commit d005f8c6588efcfbe88099b6edafc6f58c84a9c1 upstream.

A detach hung is possible when a race occurs between the detach process
and the ubi background thread. The following sequences outline the race:

  ubi thread: if (list_empty(&amp;ubi-&gt;works)...

  ubi detach: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &amp;kthread-&gt;flags)
              =&gt; by kthread_stop()
              wake_up_process()
              =&gt; ubi thread is still running, so 0 is returned

  ubi thread: set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
              schedule()
              =&gt; ubi thread will never be scheduled again

  ubi detach: wait_for_completion()
              =&gt; hung task!

To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set the
task state, so the ubi thread will either see the stop bit and exit or
the task state is reset to runnable such that it isn't scheduled out
indefinitely.

commit f78e5623f45bab2b726eec29dc5cefbbab2d0b1c upstream.

The fastmap update code might erase the current fastmap anchor PEB
in case it doesn't find any new free PEB. When a power cut happens
in this situation we must not have any outdated fastmap anchor PEB
on the device, because that would be used to attach during next
boot.
The easiest way to make that sure is to erase all outdated fastmap
anchor PEBs synchronously during attach.

commit 2e8f08deabbc7eefe4c5838aaa6aa9a23a8acf2e upstream.

When writing a new Fastmap the first thing that happens
is refilling the pools in memory.
At this stage it is possible that new PEBs from the new pools
get already claimed and written with data.
If this happens before the new Fastmap data structure hits the
flash and we face power cut the freshly written PEB will not
scanned and unnoticed.

Solve the issue by locking the pools until Fastmap is written.

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-&gt;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-&gt;thread_enabled to zero we make sure that no further work
tries to wake the thread.

commit 2365418879e9abf12ea9def7f9f3caf0dfa7ffb0 upstream.

When Fastmap is used we can face here an -EBADMSG
since Fastmap cannot know about unmaps.
If the erasure was interrupted the PEB may show ECC
errors and UBI would go to ro-mode as it assumes
that the PEB was check during attach time, which is
not the case with Fastmap.

If __erase_worker() fails to erase the EB and schedule_erase() fails as
well to do anything about it then we go RO. But that is not a reason to
leak the e argument here. Therefore clean up e.

Since fastmap we gained do_sync_erase(). This function can return an error
and its error handling isn't obvious. First the memory allocation for
struct ubi_work can fail and as such struct ubi_wl_entry is leaked.
However if the memory allocation succeeds then the tail function takes
care of the struct ubi_wl_entry. A free here could result in a double
free.
To make the error handling simpler, I split the tail function into one
piece which does the work and another which frees the struct ubi_work
which is passed as argument. As result do_sync_erase() can keep the
struct on stack and we get rid of one error source.
