UBI: introduce helpers dbg_chk_{io, gen}

2012-12-10T11:38:59+00:00

With this patch code is a bit more readable and there's no
generated code or functionality impact.
Furthermore, this abstracts implementation details and
will allow to change ubi_debug_info in a less invasive way.

UBI: print less

2012-09-04T06:39:02+00:00

UBI currently prints a lot of information when it mounts a volume, which
bothers some people. Make it less chatty - print only important information
by default.

Get rid of 'dbg_msg()' macro completely.

UBI: amend comments after all the renamings

2012-05-20T17:26:04+00:00

This patch amends commentaries in scan.[ch] to match the new logic. Reminder -
we did the restructuring to prepare the code for adding the fastmap. This patch
also renames a couple of functions - it was too difficult to separate out that
change and I decided that it is not too bad to have it in the same patch with
commentaries changes.

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.

UBI: clean-up terminology for self-checks in io.c

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

We have the "sefl-check" feature in UBI, but for historical reasons many
corresponding functions and commentaries in the code use term "paranoid check"
instead. Let's clean this up and use "self-check" everywhere.

This patch renames functions, amends comments and messages. It touches only the
io.c file.

UBI: remove Kconfig debugging option

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

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?

UBI: always warn if case of I/O errors

2012-05-20T17:25:58+00:00

Currently UBI silently retries I/O operation in case of errors. This patch
makes it emit a warning before retrying. This should allow users notice issues
earlier.

UBI: always dump VID and EC headers in case of errors

2012-05-20T17:25:58+00:00

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.

Always dump the VID and EC headers' contents in case of errors when it
is helpful.
