2009-01-27UBIFS: fix no_chk_data_crcArtem Bityutskiy
When data CRC checking is disabled, UBIFS returns incorrect return code from the 'try_read_node()' function (0 instead of 1, which means CRC error), which make the caller re-read the data node again, but using a different code patch, so the second read is fine. Thus, we read the same node twice. And the result of this is that UBIFS is slower with no_chk_data_crc option than it is with chk_data_crc option. This patches fixes the problem.

2008-09-30UBIFS: check data CRC when in error stateArtem Bityutskiy
When UBIFS switches to R/O mode because of an error, it is reasonable to enable data CRC checking. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-09-30UBIFS: add no_chk_data_crc mount optionAdrian Hunter
UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable. Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata. Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

2008-08-13UBIFS: make ubifs_ro_mode() not inlineAdrian Hunter
We use ubifs_ro_mode() quite a lot, and not in fast-path, so there is no reason to blow the code up by having it inlined. Also, we usually want R/O mode change to be seen to other CPUs as soon as possible, so when we make this a function call, we will automatically have a memory barrier.
