UBI: make tests modes dynamic

2011-03-16T11:50:17+00:00

Similarly to the debugging checks and message, make the test modes
be dynamically selected via the "debug_tsts" module parameter or
via the "/sys/module/ubi/parameters/debug_tsts" sysfs file. This
is consistent with UBIFS as well.

And now, since all the Kconfig knobs became dynamic, we can remove
the Kconfig.debug file completely.

UBI: make self-checks dynamic

2011-03-16T11:50:16+00:00

This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks
on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.

This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which
includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which
includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are
relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

UBI: make debugging messages dynamic

2011-03-16T11:50:16+00:00

This patch adds a possibility to dynamically select UBI debugging
messages, instead of selecting them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.

UBI: remove UBI_IO_DEBUG macro

2011-03-16T11:50:16+00:00

This additional little macro is used to print a bit more messages
while scanning the media. However, we have the 'dbg_bld()' macro
for this, so we better us 'dbg_bld()' and kill UBI_IO_DEBUG. This
simplifies the code a tiny bit.

UBI: introduce debugging helper function

2010-10-19T14:19:57+00:00

Introduce a helper function to print hexdump: 'ubi_dbg_print_hex_dump()'.
It is compiled out if debugging is enabled. Will be used in the next patch.

UBI: add write checking

2010-02-01T13:16:37+00:00

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: introduce flash dump helper

2009-08-14T17:02:20+00:00

Useful for debugging problems, compiled in only if UBI debugging
is enabled. This patch also makes the UBI writing function dump
the flash if it fails to write.

UBI: remove bogus debugging checks

2009-07-05T15:47:05+00:00

The 'paranoid_check_empty()' is bogus because, which is easilly
seen on NOR flash, which has long erase cycles, and which may
easilly end-up with half-erased eraseblocks. In this case the
paranoid check fails. I is just wrong to assume that PEBs which
do not have EC headers always contain all 0xFF. Such assumption
should not be made on the I/O level, which is quite low.

Thus, just kill the check.

UBI: add empty eraseblocks verification

2009-07-05T15:47:03+00:00

This patch adds code which makes sure eraseblocks contain all 0xFF
bytes before starting using them. The verification is done only when
debugging checks are enabled.

UBI: fix checkpatch.pl warnings

2008-12-28T10:20:51+00:00

Just minor indentation and "over 80 characters" fixes.
