Nodes that are written to flash can only be authenticated through the
index after the next commit. When a journal replay is necessary the
nodes are not yet referenced by the index and thus can't be
authenticated.
This patch overcomes this situation by creating a hash over all nodes
beginning from the commit start node over the reference node(s) and
the buds themselves. From
time to time we insert authentication nodes. Authentication nodes
contain a HMAC from the current hash state, so that they can be
used to authenticate a journal replay up to the point where the
authentication node is. The hash is continued afterwards
so that theoretically we would only have to check the HMAC of
the last authentication node we find.
Overall we get this picture:
,,,,,,,,
,......,...........................................
,. CS , hash1.----. hash2.----.
,. | , . |hmac . |hmac
,. v , . v . v
,.REF#0,-> bud -> bud -> bud.-> auth -> bud -> bud.-> auth ...
,..|...,...........................................
, | ,
, | ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
. | hash3,----.
, | , |hmac
, v , v
, REF#1 -> bud -> bud,-> auth ...
,,,|,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
v
REF#2 -> ...
|
V
...
Note how hash3 covers CS, REF#0 and REF#1 so that it is not possible to
exchange or skip any reference nodes. Unlike the picture suggests the
auth nodes themselves are not hashed.
With this it is possible for an offline attacker to cut each journal
head or to drop the last reference node(s), but not to skip any journal
heads or to reorder any operations.

In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI
devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the
messages. Add ubi number and volume id in ubifs_msg/warn/error
to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info.
For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is
replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable,
ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter.
The output looks like,

Hu (hujianyang <hujianyang@huawei.com>) discovered an issue in the
'empty_log_bytes()' function, which calculates how many bytes are left in the
log:
"
If 'c->lhead_lnum + 1 == c->ltail_lnum' and 'c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size', 'h'
would equalent to 't' and 'empty_log_bytes()' would return 'c->log_bytes'
instead of 0.
"
At this point it is not clear what would be the consequences of this, and
whether this may lead to any problems, but this patch addresses the issue just
in case.

Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a
situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean
reboot. The problem is theoretical, though.
In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The
log has the tail and the head.
Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and
the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the
log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the
same position.
At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount
the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because
this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the
log changes is the commit operation.
The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former
is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly
just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to
the flash media during "commit end" phase.
During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the
commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal
"disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just
move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB
will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes.
When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the
file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point
the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we
started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though.
The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master
node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log
tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again.
And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the
log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we
write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()').
But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and
the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens,
the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in
trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was
erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the
correct log tail at all times.
This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master
node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with
the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween
operations (a) and (b).

We use a circle area to record the log nodes in ubifs. This log area
should not be overlapped. But after researching the code, I found
some conditions may lead log head wraps log ltail. Although we've
fixed the problems discovered, there may be some other issues still
left.
This patch adds assertions where lhead changes to next leb to make
sure ltail is not wrapped.

This patch introduces helper functions for all debugging checks, so instead of
doing
if (!(ubifs_chk_flags & UBIFS_CHK_GEN))
we now do
if (!dbg_is_chk_gen(c))
This is a preparation to further changes where the flags will go away, and
we'll need to only change the helper functions, but the code which utilizes
them won't be touched.
At the same time this patch removes 'dbg_force_in_the_gaps()',
'dbg_force_in_the_gaps_enabled()', and dbg_failure_mode helpers for
consistency.

Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is
re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it
does not allocate write-buffers as well.
This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications
in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are
that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount
it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints:
UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
Analysis of the problem.
When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but
when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not
allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the
same file-system but for the following 2 cases:
1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover
2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery
In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter
case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not
try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just
try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail.
On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB
(@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting.
Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate
write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3
of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is
about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O.
[1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads
to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads
before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately.

Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.
However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.
This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.
This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.
All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

The R/O state may have various reasons:
1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error
However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.
But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.
This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.
In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.
This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

UBI transparently handles write errors by automatically copying
and remapping the affected eraseblock. If UBI is unable to do
that, for example its pool of eraseblocks reserved for bad block
handling is empty, then the error is propagated to UBIFS. UBIFS
must protect the media from falling into an inconsistent state
by immediately switching to read-only mode. In the case of log
updates, this was not being done.
