2016-05-24UBI: Fix static volume checks when Fastmap is usedRichard Weinberger
Ezequiel reported that he's facing UBI going into read-only mode after power cut. It turned out that this behavior happens only when updating a static volume is interrupted and Fastmap is used. A possible trace can look like: ubi0 warning: ubi_io_read_vid_hdr [ubi]: no VID header found at PEB 2323, only 0xFF bytes ubi0 warning: ubi_eba_read_leb [ubi]: switch to read-only mode CPU: 0 PID: 833 Comm: ubiupdatevol Not tainted 4.6.0-rc2-ARCH #4 Hardware name: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. 300E4C/300E5C/300E7C/NP300E5C-AD8AR, BIOS P04RAP 10/15/2012 0000000000000286 00000000eba949bd ffff8800c45a7b38 ffffffff8140d841 ffff8801964be000 ffff88018eaa4800 ffff8800c45a7bb8 ffffffffa003abf6 ffffffff850e2ac0 8000000000000163 ffff8801850e2ac0 ffff8801850e2ac0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8140d841>] dump_stack+0x63/0x82 [<ffffffffa003abf6>] ubi_eba_read_leb+0x486/0x4a0 [ubi] [<ffffffffa00453b3>] ubi_check_volume+0x83/0xf0 [ubi] [<ffffffffa0039d97>] ubi_open_volume+0x177/0x350 [ubi] [<ffffffffa00375d8>] vol_cdev_open+0x58/0xb0 [ubi] [<ffffffff8124b08e>] chrdev_open+0xae/0x1d0 [<ffffffff81243bcf>] do_dentry_open+0x1ff/0x300 [<ffffffff8124afe0>] ? cdev_put+0x30/0x30 [<ffffffff81244d36>] vfs_open+0x56/0x60 [<ffffffff812545f4>] path_openat+0x4f4/0x1190 [<ffffffff81256621>] do_filp_open+0x91/0x100 [<ffffffff81263547>] ? __alloc_fd+0xc7/0x190 [<ffffffff812450df>] do_sys_open+0x13f/0x210 [<ffffffff812451ce>] SyS_open+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff81a99e32>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 UBI checks static volumes for data consistency and reads the whole volume upon first open. If the volume is found erroneous users of UBI cannot read from it, but another volume update is possible to fix it. The check is performed by running ubi_eba_read_leb() on every allocated LEB of the volume. For static volumes ubi_eba_read_leb() computes the checksum of all data stored in a LEB. To verify the computed checksum it has to read the LEB's volume header which stores the original checksum. If the volume header is not found UBI treats this as fatal internal error and switches to RO mode. If the UBI device was attached via a full scan the assumption is correct, the volume header has to be present as it had to be there while scanning to get known as mapped. If the attach operation happened via Fastmap the assumption is no longer correct. When attaching via Fastmap UBI learns the mapping table from Fastmap's snapshot of the system state and not via a full scan. It can happen that a LEB got unmapped after a Fastmap was written to the flash. Then UBI can learn the LEB still as mapped and accessing it returns only 0xFF bytes. As UBI is not a FTL it is allowed to have mappings to empty PEBs, it assumes that the layer above takes care of LEB accounting and referencing. UBIFS does so using the LEB property tree (LPT). For static volumes UBI blindly assumes that all LEBs are present and therefore special actions have to be taken. The described situation can happen when updating a static volume is interrupted, either by a user or a power cut. The volume update code first unmaps all LEBs of a volume and then writes LEB by LEB. If the sequence of operations is interrupted UBI detects this either by the absence of LEBs, no volume header present at scan time, or corrupted payload, detected via checksum. In the Fastmap case the former method won't trigger as no scan happened and UBI automatically thinks all LEBs are present. Only by reading data from a LEB it detects that the volume header is missing and incorrectly treats this as fatal error. To deal with the situation ubi_eba_read_leb() from now on checks whether we attached via Fastmap and handles the absence of a volume header like a data corruption error. This way interrupted static volume updates will correctly get detected also when Fastmap is used.

2016-05-24UBI: Set free_count to zero before walking through erase listHeiko Schocher
Set free_count to zero before walking through ai->erase list in wl_init(). Found in U-Boot as U-Boot has no workqueue/threads, it immediately calls erase_worker(), which increase for each erased block free_count. Without this patch, free_count gets after this initialized to zero in wl_init(), so the free_count variable always has the maybe wrong value 0 in U-Boot.

2015-12-16mtd: ubi: fixup error correction in do_sync_erase()Sebastian Siewior
Since fastmap we gained do_sync_erase(). This function can return an error and its error handling isn't obvious. First the memory allocation for struct ubi_work can fail and as such struct ubi_wl_entry is leaked. However if the memory allocation succeeds then the tail function takes care of the struct ubi_wl_entry. A free here could result in a double free. To make the error handling simpler, I split the tail function into one piece which does the work and another which frees the struct ubi_work which is passed as argument. As result do_sync_erase() can keep the struct on stack and we get rid of one error source.

We are checking dfs_rootdir for error value or NULL. But in the conditional ternary operator we returned -ENODEV if dfs_rootdir contains an error value and returned PTR_ERR(dfs_rootdir) if dfs_rootdir is NULL. So in the case of dfs_rootdir being NULL we actually assigned 0 to err and returned it to the caller implying a success. Lets return -ENODEV when dfs_rootdir is NULL else return PTR_ERR(dfs_rootdir).

2015-06-02UBI: block: Dynamically allocate minor numbersDan Ehrenberg
This patch makes ubiblock devices have minor numbers beginning from 0, allocated dynamically independently of the ubi device/volume number. This property becomes useful because, on 32-bit architectures with LFS turned off in a userspace program, device minor numbers over 8 bits cause stat to return -EOVERFLOW. If the device number is high (>1) due to multiple MTD partitions, such an overflow will occur. While enabling LFS is clearly a nicer solution, it's often difficult to turn on in practice globally as many widely distributed packages don't work with LFS on. Other storage systems have their own workarounds, with SCSI making multiple device majors and MMC having a config option for the number of partitions per device. A completely dynamic minor numbering is simpler than these. It is unlikely that anyone is depending on a static minor number since the major is dynamic anyway. In addition, ubiblock is still relatively new, so now is the time to make such changes.

2015-03-26UBI: Fastmap: Remove is_fm_block()Richard Weinberger
