The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.
The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.
We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.
- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).
- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
particular CPU which requires more locking).
- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.
This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.
This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.
This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if
1. EC header is OK.
2. VID header is corrupted.
3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"
In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
scary warnings, wrongly.
This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.

Now it once again possible to remove mtdtrans module.
You still need to ensure that block devices of that module aren't mounted.
This is due to the fact that as long as a block device is open, it still exists,
therefore if we were to allow module removal, this block device might became used again.
This time in addition to code review, I also made the code
pass some torture tests like module reload in a loop + read in a loop +
card insert/removal all at same time.
The blktrans_open/blktrans_release don't take the mtd table lock because:
While device is added (that includes execution of add_mtd_blktrans_dev)
the lock is already taken
Now suppose the device will never be removed. In this case even if we have changes
in mtd table, the entry that we need will stay exactly the same. (Note that we don't
look at table at all, just following private pointer of block device).
Now suppose that someone tries to remove the mtd device.
This will be propagated to trans driver which _ought_ to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev
which will take the per device lock, release the mtd device and set trans->mtd = NULL.
>From this point on, following opens won't even be able to know anything about that mtd device
(which at that point is likely not to exist)
Also the same care is taken not to trip over NULL mtd pointer in blktrans_dev_release.

This patch changes the loop over the "reg" tuples to not exit
directly upon of_address_to_resource() failure but to continue
with the next "reg" tuple instead. This failure could be due to
size = 0, which might be passed via the device-tree.
This is needed for boards, where a "reg" tuple might have size 0
(of_address_to_resource() returns with EINVAL when size = 0).
Example:
Fully equipped board:
reg = <0 0x00000000 0x00400000
0 0x00400000 0x00400000>;
Partially equipped board:
reg = <0 0x00000000 0x00400000
0 0x00400000 0x00000000>;
This could be the case on boards with runtime detection of
multiple NOR flash configurations where the detected flash size
is inserted into the dtb in U-Boot.

The first (sixt) byte in the OOB area contains vendor's bad block
information. During identification of the NAND chip this information is
collected by scanning the complete chip.
The option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT is used to store this information in a sector so
we don't have to scan the complete flash. Unfortunately the code stores
a marker in order to recognize the BBT in the OOB area. This will fail
if the OOB area is completely used for ECC.
This patch introduces the option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB which has to be
used with NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT. It will then store BBT on flash without
touching the OOB area. The BBT format on flash remains same except the
first page starts with the recognition pattern followed by the version byte.
This change was tested in nandsim and it looks good so far :)
