commit b5094b7f135be34630e3ea8a98fa215715d0f29d upstream.

While UBI and UBIFS seem to work at first sight with MLC NAND, you will
most likely lose all your data upon a power-cut or due to read/write
disturb.
In order to protect users from bad surprises, refuse to attach to MLC
NAND.

<title>ubi: Fix error for write access</title>

commit 78a8dfbabbece22bee58ac4cb26cab10e7a19c5d upstream.

When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error
code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right
value.

The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening
read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the
veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the
ubiblock device.

Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the
ubiblock device as valid.

<title>ubi: block: Fix locking for idr_alloc/idr_remove</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes a race with idr_alloc where gd-&gt;first_minor can be set to the
same value for two simultaneous calls to ubiblock_create.  Each instance
calls device_add_disk with the same first_minor.  device_add_disk calls
bdi_register_owner which generates several warnings.

However, device_add_disk does not error out when bdi_register_owner
returns an error.  Control continues until reaching blk_register_queue.
It then BUGs.

The fastmap update code might erase the current fastmap anchor PEB
in case it doesn't find any new free PEB. When a power cut happens
in this situation we must not have any outdated fastmap anchor PEB
on the device, because that would be used to attach during next
boot.
The easiest way to make that sure is to erase all outdated fastmap
anchor PEBs synchronously during attach.
