2012-05-20UBI: rename scan.c to attach.cArtem Bityutskiy1-1615/+0
Finally, rename the scan.c file. Now adding fastmap support won't look that hacky anymore. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: rename UBI_SCAN_UNKNOWN_ECArtem Bityutskiy1-9/+9
Rename the constant to UBI_UNKNOWN, for the same reason that we are going to add nother attaching method and re-use the same data structures, so the "SCAN" in the name becomes incorrect. I've also removed the "_EC" part because Joel is going to use this constant for other fields in the attaching info data structures. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: move and rename attach_by_scanningArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+50
Rename the 'attach_by_scanning()' function to 'ubi_attach()' and move it to scan.c. Richard will plug his fastmap stuff there. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: amend comments after all the renamingsArtem Bityutskiy1-56/+55
This patch amends commentaries in scan.[ch] to match the new logic. Reminder - we did the restructuring to prepare the code for adding the fastmap. This patch also renames a couple of functions - it was too difficult to separate out that change and I decided that it is not too bad to have it in the same patch with commentaries changes.

2012-05-20UBI: make ubi_scan_erase_peb static and renameArtem Bityutskiy1-4/+4
The 'ubi_scan_erase_peb()' is used only in scan.c so can be static. Also re-name it to 'early_erase_peb()' because we tend to use "ubi_" prefix only for non-static fuction and also because the new name is better. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: rename sv to avArtem Bityutskiy1-120/+120
After re-naming the 'struct ubi_scan_volume' we should adjust all variables named 'sv' to something else, because 'sv' stands for "scanning volume". Let's rename it to 'av' which stands for "attaching volume" which is a bit more consistent and has the same length, which makes re-naming easy.

2012-05-20UBI: rename seb to aebArtem Bityutskiy1-148/+148
After re-naming the 'struct ubi_scan_leb' we should adjust all variables named 'seb' to something else, because 'seb' stands for "scanning eraseblock".

2012-05-20UBI: rename struct ubi_scan_infoArtem Bityutskiy1-20/+21
Rename 'struct ubi_scan_info' to 'struct ubi_attach_info'. This is part of the code re-structuring I am trying to do in order to add fastmap in a more logical way. Fastmap can share a lot with scanning, including the attach-time data structures, which all now have "scan" word in the name. Let's get rid of this word.

Fastmap can share a lot with scanning, including the attach-time data structures, which all now have "scan" word in the name. Let's get rid of this word and use "ainf" instead which stands for "attach information". It has the same length as "scan" so re-naming is trivial.

2012-05-20UBI: get rid of dbg_errArtem Bityutskiy1-5/+5
This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubi_err' instead. The idea of 'dbg_err()' was to compile out some error message to make the binary a bit smaller - but I think it was a bad idea. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: more of clean-up terminology for self-checksArtem Bityutskiy1-4/+4
We have the "sefl-check" feature in UBI, but for historical reasons many corresponding functions and commentaries in the code use term "paranoid check" instead. Let's clean this up and use "self-check" everywhere. This patch renames functions, amends messages and kills several redundant debugging messages.

2012-05-20UBI: remove Kconfig debugging optionArtem Bityutskiy1-8/+0
This patch kills the UBI debugging Kconfig option completely and makes all the debugging stuff to be always compiled-in. It was pain in the neck to maintain this useless option because all users I am aware of have debugging enabled anyway - how else will you diagnose errors otherwise?

2012-05-20UBI: always dump VID and EC headers in case of errorsArtem Bityutskiy1-6/+6
UBI (and UBIFS) are a bit over-engineered WRT debugging. The idea was to link as few as possible when debugging is disabled, but the downside is that most people produce bug reports which are difficult to understand. Always dump the VID and EC headers' contents in case of errors when it is helpful. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2012-05-20UBI: always dump the stack on errorArtem Bityutskiy1-1/+1
UBI (and UBIFS) are a bit over-engineered WRT debugging. The idea was to link as few as possible when debugging is disabled, but the downside is that most people produce bug reports which are difficult to understand. This patch weeds out the 'ubi_dbg_dump_stack()' function and turns it into 'dump_stack()' - it is always useful to have stack dump in case of an error.

2012-02-29UBI: fix error handling in ubi_scan()Richard Weinberger1-4/+4
Two bad things can happen in ubi_scan(): 1. If kmem_cache_create() fails we jump to out_si and call ubi_scan_destroy_si() which calls kmem_cache_destroy(). But si->scan_leb_slab is NULL. 2. If process_eb() fails we jump to out_vidh, call kmem_cache_destroy() and ubi_scan_destroy_si() which calls again kmem_cache_destroy().

