2012-12-10UBI: embed ubi_debug_info field in ubi_device structEzequiel Garcia1-30/+4
ubi_debug_info struct was dynamically allocated which is always suboptimal, for it tends to fragment memory and make the code error-prone. Fix this by embedding it in ubi_device struct.

2012-06-27UBI: correct usage of IS_ENABLED()Brian Norris1-4/+4
Commit "e9b4cf2 UBI: fix debugfs-less systems support" fixed one regression but introduced a different regression - the debugfs is now always compiled out. Root cause: IS_ENABLED() arguments should be used with the CONFIG_* prefix.

2012-06-07UBI: fix debugfs-less systems supportArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+10
Commit "aa44d1d UBI: remove Kconfig debugging option" broke UBI and it refuses to initialize if debugfs (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) is disabled. I incorrectly assumed that debugfs files creation function will return success if debugfs is disabled, but they actually return -ENODEV. This patch fixes the issue.

2012-05-20UBI: rename sv to avArtem Bityutskiy1-11/+11
After re-naming the 'struct ubi_scan_volume' we should adjust all variables named 'sv' to something else, because 'sv' stands for "scanning volume". Let's rename it to 'av' which stands for "attaching volume" which is a bit more consistent and has the same length, which makes re-naming easy.

2012-05-20UBI: rename struct ubi_scan_volumeArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+2
Rename 'struct ubi_scan_volume' to 'struct ubi_ainf_volume'. This is part of the code re-structuring I am trying to do in order to add fastmap in a more logical way. Fastmap can share a lot with scanning, including the attach-time data structures, which all now have "scan" word in the name. Let's get rid of this word and use "ainf" instead which stands for "attach information". It has the same length as "scan" so re-naming is trivial.

2012-05-20UBI: remove Kconfig debugging optionArtem Bityutskiy1-4/+0
This patch kills the UBI debugging Kconfig option completely and makes all the debugging stuff to be always compiled-in. It was pain in the neck to maintain this useless option because all users I am aware of have debugging enabled anyway - how else will you diagnose errors otherwise?

2012-05-20UBI: always dump VID and EC headers in case of errorsArtem Bityutskiy1-6/+6
UBI (and UBIFS) are a bit over-engineered WRT debugging. The idea was to link as few as possible when debugging is disabled, but the downside is that most people produce bug reports which are difficult to understand.

2012-04-06simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()Stephen Boyd1-9/+1
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: <smpl> @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-06-01UBI: switch debugging tests knobs to debugfsArtem Bityutskiy1-7/+33
Kill the UBI 'debug_tsts' module parameter and switch to debugfs. Create per-test mode files there. E.g., to enable bit-flips emulation you may just do: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ubi/ubi0/tst_emulate_bitflips Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-06-01UBI: use debugfs for the extra checks knobsArtem Bityutskiy1-4/+227
This patch introduces debugfs support to UBI. All the UBI stuff is kept in the "ubi" debugfs directory, which contains per-UBI device "ubi/ubiX" sub-directories, containing debugging files. This file also creates "ubi/ubiX/chk_gen" and "ubi/ubiX/chk_io" knobs for switching general and I/O extra checks on and off. And it removes the 'debug_chks' UBI module parameters.

2011-03-16UBI: make tests modes dynamicArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+3
Similarly to the debugging checks and message, make the test modes be dynamically selected via the "debug_tsts" module parameter or via the "/sys/module/ubi/parameters/debug_tsts" sysfs file. This is consistent with UBIFS as well. And now, since all the Kconfig knobs became dynamic, we can remove the Kconfig.debug file completely.

2011-03-16UBI: make self-checks dynamicArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+3
This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code. This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

2008-07-24UBI: remove pre-sqnum images supportArtem Bityutskiy1-2/+0
Before UBI got into mainline, there was a slight flash format change - we did not have sequence number support, then added it. We have carried full support of those ancient images till this moment. Now the support is removed, well, not fully removed. Now UBI will support only _clean_ old images, which were cleanly detached last time (just before kernel upgrade). This is most likely the case. But we will not support unclean ancient images. Surprisingly, this allows us to remove a big chunk of legacy code. And the same should be true for downgrading: clean images should downgrade fine, but unclean ones will not. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2007-04-27UBI: Unsorted Block ImagesArtem B. Bityutskiy1-0/+224
UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling across the whole flash device. In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks. More information may be found at http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html Partitioning/Re-partitioning An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit. UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums. Bad eraseblocks handling UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this. Scrubbing On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation, sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate, correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users. Erase Counts UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm itself is exchangeable. Booting from NAND For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This "initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to load and execute the next boot phase. Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume. UBI volumes vs. static partitions UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions: * both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions; * both support three basic operations - read, write, erase. But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional static MTD partitions: * there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI volumes, so the user should not care about this; * there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes. So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed restrictions. Where can it be found? Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD gits. What are the applications for? The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content analysis after a system has crashed.. Who did UBI? The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem. Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements. Signed-off-by: Artem B. Bityutskiy <dedekind@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Frank Haverkamp <haver@vnet.ibm.com>
