UBI can be built into the kernel or be compiled as a kernel module.
Further on the command line one can specify MTD devices to be attach to
UBI while loading. In the current implementation the UBI driver refuses
to load if one of the MTD devices cannot be attached.
Consider:
1) UBI compiled into the kernel and
2) a MTD device specified on the command line and
3) this MTD device contains bogus data (for whatever reason).
During init UBI tries to attach the MTD device is this fails the whole
UBI subsystem isn't initialized. Later the userspace cannot attach any
MTD to UBI because UBI isn't loaded.
This patch keeps the current behaviour: if UBI is compiled as a module
and a MTD device cannot be attached the UBI module cannot be loaded,
but changes it for the UBI-is-built-into-the-kernel usecase.
If UBI is builtin, a not attachable MTD device doen't stop UBI from
initializing. This slightly modifies the behaviour if multiple MTD
devices are specified on the command line. Now every MTD device is
probed and, if possible, attached, i.e. a faulty MTD device doesn't
stop the others from being attached.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

In the error path of 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' we have a tricky situation:
we have to release things differently depending on at which point
the failure happening. Namely, if @ubi->dev is not initialized, we have
to free everything ourselves. But if it was, we should not free the @ubi
object, because it will be freed in the 'dev_release()' function. And
we did not get this situation right.
This patch introduces additional argument to the 'uif_init()' function.
On exit, this argument indicates whether the final 'free(ubi)' will
happen in 'dev_release()' or not. So the caller always knows how to
properly release the resources.
Impact: all memory is now correctly released when UBI fails to attach
an MTD device.

ubiupdatevol -t does the following:
- ubi_start_update()
- set_update_marker()
- for all LEBs ubi_eba_unmap_leb()
- clear_update_marker()
- ubi_wl_flush()
ubi_wl_flush() physically erases all PEB, once it returns all PEBs are
empty. clear_update_marker() has the update marker written after return.
If there is a power cut between the last two functions then the UBI
volume has no longer the "update" marker set and may have some valid
LEBs while some of them may be gone.
If that volume in question happens to be a UBIFS volume, then mount
will fail with

More testing of NOR flash against power cuts showed that sometimes
eraseblocks may be unwritable, and we cannot really invalidate
them before erasure. But in this case the eraseblock probably
contains garbage anyway, and we do not have to invalidate the
headers. This assumption might be not true, but this is at least
what I have observed. So if we cannot invalidate the headers,
we make sure that the PEB does not contain valid VID header.
If this is true, everything is fine, otherwise we panic.
Useful for debugging problems, compiled in only if UBI debugging
is enabled. This patch also makes the UBI writing function dump
the flash if it fails to write.

There was a bug report recently where UBI prints:
UBI error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach by scanning, error -22
error messages and refuses to attach a PEB. It turned out to be a
buggy flash driver which returned garbage to almost every UBI read.
This patch makes UBI print a better message in such cases. Namely,
if UBI finds 8 or more corrupted PEBs, it prints a warning and
lists the corrupted PEBs.

In case of NOR flash, UBI zeroes EC and VID headers' magic,
in order to detect interrupted erasures. It first zeroes out
the EC magic, then VID magic. However, if a power cut happens
in between, we'll end up with a corrupted EC header and a valid
VID header, in which case UBI accepts the PEB, but prints a
warning. This patch makes sure we first zero out the VID
magic, then the EC magic, not vice versa. This is just a
small amendment to prevent warning messages.

This commit fixes NOR flash recovery issues observed with Spansion
S29GL512N NOR.
When NOR erases, it first fills PEBs with zeroes, then sets all bytes
to 0xFF. Filling with zeroes starts from the end of the PEB. And when
power is cut, this results in PEBs containing correct EC and VID headers
but corrupted with zeros at the end. This confuses UBI and it mistakinly
accepts these PEBs and associate them with LEBs.
Fis this issue by zeroing EC and VID magics before erasing PEBs, to
make UBI later refuse zem.

The UBIFS WL worker may encounter read errors and there is logic
which makes a decision whether we should do one of:
1. cancel the operation and move the PEB with the read errors to
the 'erroneous' list;
2. switch to R/O mode.
ATM, only -EIO errors trigger 1., other errors trigger 2. The idea
is that if we know we encountered an I/O error, do 1. Otherwise,
we do not know how to react, and do 2., just in case. E.g., if
the underlying driver became crazy because of a bug, we do not
want to harm any data, and switch to R/O mode.
This patch does 2 things:
1. Makes sure reads from the source PEB always cause 1. This is
more consistent with other reads which come from the upper
layers and never cause R/O.
2. Teaches UBI to do 1. also on -EBADMSG, UBI_IO_BAD_VID_HDR,
-ENOMEM, and -ETIMEOUT. But this is only when reading the
target PEB.

UBI volume notifications are intended to create the API to get clients
notified about volume creation/deletion, renaming and re-sizing. A
client can subscribe to these notifications using 'ubi_volume_register()'
and cancel the subscription using 'ubi_volume_unregister()'. When UBI
volumes change, a blocking notifier is called. Clients also can request
"added" events on all volumes that existed before client subscribed
to the notifications.
If we use notifications instead of calling functions like 'ubi_gluebi_xxx()',
we can make the MTD emulation layer to be more flexible: build it as a
separate module and load/unload it on demand.
