The commits 781c571 ("UBIFS: intialize LPT earlier") and 0980119 ("UBIFS:
fix-up free space earlier") move some initialization before marking the
master node dirty. But the modification changes the conditions of writing
master.
If unclean umount happens, ubifs may fail when mounting. But trying to
mount it will write new master nodes on the flash. This is useless but
increasing sqnum. So check need_recovery before writing master node, and
don't create new master node if filesystem needs recovery.

CS node is recognized as a sign in UBIFS log replay mechanism.
Log relaying during mount should find the CS node in log head
at beginning and then replay the following uncommitted buds.
Here is a bug in log replay path: If the log head, which is
indicated by @log_lnum in mst_node, is empty, current UBIFS
replay nothing and directly mount the partition without any
warning. This action will put filesystem in an abnormal state,
e.g. space management in LPT area is incorrect to the real
space usage in main area.
We reproduced this bug by fault injection: turn log head leb
into all 0xFF. UBIFS driver mount the polluted partition
normally. But errors occur while running fs_stress on this
mount:

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.
Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for

"
If 'c->lhead_lnum + 1 == c->ltail_lnum' and 'c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size', 'h'

Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a
situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean
reboot. The problem is theoretical, though.
In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The
log has the tail and the head.
Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and
the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the
log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the
same position.
At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount
the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because
this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the
log changes is the commit operation.
The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former
is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly
just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to
the flash media during "commit end" phase.
During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the
commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal
"disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just
move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB
will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes.
When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the
file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point
the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we
started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though.
The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master
node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log
tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again.
And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the
log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we
write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()').
But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and
the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens,
the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in
trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was
erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the
correct log tail at all times.
This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master
node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with
the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween
operations (a) and (b).

We use a circle area to record the log nodes in ubifs. This log area
should not be overlapped. But after researching the code, I found
some conditions may lead log head wraps log ltail. Although we've
fixed the problems discovered, there may be some other issues still
left.
This patch adds assertions where lhead changes to next leb to make
sure ltail is not wrapped.

Add an assertion which checkes that the head of the log never overlaps with the
tail of the log.

Remove the "if (c->lhead_offs == 0)" check because is unnecessary, since
at that point the log head offset is guaranteed to be zero due to the previous
operation.

The 'mst_mutex' is not needed since because 'ubifs_write_master()' is only
called on the mount path and commit path. The mount path is sequential and
there is no parallelism, and the commit path is also serialized - there is only
one commit going on at a time.

Fix checkpatch warnings:
"WARNING: Prefer seq_puts to seq_printf"

- this patch actually made fs/ubifs/super.o 12 bytes smaller.
Perhaps because seq_printf() is a varargs function, forcing the
caller to pass args on the stack instead of in registers.
