2016-10-02ubi: Fix races around ubi_refill_pools()Richard Weinberger1-2/+2
When writing a new Fastmap the first thing that happens is refilling the pools in memory. At this stage it is possible that new PEBs from the new pools get already claimed and written with data. If this happens before the new Fastmap data structure hits the flash and we face power cut the freshly written PEB will not scanned and unnoticed. Solve the issue by locking the pools until Fastmap is written. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Fixes: dbb7d2a88d ("UBI: Add fastmap core") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
2016-10-02UBI: introduce the VID buffer conceptBoris Brezillon1-34/+47
Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions make sure to align allocation on ubi->vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi->vid_hdr_shift requirements. This works fine, but is a bit convoluted. Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID header. Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information to the VID header. We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.

2016-06-23ubi: Make recover_peb power cut awareRichard Weinberger1-7/+15
recover_peb() was never power cut aware, if a power cut happened right after writing the VID header upon next attach UBI would blindly use the new partial written PEB and all data from the old PEB is lost. In order to make recover_peb() power cut aware, write the new VID with a proper crc and copy_flag set such that the UBI attach process will detect whether the new PEB is completely written or not. We cannot directly use ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change() since we'd have to unlock the LEB which is facing a write error.

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.

2015-03-26UBI: Fastmap: Fix race after ubi_wl_get_peb()Richard Weinberger1-6/+18
ubi_wl_get_peb() returns a fresh PEB which can be used by user of UBI. Due to the pool logic fastmap will correctly map this PEB upon attach time because it will be scanned. If a new fastmap is written (due to heavy parallel io) while the before the fresh PEB is assigned to the EBA table it will not be scanned as it is no longer in the pool. So, the race window exists between ubi_wl_get_peb() and the EBA table assignment. We have to make sure that no new fastmap can be written while that. To ensure that ubi_wl_get_peb() will grab ubi->fm_sem in read mode and the user of ubi_wl_get_peb() has to release it after the PEB got assigned. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

This function a) requests a new PEB, b) writes data to it, c) returns the old PEB and d) registers the new PEB in the EBA table. For the non-fastmap case this works perfectly fine and is powercut safe. Is fastmap enabled this can lead to issues. If a new fastmap is written between a) and c) the freshly requested PEB is no longer in a pool and will not be scanned upon attaching. If now a powercut happens between c) and d) the freshly requested PEB will not be scanned and the old one got already scheduled for erase. After attaching the EBA table will point to a erased PEB.

2012-05-21UBI: add lnum and vol_id to struct ubi_workJoel Reardon1-8/+8
This is part of a multipart patch to allow UBI to force the erasure of particular logical eraseblock numbers. In this patch, the volume id and LEB number are added to ubi_work data structure, and both are also passed as a parameter to schedule erase to set it appropriately. Whenever ubi_wl_put_peb is called, the lnum is also passed to be forwarded to schedule erase. Later, a new ubi_sync_lnum will be added to execute immediately all work related to that lnum. This was tested by outputting the vol_id and lnum during the schedule of erasure. The ubi thread was disabled and two ubifs drives on separate partitions repeated changed a small number of LEBs. The ubi module was readded, and all the erased LEBs, corresponding to the volumes, were added to the schedule erase queue.

2010-10-19UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+6
Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption. The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy potentially important data. With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead, UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB. IOW, UBI preserves this PEB. Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power cut corrupted PEBs is 8. This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter (Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches) tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier to analyze the corruption.

Currently, when UBI attaches an MTD device and cannot reserve all 1% (by default) of PEBs for bad eraseblocks handling, it prints a warning. However, Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com> is not very happy to see this warning, because he did reserve enough of PEB at the beginning, but with time some PEBs became bad. The warning is not necessary in this case. This patch makes UBI print the warning o if this is a new image o of this is used image and the amount of reserved PEBs is only 10% (or less) of the size of the reserved PEB pool.

2010-06-04UBI: introduce a new IO return codeArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+3
This patch introduces the %UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ return code for the I/O level function. We will use this code in order to distinguish between "corrupted header possibly because this is non-ubi data" and "corrupted header possibly because of real data corruption and ECC error". So far this patch does not introduce any functional change, just a preparation.

2010-06-04UBI: simplify IO error codesArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+2
We do not really need 2 separate error codes for indicating bad VID and bad EC headers (UBI_IO_BAD_EC_HDR, UBI_IO_BAD_VID_HDR), it is enough to have only one UBI_IO_BAD_HDR return code. This patch does not introduce any functional change, only some code simplification.

2009-07-24UBI: fix double free on error pathAdrian Hunter1-0/+1
If we fail in 'ubi_eba_init_scan()', we free 'ubi->volumes[i]->eba_tbl' in there, but also later free it in 'free_internal_volumes()'. Fix this by assigning NULL to 'ubi->volumes[i]->eba_tbl' after it is freed. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-06-10UBI: handle more error codesArtem Bityutskiy1-7/+34
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. This preblems were hunted by Adrian Hunter.
