There is a potential execution path in which variable *err*
is compared against UBI_IO_BITFLIPS without being properly
initialized previously.

Fix this by initializing variable *err* to 0.

This condition needs to be fipped around because "err" is uninitialized
when "force" is set.  The Smatch static analysis tool complains and
UBsan will also complain at runtime.

Using UBI_IOCRPEB and UBI_IOCSPEB userspace can force
reading and scrubbing of PEBs.

In case of bitflips UBI will automatically take action
and move data to a different PEB.
This interface allows a daemon to foster your NAND.

The UBI device reference is dropped but then the device is used as a
parameter of ubi_err. The bug is introduced in changing ubi_err's
behavior. The old ubi_err does not require a UBI device as its first

The MTD device reference is dropped via put_mtd_device, however its
field -&gt;index is read and passed to ubi_msg. To fix this, the patch
moves the reference dropping after calling ubi_msg.

<title>ubi: expose the volume CRC check skip flag</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we have the logic for skipping CRC check for static UBI volumes
in the core, let's expose it to users.

This makes use of a padding byte in the volume description data
structure as a flag. This flag only tell for now whether we should skip
the CRC check of a volume.

This checks the UBI volume for which we are trying to skip the CRC check
is static.

Let's also make sure that the flags passed to verify_mkvol_req are
valid.

We voluntarily do not take into account the skip_check flag in
vol_cdev_write() as we want to make sure what we wrote was correctly
written.

Some users of static UBI volumes implement their own integrity check,
thus making the volume CRC check done at open time useless. For
instance, this is the case when one use the ubiblock + dm-verity +
squashfs combination, where dm-verity already checks integrity of the
block device but this time at the block granularity instead of verifying
the whole volume.

Skipping this test drastically improves the boot-time.
