ubi: ubi_get_ec_info: Fix compiling error 'cast specifies array type'

2025-01-20T08:09:24+00:00

On risc V platform, there is a type conversion for the return value (unsigned long type) of __untagged_addr_remote() in function untagged_addr(). The compiler will complain when the parameter 'addr' is an array type: arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:33:9: error: cast specifies array type (__force __typeof__(addr))__untagged_addr_remote(current->mm, __addr) Fix it by converting the input parameter as a pointer.

ubi: Implement ioctl for detailed erase counters

2025-01-18T14:32:52+00:00

Currently, "max_ec" can be read from sysfs, which provides a limited view of the flash device’s wear. In certain cases, such as bugs in the wear-leveling algorithm, specific blocks can be worn down more than others, resulting in uneven wear distribution. Also some use cases can wear the erase blocks of the fastmap area more heavily than other parts of flash. Providing detailed erase counter values give a better understanding of the overall flash wear and is needed to be able to calculate for example expected life time. There exists more detailed info in debugfs, but this information is only available for debug builds.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

ubi: fastmap: Add control in 'UBI_IOCATT' ioctl to reserve PEBs for filling pools

2023-10-28T21:16:00+00:00

This patch imports a new field 'need_resv_pool' in struct 'ubi_attach_req' to control whether or not reserving free PEBs for filling pool/wl_pool. Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217787 Signed-off-by: Zhihao Cheng Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

ubi: fastmap: Add fastmap control support for 'UBI_IOCATT' ioctl

2022-09-21T16:29:18+00:00

[1] suggests that fastmap is suitable for large flash devices. Module parameter 'fm_autoconvert' is a coarse grained switch to enable all ubi devices to generate fastmap, which may turn on fastmap even for small flash devices. This patch imports a new field 'disable_fm' in struct 'ubi_attach_req' to support following situations by ioctl 'UBI_IOCATT'. [old functions] A. Disable 'fm_autoconvert': Disbable fastmap for all ubi devices B. Enable 'fm_autoconvert': Enable fastmap for all ubi devices [new function] C. Enable 'fm_autoconvert', set 'disable_fm' for given device: Don't create new fastmap and do full scan (existed fastmap will be destroyed) for the given ubi device. A simple test case in [2].

compat_ioctl: move drivers to compat_ptr_ioctl

2019-10-23T15:23:43+00:00

Each of these drivers has a copy of the same trivial helper function to convert the pointer argument and then call the native ioctl handler. We now have a generic implementation of that, so use it.