2011-06-01UBI: use debugfs for the extra checks knobsArtem Bityutskiy1-1/+1
This patch introduces debugfs support to UBI. All the UBI stuff is kept in the "ubi" debugfs directory, which contains per-UBI device "ubi/ubiX" sub-directories, containing debugging files. This file also creates "ubi/ubiX/chk_gen" and "ubi/ubiX/chk_io" knobs for switching general and I/O extra checks on and off. And it removes the 'debug_chks' UBI module parameters.

2011-03-16UBI: make self-checks dynamicArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+6
This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code. This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

2011-02-06UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objectsArtem Bityutskiy1-11/+21
During scanning UBI allocates one struct ubi_scan_leb object for each PEB, so it can end up allocating thousands of them. Use slab cache to reduce memory consumption for these 48-byte objects, because currently used 'kmalloc()' ends up allocating 64 bytes per object, instead of 48. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-12-03UBI: fix corrupted PEB detection for NOR flashArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+4
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. Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> for tracking this down.

2010-10-21UBI: tighten the corrupted PEB criteriaArtem Bityutskiy1-11/+34
If we get a bit-flip of ECC error while reading the data area, do not add it to corrupted list, because it is possible that this is just unstable PEB with corruptions caused by unclean reboots. This patch also improves commentaries. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-21UBI: fix check_data_ff return codeArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+5
When the data does not contain all 0xFF bytes, 'check_data_ff()' should return 1, not -EINVAL; Also, the caller ('process_eb()') should not add the PEB to the "corrupted" list if there was a read error. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-21UBI: remember copy_flag while scanningArtem Bityutskiy1-10/+10
While scanning the flash we read all VID headers and store some important information in 'struct ubi_scan_leb'. Store also the 'copy_flag' value there as it is needed when comparing LEBs. We do not increase memory consumption because this is just one bit and we have plenty of spare bits in 'struct ubi_scan_leb' (sizeof(struct ubi_scan_leb) is 48 both with and without this patch). Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy1-29/+19
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. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: add truly corrupted PEBs to corrupted listArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+74
Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted, which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes. At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI preserving them. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: do not put eraseblocks to the corrupted list unnecessarilyArtem Bityutskiy1-62/+83
Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning: 1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased 2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of corruption ASAP. However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid killing potentially valuable user data. This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: separate out corrupted listArtem Bityutskiy1-11/+34
This patch introduces 'add_corrupted()' function and separates out 'corr' list manipulation from the common 'add_to_list()' function. This is just a preparation for further changes - this patch does not change functionality. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: change cascade of ifs to switch statementsArtem Bityutskiy1-13/+32
This patch improves readability and simplifies scanning code by changing a long cascade of 'if' statements to a switch statement. This should presumably be a little faster as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: rename a local variableArtem Bityutskiy1-7/+7
Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit more readable. 'ec_err' is more appropriate because it sounds more like 'error when EC was read' and it looks more logical because we use it together with 'err'. Just a minor nicification which should improve the rather complex scanning code. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: handle bit-flips when no header foundArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+2
Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only 0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list, even though there were bit-flips. Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

2010-10-19UBI: remove duplicate IO error codesArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+3
The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same and mean that there are only 0xFF bytes instead of headers. Simplify UBI a little by turning them into a single 'UBI_IO_FF' error code. Also, stop maintaining commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' which are almost identical to commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-10-19UBI: rename IO error codeArtem Bityutskiy1-4/+4
Rename UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ into UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG which is presumably more self-documenting and readable. Indeed, the '_READ' suffix does not tell much and even confuses, while '_EBADMSG' tells about uncorrectable ECC error, because we use -EBADMSG all over the place to represent ECC errors.

2010-08-30UBI: fix forward compatibilityArtem Bityutskiy1-1/+1
Commit 0798cea8c2e1afee59686c51d27d0e96b05e42d1 "UBI: improve corrupted flash handling" broke delet-compatible volumes handling - it introduced a limit of 8 eraseblocks which may be corrupted. And delete-compatible eraseblocks are added to the "corrupted" list, so if we'd have a large delete-compatible volume, UBI would refuse it. The fix is to add delete-compatible volumes to the erase list instead. Indeed, they are corrupted, we just have to erase them. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
