blk_cleanup_disk is nothing but a trivial wrapper for put_disk now,
so remove it.

There is an use-after-free problem for 'eba_tbl' in ubi_create_volume()'s
error handling path:

  ubi_eba_replace_table(vol, eba_tbl)
    vol-&gt;eba_tbl = tbl
out_mapping:
  ubi_eba_destroy_table(eba_tbl)   // Free 'eba_tbl'
out_unlock:
  put_device(&amp;vol-&gt;dev)
    vol_release
      kfree(tbl-&gt;entries)	  // UAF

Fix it by removing redundant 'eba_tbl' releasing.

UBI fetches free peb from wl_pool during wear leveling, so UBI should
check wl_pool's empty status before wear leveling. Otherwise, UBI will
miss wear leveling chances when free pebs are run out.

<title>ubi: fastmap: Fix high cpu usage of ubi_bgt by making sure wl_pool not empty</title>

There at least 6 PEBs reserved on UBI device:
1. EBA_RESERVED_PEBS[1]
2. WL_RESERVED_PEBS[1]
3. UBI_LAYOUT_VOLUME_EBS[2]
4. MIN_FASTMAP_RESERVED_PEBS[2]

When all ubi volumes take all their PEBs, there are 3 (EBA_RESERVED_PEBS +
WL_RESERVED_PEBS + MIN_FASTMAP_RESERVED_PEBS - MIN_FASTMAP_TAKEN_PEBS[1])
free PEBs. Since commit f9c34bb529975fe ("ubi: Fix producing anchor PEBs")
and commit 4b68bf9a69d22dd ("ubi: Select fastmap anchor PEBs considering
wear level rules") applied, there is only 1 (3 - FASTMAP_ANCHOR_PEBS[1] -
FASTMAP_NEXT_ANCHOR_PEBS[1]) free PEB to fill pool and wl_pool, after
filling pool, wl_pool is always empty. So, UBI could be stuck in an
infinite loop:

	ubi_thread	   system_wq
wear_leveling_worker &lt;--------------------------------------------------
  get_peb_for_wl							|
    // fm_wl_pool, used = size = 0					|
    schedule_work(&amp;ubi-&gt;fm_work)					|

		    update_fastmap_work_fn				|
		      ubi_update_fastmap				|
			ubi_refill_pools				|
			// ubi-&gt;free_count - ubi-&gt;beb_rsvd_pebs &lt; 5	|
			// wl_pool is not filled with any PEBs		|
			schedule_erase(old_fm_anchor)			|
			ubi_ensure_anchor_pebs				|
			  __schedule_ubi_work(wear_leveling_worker)	|
									|
__erase_worker								|

    __schedule_ubi_work(wear_leveling_worker) --------------------------

, which cause high cpu usage of ubi_bgt:

  202 root 20   0   0      0      0 I  11.3  0.0   0:04.93 kworker/2:3-eve

In commit 4b68bf9a69d22dd ("ubi: Select fastmap anchor PEBs considering
wear level rules"), there are three key changes:
  1) Choose the fastmap anchor when the most free PEBs are available.
  2) Enable anchor move within the anchor area again as it is useful
     for distributing wear.
  3) Import a candidate fm anchor and check this PEB's erase count during
     wear leveling. If the wear leveling limit is exceeded, use the used
     anchor area PEB with the lowest erase count to replace it.

The anchor candidate can be removed, we can check fm_anchor PEB's erase
count during wear leveling. Fix it by:
  1) Removing 'fm_next_anchor' and check 'fm_anchor' during wear leveling.
  2) Preferentially filling one free peb into fm_wl_pool in condition of
     ubi-&gt;free_count &gt; ubi-&gt;beb_rsvd_pebs, then try to reserve enough
     free count for fastmap non anchor pebs after the above prerequisites
     are met.
Then, there are at least 1 PEB in pool and 1 PEB in wl_pool after calling
ubi_refill_pools() with all erase works done.

Abort fastmap scanning and return error code if memory allocation fails

 ==================================================================

The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held
by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi-&gt;device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be
concurrent.

ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach.
ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent
concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with
ubi_cdev_ioctl.

uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3

    ubi_free_volume
    // double free

The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device
"available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we
roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between
ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in
vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing
uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num].

ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during
sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not
be deleted before all reference counting are released.
The key process is shown in the following stack.

device_del
  device_remove_attrs
    device_remove_groups
      sysfs_remove_groups
        sysfs_remove_group
          remove_files

All modern drivers can support extra partitions using the extended
dev_t.  In fact except for the ioctl method drivers never even see
partitions in normal operation.

So remove the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT and allow extra partitions for all
block devices that do support partitions, and require those that
do not support partitions to explicit disallow them using
GENHD_FL_NO_PART.
