commit 74d83beaa229aac7d126ac1ed9414658ff1a89d2 upstream.

JFFS2 was designed without thought for OOB bitflips, it seems, but they
can occur and will be reported to JFFS2 via mtd_read_oob()[1]. We don't
want to fail on these transactions, since the data was corrected.

[1] Few drivers report bitflips for OOB-only transactions. With such
    drivers, this patch should have no effect.

<title>JFFS2: fix unmount regression</title>

commit a445f784ae5558a3da680aa6b39ed53c95a551c1 upstream.

This patch fixes regression introduced by
"8bdc81c jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_super". We submit a delayed work in order
to make sure the write-buffer is synchronized at some point. But we do not
flush it when we unmount, which causes an oops when we unmount the file-system
and then the delayed work is executed.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" infocation
in the '-&gt;sync_fs()' handler. This will make sure the delayed work is canceled
on sync, unmount and re-mount. And because VFS always callse 'sync_fs()' before
unmounting or remounting, this fixes the issue.

boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead;
Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed
not to be there yet.

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument.  And getting rid of that
completely would require splitting -&gt;lookup() into a couple
of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...

Pull mtd update from David Woodhouse:
 - More robust parsing especially of xattr data in JFFS2
 - Updates to mxc_nand and gpmi drivers to support new boards and device tree
 - Improve consistency of information about ECC strength in NAND devices
 - Clean up partition handling of plat_nand
 - Support NAND drivers without dedicated access to OOB area
 - BCH hardware ECC support for OMAP
 - Other fixes and cleanups, and a few new device IDs

Fixed trivial conflict in drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c due to
added include files next to each other.

Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the
write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer
periodically.

The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblock using the '-&gt;write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to
make file-systems to stop using the '-&gt;write_super' VFS service, and then
remove it together with the kernel thread.

This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from
'-&gt;write_super()'/'-&gt;s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt'
flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

We do not need to call 'jffs2_write_super()' on sync. This function
causes a GC pass to make sure the current contents is pushed out with
the data which we already have on the media.

But this is not needed on unmount and only slows sync down unnecessarily.
It is enough to just sync the write-buffer.

This call was added by one of the generic VFS rework patch-sets,
see d579ed00aa96a7f7486978540a0d7cecaff742ae.
