
2. VID header is corrupted.
3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"
In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
scary warnings, wrongly.
This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.
Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> for tracking this down.

corruptions caused by unclean reboots.

When the data does not contain all 0xFF bytes, 'check_data_ff()' should return
1, not -EINVAL; Also, the caller ('process_eb()') should not add the PEB to the
"corrupted" list if there was a read error.

While scanning the flash we read all VID headers and store some important
information in 'struct ubi_scan_leb'. Store also the 'copy_flag' value there
as it is needed when comparing LEBs. We do not increase memory consumption
because this is just one bit and we have plenty of spare bits in
'struct ubi_scan_leb' (sizeof(struct ubi_scan_leb) is 48 both with and
without this patch).

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.

Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted,
which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the
corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes.
At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these
PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI
preserving them.

Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning:
1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased
2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased
But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after
scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs
which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add
them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of
corruption ASAP.
However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because
the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to
put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused
by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid
killing potentially valuable user data.
This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to
the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation.

Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit
more readable. 'ec_err' is more appropriate because it sounds more like 'error
when EC was read' and it looks more logical because we use it together with
'err'. Just a minor nicification which should improve the rather complex
scanning code.

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.

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.
Also, stop maintaining commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' which are
almost identical to commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()'.

Rename UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ into UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG which is presumably more

even confuses, while '_EBADMSG' tells about uncorrectable ECC error, because we
use -EBADMSG all over the place to represent ECC errors.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Commit 0798cea8c2 "UBI: improve corrupted flash handling"
broke delet-compatible volumes handling - it introduced a limit of 8 eraseblocks which
may be corrupted. And delete-compatible eraseblocks are added to the "corrupted" list,
so if we'd have a large delete-compatible volume, UBI would refuse it.
The fix is to add delete-compatible volumes to the erase list instead. Indeed, they are
corrupted, we just have to erase them.

because we never access delete-compattible volumes, but it is still

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.

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.

Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.
Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.
This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.
This will allow further cleanups in drivers.

Add an extra debugging check function which validates writes.
After every write it reads the data back, compares it with the
original data, and complains if they mismatch.
Useful for debugging. No-op if extra debugging checks are disabled.

UBI debugging functions were a little bit over-engineered and
returned more error codes than needed, and the callers had to
do useless checks. Simplify the return codes.
Impact: only debugging code is affected, which means that for
non-developers this is a no-op patch.

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.

The @mtd_devs and @mtd_dev_param variables are used only during the
initialization, and all functions that use the variables have
the __init prefix. This means we can safely mark the variables
as __initdata, which is a tiny optimization.
Impact: tiny RAM consumption optimization when UBI is used as a kernel
module.
