 [...]
 ==================================================================

The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held
by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi-&gt;device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be
concurrent.

ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach.
ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent
concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with
ubi_cdev_ioctl.

uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3
_______________________|________________________|______________________
ctrl_cdev_ioctl
 ubi_attach_mtd_dev
  uif_init
                           ubi_cdev_ioctl
                            ubi_create_volume
                             cdev_device_add
   ubi_add_volume
   // sysfs exist
   kill_volumes
                                                    ubi_cdev_ioctl
                                                     ubi_remove_volume
                                                      cdev_device_del
                                                       // first free
    ubi_free_volume
     cdev_del
     // double free
   cdev_device_del

And uif_close will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3

                            ubi_create_volume
                             cdev_device_add
  ubi_debugfs_init_dev
  //error goto out_uif;
  uif_close
   kill_volumes
                                                    ubi_cdev_ioctl
                                                     ubi_remove_volume
                                                      cdev_device_del
                                                       // first free
    ubi_free_volume
    // double free

The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device
"available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we
roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between
ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in
vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing
uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num].

ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during
sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not
be deleted before all reference counting are released.
The key process is shown in the following stack.

device_del
  device_remove_attrs
    device_remove_groups
      sysfs_remove_groups
        sysfs_remove_group
          remove_files
            kernfs_remove_by_name
              kernfs_remove_by_name_ns
                __kernfs_remove
                  kernfs_drain

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix a warning
by explicitly adding a break statement instead of letting the code fall
through to the next case.

<title>ubi: Do not zero out EC and VID on ECC-ed NOR flashes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f669e74be820386244290d5824938969d397b8fb</id>
<content type='text'>
For NOR flashes EC and VID are zeroed out before an erase is issued to
make sure UBI does not mistakenly treat the PEB as used and associate it
with an LEB.

But on some flashes, like the Cypress Semper S28 SPI NOR flash family,
multi-pass page programming is not allowed on the default ECC scheme.
This means zeroing out these magic numbers will result in the flash
throwing a page programming error.

Do not zero out EC and VID for such flashes. A writesize &gt; 1 is an
indication of an ECC-ed flash.

<content type='text'>
The MTD layer provides an SLC mode (purely software emulation of SLC
behavior) addressing the paired-pages corruption issue, which was the
main reason for refusing attaching MLC NANDs to UBI.

Relax this rule and allow partitions that have the
MTD_EMULATE_SLC_ON_MLC flag set to be attached.

'PTR_ERR(p) == -E*' is a stronger condition than IS_ERR(p).
Hence, IS_ERR(p) is unneeded.

The semantic patch that generates this commit is as follows:

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression ptr;
constant error_code;
@@
-IS_ERR(ptr) &amp;&amp; (PTR_ERR(ptr) == - error_code)
+PTR_ERR(ptr) == - error_code
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

<title>ubi: Free the normal volumes in error paths of ubi_attach_mtd_dev()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc55dacf7fea793e70c9c75a1acff47a4fb02017</id>
<content type='text'>
The allocated normal volumes saved in ubi-&gt;volumes are not freed
in the error paths in ubi_attach_mtd_dev() and its callees (e.g.
ubi_attach() and ubi_read_volume_table()).

These normal volumes should be freed through kill_volumes() and
vol_release(), but ubi_attach_mtd_dev() may fail before
calling uif_init(), and there will be memory leaks.

So adding a new helper ubi_free_all_volumes() to free the normal
and the internal volumes. And in order to prevent double-free
of volume, reset ubi-&gt;volumes[i] to NULL after freeing.
