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.

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

<title>UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept</title>

<id>3291b52f9ff0acc80a8ee3f92a960db937dccecb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the
ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions
make sure to align allocation on ubi-&gt;vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the
vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi-&gt;vid_hdr_shift requirements.
This works fine, but is a bit convoluted.
Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support
MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID
header.

Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information
to the VID header.

We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but
will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.

This not only hides the aeb allocation internals (which is always good in
case we ever want to change the allocation system), but also helps us
factorize the initialization of some common fields (ec and pnum).

This is more a cosmetic change than a fix.
By using ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change()
we can guarantee that the first VTBL record is always
correct and we don't really need the second one anymore.
But we have to keep the second one to not break anything.

If there is more then one UBI device mounted, there is no way to
distinguish between messages from different UBI devices.
Add device number to all ubi layer message types.

The R/O block driver messages were replaced by pr_* since
ubi_device structure is not used by it.
