Josef Bacik 02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

Artem Bityutskiy 01a4110d2b UBI: fix oops in error path
This patch fixes an oops in the error path of 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()'. If
anything after 'uif_init()' fails, we get an oops in 'cancel_pending()'. The
reason is that 'uif_close()' drops the last reference count for 'ubi->dev' and
whole 'struct ubi_device' is freed. And then
'ubi_wl_close()'->'cancel_pending()' tries to access the 'ubi' pointer and
problems begin.

Note, in 'ubi_detach_mtd_dev()' function we get a device reference to
work-around this issue. Do the same in the error path of
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()'.

Current layout does not allow us to add inline functions to debug.h which use

sub-directories, containing debugging files. This file also creates

Artem Bityutskiy 3627924acf UBI: use __packed instead of __attribute__((packed))
There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and
other macros in order to have potentially portable and more
consistent code, see commit 82ddcb0405.

Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL
is broken, the valid URL is:
http://blog.rlove.org/2005/10/with-little-help-from-your-compiler.html

Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using
__attribute__((packed)):

"WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))"

It is not a big deal for UBI to use __packed, so let's do it.

Artem Bityutskiy 6748482f41 UBI: re-name set volume properties ioctl
Rename the ioctl which sets volume properties from 'UBI_IOCSETPROP' to
'UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP' to reflect the fact that this ioctl is about volume
properties, not device properties. This is also consistent with the
other volume ioctl name - 'UBI_IOCVOLUP'.

The main motivation for the re-name, however, is that we are going
to introduce the per-UBI device "set properties" ioctl, so we need
good and logical naming.

At the same time, re-name the "set volume properties request" data
structure from 'struct ubi_set_prop_req' to
'struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req'.

And re-name 'UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE' to 'UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE'.

Artem Bityutskiy e10b376e98 UBI: make the control character device non-seekable
This patch makes the UBI control device (/dev/ubi_ctrl) non-seekable.
The seek operation does is not applicable to this file, so it is
cleaner to explicitly return error (which the added 'no_llseek()')
does than trying to change the position (which the removed
'default_llseek()' does).

This is an API break, but the only known user of this interface is
mtd-utils which does not need the seeking functionality. And any app
which relies on this is broken, but I'm not aware of such apps.

Artem Bityutskiy 6bef0b6747 UBI: do not select KALLSYMS_ALL
All UBI needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBI debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary.

And the current Kconfig line we have:

select KALLSYMS_ALL if KALLSYMS && DEBUG_KERNEL

is just too complex to be sane and right. But this "if" part there
is needed to prevent "unmet direct dependency" warnings, because
KALLSYMS_ALL depends on KALLSYMS and DEBUG_KERNEL, so we cannot
just select KALLSYMS_ALL.

Anyway, this feels messy, and we do not seem to really need KALLSYMS_ALL,
so select KALLSYMS instead.

1. The buffer contains data from previous operation, e.g., read from
   another PEB previously. The data looks like expected, e.g., if we
   just do not read anything and return - the caller would not
   notice this. E.g., if we are reading a VID header, the buffer may
   contain a valid VID header from another PEB.
2. The driver is buggy and returns use success or -EBADMSG or
   -EUCLEAN, but it does not actually put any data to the buffer.

This may confuse UBI or upper layers - they may think the buffer
contains valid data while in fact it is just old data.

Thus, try to reveal such buggy MTD drivers with simple debugging
code which fills the read buffer with 0x12 constant.

Artem Bityutskiy 3a0592b1dd Revert "UBI: use mtd->writebufsize to set minimal I/O unit size"
This reverts commit a121f64399.

Unfortunately, this commit breaks UBIFS backward compatibility and
makes new UBIFS refuse older UBIFS-formatted media:

UBIFS error: validate_sb: min. I/O unit mismatch: 8 in superblock, 64 real

Thus, we have to revert this patch and work on a better solution.

John Ogness e8cfe00943 UBI: cleanup LEB start calculations
Wrong macro was used in calculating the data offset: UBI_EC_HDR_SIZE instead of
UBI_VID_HDR_SIZE. The data offset should be VID header offset + VID header size
(aligned to the minimum I/O unit).

This was not a bug only because currently UBI_EC_HDR_SIZE and UBI_VID_HDR_SIZE
have the same value of 64 bytes.

Commit message was amended by Artem.

Holger Brunck d4c6381303 UBI: fix NOR erase preparation quirk
In 'nor_erase_prepare()' we want to make sure the UBI headers are
corrupted. But it is possible that one of the headers just contains
all 0xFFs, which is also OK, because UBI will erase it in case of
a power cut.

Anatolij Gustschin a121f64399 UBI: use mtd->writebufsize to set minimal I/O unit size
Previously we used mtd->writesize field to set UBI's minimal
I/O unit size. This sometimes caused UBIFS recovery issues
when mounting an uncleanly unmounted UBIFS partition on NOR
flash since mtd->writesize is 1 byte for NOR flash. The
MTD CFI driver however often performs writing multiple
bytes in one programming operation using the chip's write
buffer. We have to use the size of this write buffer as
a minimal I/O unit size for UBI on NOR flash to fix the
observed UBIFS recovery issues.

Artem Bityutskiy 7ac760c2f7 UBI: fix corrupted PEB detection for NOR flash
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.
