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.

Commit "62f38455 UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum"
takes the 'work_sem' semaphore in write mode for the entire loop, which is not
very good because it will block other workers for potentially long time. We do
not need to have it in write mode - read mode is enough, and we do not need to
hole it over the entire loop. So this patch turns changes the locking: takes
'work_sem' in read mode and pushes it down to the loop.

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.

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.

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.

<title>UBI: add lnum and vol_id to struct ubi_work</title>

<content type='text'>
This is part of a multipart patch to allow UBI to force the erasure of
particular logical eraseblock numbers. In this patch, the volume id and LEB
number are added to ubi_work data structure, and both are also passed as a
parameter to schedule erase to set it appropriately. Whenever ubi_wl_put_peb
is called, the lnum is also passed to be forwarded to schedule erase. Later,
a new ubi_sync_lnum will be added to execute immediately all work related to
that lnum.

This was tested by outputting the vol_id and lnum during the schedule of
erasure. The ubi thread was disabled and two ubifs drives on separate
partitions repeated changed a small number of LEBs. The ubi module was readded,
and all the erased LEBs, corresponding to the volumes, were added to the
schedule erase queue.

Artem: minor tweaks

<title>UBI: add volume id struct ubi_ainf_peb</title>

This patch adds the volume id to struct ubi_ainf_peb when scanning the LEBs at
startup. PEBs now added to the erase queue will know their original LEB number
and volume id, if available, and will be -1 otherwise (for instance, if the VID
header is unreadable).

This was tested by creating an ubi device with 3 volumes and disabiling the
ubi_thread's do_work functionality. The different ubi volumes were formatted
to ubifs and had files created and erased.  The ubi modules was reloaded and
the list of LEB's added to the erased list was outputted, confirming the
volume ids and LEB numbers were appropriate.

Explicitly provide the first internal volume ID value in the comment for
UBI_INTERNAL_VOL_START. This allows developers who, when adding features
related to volume ids and observe unexpected very large volume ids, to grep
for the observed value in the source code and find out immediately that it is
expected behaviour.
