Since ubiblock_exit() is now called from an init function,
the __exit section no longer makes sense.

<title>ubi: block: fix null-pointer-dereference in ubiblock_create()</title>

Similar to commit adbf4c4954e3 ("ubi: block: fix memleak in
ubiblock_create()"), 'dev-&gt;gd' is not assigned but dereferenced if
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() fails, and leading to a null-pointer-dereference.
Fix it by using pr_err() and variable 'dev' to print error log.

Additionally, the log in the error handle path of idr_alloc() has
been improved by using pr_err(), too. Before initializing device
name, using dev_err() will print error log with 'null' instead of
the actual device name, like this:
  block (null): ...
        ~~~~~~
It is unclear. Using pr_err() can print more details of the device.
The improved log is:
  ubiblock0_0: ...

<title>ubifs: correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition and improve code clarity</title>
<updated>2024-07-12T19:52:24+00:00</updated>

<id>7037c96d8c42965eb93e6b96cf921399c283d431</id>
<content type='text'>
The UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro, which defines the maximum length of the UBIFS
debugfs directory name, has an incorrect formula and misleading comments.
The current formula is (3 + 1 + 2*2 + 1), which assumes that both UBI device
number and volume ID are limited to 2 characters. However, UBI device number
ranges from 0 to 31 (2 characters), and volume ID ranges from 0 to 127 (up
to 3 characters).

Although the current code works due to the cancellation of mathematical
errors (9 + 1 = 10, which matches the correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN value), it
can lead to confusion and potential issues in the future.

This patch aims to improve the code clarity and maintainability by making
the following changes:

1. Corrects the UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition to (3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1),
   accommodating the maximum lengths of both UBI device number and volume ID,
   plus the separators and null terminator.
2. Updates the snprintf calls to use UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN instead of
   UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN + 1, removing the unnecessary +1.
3. Modifies the error checks to compare against UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN using &gt;=
   instead of &gt;, aligning with the corrected macro definition.
4. Removes the redundant +1 in the dfs_dir_name array definitions in ubi.h
   and debug.h.

While these changes do not affect the runtime behavior, they make the code
more readable, maintainable, and less prone to future errors.

v2-&gt;v3:

 - Removes the duplicated UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN and UBIFS_DFS_DIR_NAME macro
   definitions in ubifs.h, as they are already defined in debug.h.

The use of do_div() in ubi_nvmem_reg_read() makes calling it on
32-bit machines rather expensive. Since the 'from' variable is
known to be a 32-bit quantity, it is clearly never needed and
can be optimized into a regular division operation.

memory, so move the ubi_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.

<content type='text'>
In an ideal world we would like UBI to be used where ever possible on a
NAND chip. And with UBI support in ARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot it
is possible to achieve an (almost-)all-UBI flash layout. Hence the need
for a way to also use UBI volumes to store board-level constants, such
as MAC addresses and calibration data of wireless interfaces.

Add UBI volume NVMEM driver module exposing UBI volumes as NVMEM
providers. Allow UBI devices to have a "volumes" firmware subnode with
volumes which may be compatible with "nvmem-cells".
Access to UBI volumes via the NVMEM interface at this point is
read-only, and it is slow, opening and closing the UBI volume for each
access due to limitations of the NVMEM provider API.

In an ideal world we would like UBI to be used where ever possible on a
NAND chip. And with UBI support in ARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot it
is possible to achieve an (almost-)all-UBI flash layout. Hence the need
for a way to also use UBI volumes to store board-level constants, such
as MAC addresses and calibration data of wireless interfaces.

Add UBI volume NVMEM driver module exposing UBI volumes as NVMEM
providers. Allow UBI devices to have a "volumes" firmware subnode with
volumes which may be compatible with "nvmem-cells".
Access to UBI volumes via the NVMEM interface at this point is
read-only, and it is slow, opening and closing the UBI volume for each
access due to limitations of the NVMEM provider API.
