The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>mtd: clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly</title>

<id>5788ccf3c84f5587418a80128a3653aa35abf00b</id>
<content type='text'>
The function call process is as follows:
	mtd_blktrans_work()
	  while (1)
	    do_blktrans_request()
	      mtdblock_writesect()
	        do_cached_write()
	          write_cached_data() /*if cache_state is STATE_DIRTY*/
	            erase_write()

write_cached_data() returns failure without modifying cache_state
and cache_offset. So when do_cached_write() is called again,
write_cached_data() will be called again to perform erase_write()
on the same cache_offset.

But if this cache_offset points to a bad block, erase_write() will
always return -EIO. Writing to this mtdblk is equivalent to losing
the current data, and repeatedly writing to the bad block.

Repeatedly writing a bad block has no real benefits,
but brings some negative effects:
1 Lost subsequent data
2 Loss of flash device life
3 erase_write() bad blocks are very time-consuming. For example:
	the function do_erase_oneblock() in chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c or
	chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.c may take more than 20 seconds to return

Therefore, when erase_write() returns -EIO in write_cached_data(),
clear cache_state to avoid writing to bad blocks repeatedly.

Looks like some drivers define MTD names with a colon in it, thus
making mtdpart= parsing impossible. Let's fix the parser to gracefully
handle that case: the last ':' in a partition definition sequence is
considered instead of the first one.

<title>ubi: Select fastmap anchor PEBs considering wear level rules</title>
<updated>2020-06-02T20:53:05+00:00</updated>

<id>4b68bf9a69d22dd512d61d5f0ba01b065b01ede6</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a risk that the fastmap anchor PEB is alternating between
just two PEBs, the current anchor and the previous anchor that was just
deleted. As the fastmap pools gets the first take on free PEBs, the
pools may leave no free PEBs to be selected as the new anchor,
resulting in the two PEBs alternating behaviour. If the anchor PEBs gets
a high erase count the PEBs will not be used by the pools but remain in
ubi-&gt;free, even more increasing the likelihood they will be used as
anchors.

Getting stuck using only a couple of PEBs continuously will result in an
uneven wear, eventually leading to failure.

To fix this:

- Choose the fastmap anchor when the most free PEBs are available. This is
  during rebuilding of the fastmap pools, after the unused pool PEBs are
  added to ubi-&gt;free but before the pools are populated again from the
  free PEBs. Also reserve an additional second best PEB as a candidate
  for the next time the fast map anchor is updated. If a better PEB is
  found the next time the fast map anchor is updated, the candidate is
  made available for building the pools.

- Enable anchor move within the anchor area again as it is useful for
  distributing wear.

- The anchor candidate for the next fastmap update is the most suited free
  PEB. Check this PEB's erase count during wear leveling. If the wear
  leveling limit is exceeded, the PEB is considered unsuitable for now. As
  all other non used anchor area PEBs should be even worse, free up the
  used anchor area PEB with the lowest erase count.
