ubi: Fix race condition between ubi volume creation and udev

2018-03-18T10:15:43+00:00

commit a51a0c8d213594bc094cb8e54aad0cb6d7f7b9a6 upstream. Similar to commit 714fb87e8bc0 ("ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev"), we should make the volume active before registering it.

mtd: nand: gpmi: Fix failure when a erased page has a bitflip at BBM

2018-03-03T09:17:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit fdf2e821052958a114618a95ab18a300d0b080cb ] When erased subpages are read then the BCH decoder returns STATUS_ERASED if they are all empty, or STATUS_UNCORRECTABLE if there are bitflips. When there are bitflips, we have to set these bits again to show the upper layers a completely erased page. When a bitflip happens in the exact byte where the bad block marker is, then this byte is swapped with another byte in block_mark_swapping(). The correction code then detects a bitflip in another subpage and no longer corrects the bitflip where it really happens. Correct this behaviour by calling block_mark_swapping() after the bitflips have been corrected. In our case UBIFS failed with this bug because it expects erased pages to be really empty: UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scan: corrupt empty space at LEB 36:118735 UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scanned_corruption: corruption at LEB 36:118735 UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scanned_corruption: first 8192 bytes from LEB 36:118735 UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scan: LEB 36 scanning failed UBIFS error (pid 187): do_commit: commit failed, error -117 Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Reviewed-by: Richard Weinberger Acked-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mtd: nand: Fix nand_do_read_oob() return value

2018-02-16T19:14:44+00:00

commit 87e89ce8d0d14f573c068c61bec2117751fb5103 upstream. Starting from commit 041e4575f034 ("mtd: nand: handle ECC errors in OOB"), nand_do_read_oob() (from the NAND core) did return 0 or a negative error, and the MTD layer expected it. However, the trend for the NAND layer is now to return an error or a positive number of bitflips. Deciding which status to return to the user belongs to the MTD layer. Commit e47f68587b82 ("mtd: check for max_bitflips in mtd_read_oob()") brought this logic to the mtd_read_oob() function while the return value coming from nand_do_read_oob() (called by the ->_read_oob() hook) was left unchanged.

mtd: nand: Fix writing mtdoops to nand flash.

2017-11-30T08:35:53+00:00

commit 30863e38ebeb500a31cecee8096fb5002677dd9b upstream. When mtdoops calls mtd_panic_write(), it eventually calls panic_nand_write() in nand_base.c. In order to properly wait for the nand chip to be ready in panic_nand_wait(), the chip must first be selected. When using the atmel nand flash controller, a panic would occur due to a NULL pointer exception.

mtd: bcm47xxpart: limit scanned flash area on BCM47XX (MIPS) only

2017-07-05T12:35:14+00:00

commit 2a36a5c30eab9cd1c9d2d08bd27cd763325d70c5 upstream. We allowed using bcm47xxpart on BCM5301X arch with commit: 9e3afa5f5c7 ("mtd: bcm47xxpart: allow enabling on ARCH_BCM_5301X") BCM5301X devices may contain some partitions in higher memory, e.g. Netgear R8000 has board_data at 0x2600000. To detect them we should use size limit on MIPS only. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Amit Pundir Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mtd: spi-nor: fix spansion quad enable

2017-06-29T07:12:24+00:00

commit 807c16253319ee6ccf8873ae64f070f7eb532cd5 upstream. With the S25FL127S nor flash part, each writing to the configuration register takes hundreds of ms. During that time, no more accesses to the flash should be done (even reads). This commit adds a wait loop after the register writing until the flash finishes its work. This issue could make rootfs mounting fail when the latter was done too much closely to this quad enable bit setting step. And in this case, a driver as UBIFS may try to recover the filesystem and may broke it completely.

mtd: avoid stack overflow in MTD CFI code

2017-05-08T05:44:09+00:00

commit fddcca5107051adf9e4481d2a79ae0616577fd2c upstream. When map_word gets too large, we use a lot of kernel stack, and for MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32, this means we use more than the recommended 1024 bytes in a number of functions: drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1336 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_erase_varsize': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:972:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c: In function 'do_write_buffer': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c:1835:1: warning: the frame size of 1240 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This can be avoided if all operations on the map word are done indirectly and the stack gets reused between the calls. We can mostly achieve this by selecting MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS whenever MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32 is set, but for the case that no other bank width is enabled, we also need to use a non-constant map_bankwidth() to convince the compiler to use less stack. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann [Brian: this patch mostly achieves its goal by forcing MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS (and the accompanying indirection) for 256-bit mappings; the rest of the change is mostly a wash, though it helps reduce stack size slightly. If we really care about supporting 256-bit mappings though, we should consider rewriting some of this code to avoid keeping and assigning so many 256-bit objects on the stack.] Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ubi/upd: Always flush after prepared for an update

2017-04-30T03:49:13+00:00

commit 9cd9a21ce070be8a918ffd3381468315a7a76ba6 upstream. In commit 6afaf8a484cb ("UBI: flush wl before clearing update marker") I managed to trigger and fix a similar bug. Now here is another version of which I assumed it wouldn't matter back then but it turns out UBI has a check for it and will error out like this: |ubi0 warning: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent used_ebs |ubi0 error: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent VID header at PEB 592 All you need to trigger this is? "ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 file" + a powercut in the middle of the operation. ubi_start_update() sets the update-marker and puts all EBs on the erase list. After that userland can proceed to write new data while the old EB aren't erased completely. A powercut at this point is usually not that much of a tragedy. UBI won't give read access to the static volume because it has the update marker. It will most likely set the corrupted flag because it misses some EBs. So we are all good. Unless the size of the image that has been written differs from the old image in the magnitude of at least one EB. In that case UBI will find two different values for `used_ebs' and refuse to attach the image with the error message mentioned above. So in order not to get in the situation, the patch will ensure that we wait until everything is removed before it tries to write any data. The alternative would be to detect such a case and remove all EBs at the attached time after we processed the volume-table and see the update-marker set. The patch looks bigger and I doubt it is worth it since usually the write() will wait from time to time for a new EB since usually there not that many spare EB that can be used.

mtd: bcm47xxpart: fix parsing first block after aligned TRX

2017-04-22T05:15:06+00:00

commit bd5d21310133921021d78995ad6346f908483124 upstream. After parsing TRX we should skip to the first block placed behind it. Our code was working only with TRX with length not aligned to the blocksize. In other cases (length aligned) it was missing the block places right after TRX. This fixes calculation and simplifies the comment. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
