UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum

2012-05-21T08:34:41+00:00

This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id. External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush(). This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum, correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally. Artem: amended the patch. Signed-off-by: Joel Reardon Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: get rid of dbg_err

2012-05-20T17:26:00+00:00

This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubi_err' instead. The idea of 'dbg_err()' was to compile out some error message to make the binary a bit smaller - but I think it was a bad idea. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: Kill data type hint

2012-05-20T17:25:59+00:00

We do not need this feature and to our shame it even was not working and there was a bug found very recently. -- Artem Bityutskiy Without the data type hint UBI2 (fastmap) will be easier to implement. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: do not use mtd->sync directly

2012-01-09T18:26:21+00:00

This patch teaches 'mtd_sync()' to do nothing when the MTD driver does not have the '->sync()' method, which allows us to remove all direct 'mtd->sync' accesses. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

UBI: provide LEB offset information

2011-03-08T08:12:48+00:00

Provide the LEB offset information in the UBI device information data structure. This piece of information is required by UBIFS to find out what are the LEB offsets which are aligned to the max. write size. If LEB offset not aligned to max. write size, then UBIFS has to take this into account to write more optimally. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: incorporate maximum write size

2011-03-08T08:12:48+00:00

Incorporate MTD write buffer size into UBI device information because UBIFS needs this field. UBI does not use it ATM, just provides to upper layers in 'struct ubi_device_info'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
