mtd: ubi: block: wire-up device parent

2023-02-13T21:24:10+00:00

ubiblock devices were previously only identifyable by their name, but not connected to their parent UBI volume device e.g. in sysfs. Properly parent ubiblock device as descendant of a UBI volume device to reflect device model hierachy. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

UBI: Add initial support for scatter gather

2015-01-28T15:04:26+00:00

Adds a new set of functions to deal with scatter gather. ubi_eba_read_leb_sg() will read from a LEB into a scatter gather list. The new data structure struct ubi_sgl will be used within UBI to hold the scatter gather list itself and metadata to have a cursor within the list.

UBI: Implement UBI_METAONLY

2015-01-28T14:57:04+00:00

UBI_METAONLY is a new open mode for UBI volumes, it indicates that only meta data is being changed. Meta data in terms of UBI volumes means data which is stored in the UBI volume table but not on the volume itself. While it does not interfere with UBI_READONLY and UBI_READWRITE it is not allowed to use UBI_METAONLY together with UBI_EXCLUSIVE.

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: introduce UBI_ALL constant

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

Joel will use it in his 'ubi_flush()' extention to specify all eraseblocks. Also amend the comment for UBI_UNKNOWN - it is used beyond attaching info structure now. 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

UBI: clarify the volume notification types' doc

2011-06-23T14:40:07+00:00

I realized the new descriptions of ADDED and REMOVED could also be misleading: they can also be triggered after using a userland util (ubi{mk,rm}vol). Artem: amend the commentaries Signed-off-by David Wagner Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

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
