ubi: Select fastmap anchor PEBs considering wear level rules

2020-06-02T20:53:05+00:00

There is a risk that the fastmap anchor PEB is alternating between
just two PEBs, the current anchor and the previous anchor that was just
deleted. As the fastmap pools gets the first take on free PEBs, the
pools may leave no free PEBs to be selected as the new anchor,
resulting in the two PEBs alternating behaviour. If the anchor PEBs gets
a high erase count the PEBs will not be used by the pools but remain in
ubi->free, even more increasing the likelihood they will be used as
anchors.

Getting stuck using only a couple of PEBs continuously will result in an
uneven wear, eventually leading to failure.

To fix this:

- Choose the fastmap anchor when the most free PEBs are available. This is
  during rebuilding of the fastmap pools, after the unused pool PEBs are
  added to ubi->free but before the pools are populated again from the
  free PEBs. Also reserve an additional second best PEB as a candidate
  for the next time the fast map anchor is updated. If a better PEB is
  found the next time the fast map anchor is updated, the candidate is
  made available for building the pools.

- Enable anchor move within the anchor area again as it is useful for
  distributing wear.

- The anchor candidate for the next fastmap update is the most suited free
  PEB. Check this PEB's erase count during wear leveling. If the wear
  leveling limit is exceeded, the PEB is considered unsuitable for now. As
  all other non used anchor area PEBs should be even worse, free up the
  used anchor area PEB with the lowest erase count.

ubi: Free the normal volumes in error paths of ubi_attach_mtd_dev()

2020-01-16T22:35:59+00:00

The allocated normal volumes saved in ubi->volumes are not freed
in the error paths in ubi_attach_mtd_dev() and its callees (e.g.
ubi_attach() and ubi_read_volume_table()).

These normal volumes should be freed through kill_volumes() and
vol_release(), but ubi_attach_mtd_dev() may fail before
calling uif_init(), and there will be memory leaks.

So adding a new helper ubi_free_all_volumes() to free the normal
and the internal volumes. And in order to prevent double-free
of volume, reset ubi->volumes[i] to NULL after freeing.

ubi: Fix producing anchor PEBs

2019-11-17T21:45:57+00:00

When a new fastmap is about to be written UBI must make sure it has a
free block for a fastmap anchor available. For this ubi_update_fastmap()
calls ubi_ensure_anchor_pebs(). This stopped working with 2e8f08deabbc
("ubi: Fix races around ubi_refill_pools()"), with this commit the wear
leveling code is blocked and can no longer produce free PEBs. UBI then
more often than not falls back to write the new fastmap anchor to the
same block it was already on which means the same erase block gets
erased during each fastmap write and wears out quite fast.

As the locking prevents us from producing the anchor PEB when we
actually need it, this patch changes the strategy for creating the
anchor PEB. We no longer create it on demand right before we want to
write a fastmap, but instead we create an anchor PEB right after we have
written a fastmap. This gives us enough time to produce a new anchor PEB
before it is needed. To make sure we have an anchor PEB for the very
first fastmap write we call ubi_ensure_anchor_pebs() during
initialisation as well.

ubi: Expose the bitrot interface

2019-02-24T10:40:45+00:00

Using UBI_IOCRPEB and UBI_IOCSPEB userspace can force
reading and scrubbing of PEBs.

In case of bitflips UBI will automatically take action
and move data to a different PEB.
This interface allows a daemon to foster your NAND.

ubi: provide a way to skip CRC checks

2018-08-14T22:25:20+00:00

Some users of static UBI volumes implement their own integrity check,
thus making the volume CRC check done at open time useless. For
instance, this is the case when one use the ubiblock + dm-verity +
squashfs combination, where dm-verity already checks integrity of the
block device but this time at the block granularity instead of verifying
the whole volume.

Skipping this test drastically improves the boot-time.

ubi: fastmap: Check each mapping only once

2018-06-07T13:53:16+00:00

Maintain a bitmap to keep track of which LEB->PEB mapping
was checked already.
That way we have to read back VID headers only once.
