<content type='text'>
Adds a new set of functions to deal with scatter gather.
ubi_eba_read_leb_sg() will read from a LEB into a scatter gather list.
The new data structure struct ubi_sgl will be used within UBI to
hold the scatter gather list itself and metadata to have a cursor
within the list.

<title>UBI: Implement UBI_METAONLY</title>

<content type='text'>
UBI_METAONLY is a new open mode for UBI volumes, it indicates
that only meta data is being changed.
Meta data in terms of UBI volumes means data which is stored in the
UBI volume table but not on the volume itself.
While it does not interfere with UBI_READONLY and UBI_READWRITE
it is not allowed to use UBI_METAONLY together with UBI_EXCLUSIVE.

If there is more then one UBI device mounted, there is no way to
distinguish between messages from different UBI devices.
Add device number to all ubi layer message types.

The R/O block driver messages were replaced by pr_* since
ubi_device structure is not used by it.

Amended a bit by Artem.

<title>UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum</title>

<id>62f384552b6756cf1ea71f8762d1e97dc77dbd90</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of
particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality
is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush
were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the
erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id.
External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added
to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush().

This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results
in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was
changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the
new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum,
correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all
cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal
of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and
ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and
emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally.

Artem: amended the patch.

This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubi_err' instead.
The idea of 'dbg_err()' was to compile out some error message to make the
binary a bit smaller - but I think it was a bad idea.

Without the data type hint UBI2 (fastmap) will be easier to implement.

not have the '-&gt;sync()' method, which allows us to remove all direct
