ubi: Put MTD device after it is not used

2019-12-05T14:26:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit b95f83ab762dd6211351b9140f99f43644076ca8 ] The MTD device reference is dropped via put_mtd_device, however its field ->index is read and passed to ubi_msg. To fix this, the patch moves the reference dropping after calling ubi_msg. Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

ubi: fastmap: Cancel work upon detach

2018-07-03T09:21:32+00:00

commit 6e7d80161066c99d12580d1b985cb1408bb58cf1 upstream. Ben Hutchings pointed out that 29b7a6fa1ec0 ("ubi: fastmap: Don't flush fastmap work on detach") does not really fix the problem, it just reduces the risk to hit the race window where fastmap work races against free()'ing ubi->volumes[]. The correct approach is making sure that no more fastmap work is in progress before we free ubi data structures. So we cancel fastmap work right after the ubi background thread is stopped. By setting ubi->thread_enabled to zero we make sure that no further work tries to wake the thread.

ubi: Reject MLC NAND

2018-04-24T07:32:05+00:00

commit b5094b7f135be34630e3ea8a98fa215715d0f29d upstream. While UBI and UBIFS seem to work at first sight with MLC NAND, you will most likely lose all your data upon a power-cut or due to read/write disturb. In order to protect users from bad surprises, refuse to attach to MLC NAND.

ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev

2016-08-20T16:09:26+00:00

commit 714fb87e8bc05ff78255afc0dca981e8c5242785 upstream. Install the UBI device object before we arm sysfs. Otherwise udev tries to read sysfs attributes before UBI is ready and udev rules will not match.

ubi: Fix early logging

2016-08-20T16:09:25+00:00

commit bc743f34dfa011e62edd0ea4ae8455be06c083b5 upstream. We cannot use ubi_* logging functions before the UBI object is initialized. Fixes: 3260870331 ("UBI: Extend UBI layer debug/messaging capabilities") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

UBI: Use static class and attribute groups

2015-06-02T11:16:25+00:00

This patch cleans up the manual device_create_file() or class_create_file() calls by replacing with static attribute groups. It simplifies the code and also avoids the possible races between the device/class registration and sysfs creations. For the simplification, also make ubi_class a static instance with initializers, too. Amend a bit by Hujianyang.

UBI: Fastmap: Add new module parameter fm_debug

2015-03-26T21:46:06+00:00

If fm_debug is set fastmap debugging is enabled by default. This is useful if one wants to debug fastmap on an UBI device with serves the rootfs. The the UBI attach mechanism runs long before debugfs can be mounted and chk_fastmap set. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
