ubi/upd: Always flush after prepared for an update

2017-04-27T07:10:38+00:00

commit 9cd9a21ce070be8a918ffd3381468315a7a76ba6 upstream.

In commit 6afaf8a484cb ("UBI: flush wl before clearing update marker") I
managed to trigger and fix a similar bug. Now here is another version of
which I assumed it wouldn't matter back then but it turns out UBI has a
check for it and will error out like this:

|ubi0 warning: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent used_ebs
|ubi0 error: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent VID header at PEB 592

All you need to trigger this is? "ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 file" + a
powercut in the middle of the operation.
ubi_start_update() sets the update-marker and puts all EBs on the erase
list. After that userland can proceed to write new data while the old EB
aren't erased completely. A powercut at this point is usually not that
much of a tragedy. UBI won't give read access to the static volume
because it has the update marker. It will most likely set the corrupted
flag because it misses some EBs.
So we are all good. Unless the size of the image that has been written
differs from the old image in the magnitude of at least one EB. In that
case UBI will find two different values for `used_ebs' and refuse to
attach the image with the error message mentioned above.

So in order not to get in the situation, the patch will ensure that we
wait until everything is removed before it tries to write any data.
The alternative would be to detect such a case and remove all EBs at the
attached time after we processed the volume-table and see the
update-marker set. The patch looks bigger and I doubt it is worth it
since usually the write() will wait from time to time for a new EB since
usually there not that many spare EB that can be used.

ubi: fastmap: Fix add_vol() return value test in ubi_attach_fastmap()

2016-10-28T12:48:18+00:00

Commit e96a8a3bb671 ("UBI: Fastmap: Do not add vol if it already
exists") introduced a bug by changing the possible error codes returned
by add_vol():
- this function no longer returns NULL in case of allocation failure
  but return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
- when a duplicate entry in the volume RB tree is found it returns
  ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)

Fix the tests done on add_vol() return val to match this new behavior.

UBI: Fix crash in try_recover_peb()

2016-10-19T22:06:06+00:00

    drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c: In function ‘try_recover_peb’:
    drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c:744: warning: ‘vid_hdr’ is used uninitialized in this function

The pointer vid_hdr is indeed not initialized, leading to a crash when
it is dereferenced.

Fix this by obtaining the pointer from the VID buffer, like is done
everywhere else.

ubi: Fix Fastmap's update_vol()

2016-10-02T20:55:02+00:00

Usually Fastmap is free to consider every PEB in one of the pools
as newer than the existing PEB. Since PEBs in a pool are by definition
newer than everything else.
But update_vol() missed the case that a pool can contain more than
one candidate.

ubi: Fix races around ubi_refill_pools()

2016-10-02T20:54:01+00:00

When writing a new Fastmap the first thing that happens
is refilling the pools in memory.
At this stage it is possible that new PEBs from the new pools
get already claimed and written with data.
If this happens before the new Fastmap data structure hits the
flash and we face power cut the freshly written PEB will not
scanned and unnoticed.

Solve the issue by locking the pools until Fastmap is written.

ubi: Deal with interrupted erasures in WL

2016-10-02T20:49:54+00:00

When Fastmap is used we can face here an -EBADMSG
since Fastmap cannot know about unmaps.
If the erasure was interrupted the PEB may show ECC
errors and UBI would go to ro-mode as it assumes
that the PEB was check during attach time, which is
not the case with Fastmap.

UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept

2016-10-02T20:48:14+00:00

Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the
ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions
make sure to align allocation on ubi->vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the
vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi->vid_hdr_shift requirements.
This works fine, but is a bit convoluted.
Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support
MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID
header.

Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information
to the VID header.

We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but
will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.

UBI: hide EBA internals

2016-10-02T20:48:14+00:00

Create a private ubi_eba_table struct to hide EBA internals and provide
helpers to allocate, destroy, copy and assing an EBA table to a volume.

Now that external EBA users are using helpers to query/modify the EBA
state we can safely change the internal representation, which will be
needed to support the LEB consolidation concept.
