UBIFS: remove unnecessary code in ubifs_garbage_collect

2013-10-22T12:34:27+00:00

In ubifs_garbage_collect,local variable "space_before" calculate twice. In
fact, at the beginning of the loop, there is no need to calculate this
variable. Calculate it before call "ubifs_garbage_collect_leb" is enough. This
patch just remove the unnecessary calculate code.

UBI: Kill data type hint

2012-05-20T17:25:59+00:00

We do not need this feature and to our shame it even was not working
and there was a bug found very recently.
	-- Artem Bityutskiy

Without the data type hint UBI2 (fastmap) will be easier to implement.

UBIFS: synchronize write-buffer before switching to the next bud

2011-05-16T07:31:41+00:00

Currently when UBIFS fills up the current bud (which is the last in the journal
head) and switches to the next bud, it first writes the log reference node for
the next bud and only after this synchronizes the write-buffer of the previous
bud. This is not a big deal, but an unclean power cut may lead to a situation
when we have corruption in a next-to-last bud, although it is much more logical
that we have to have corruption only in the last bud.

This patch also removes write-buffer synchronization from
'ubifs_wbuf_seek_nolock()' because this is not needed anymore (we synchronize
the write-buffer explicitly everywhere now) and also because this is just
prone to various errors.

UBIFS: make 2 functions static

2011-05-16T07:31:39+00:00

This is a minor change which makes 2 functions static because they
are not used outside the gc.c file: 'data_nodes_cmp()' and
'nondata_nodes_cmp()'.

UBIFS: remove duplicated code

2011-05-13T16:23:55+00:00

We have duplicated code in 'ubifs_garbage_collect()' and
'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()', which is about handling the special case of free
LEB. In both cases we just want to garbage-collect the LEB using
'ubifs_garbage_collect_leb()'.

This patch teaches 'ubifs_garbage_collect_leb()' to handle free LEB's so that
the caller does not have to do this and the duplicated code is removed.

UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts

2010-09-19T18:07:58+00:00

Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.

However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.

All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors

2010-09-17T14:08:09+00:00

The R/O state may have various reasons:

1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error

However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.

But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.

This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.

In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

UBIFS: introduce list sorting debugging checks

2010-08-30T07:19:09+00:00

The UBIFS bug in the GC list sorting comparison functions inspired
me to write internal debugging check functions which verify that
the list of nodes is sorted properly.

So, this patch implements 2 new debugging functions:
 o 'dbg_check_data_nodes_order()' - check order of data nodes list
 o 'dbg_check_nondata_nodes_order()' - check order of non-data nodes list

The debugging functions are executed only if general UBIFS debugging checks are
enabled. And they are compiled out if UBIFS debugging is disabled.

UBIFS: fix assertion warnings in comparison function

2010-08-30T07:19:08+00:00

When running the integrity test ('integck' from mtd-utils) on current
UBIFS on 2.6.35, I see that assertions in UBIFS 'list_sort()' comparison
functions trigger sometimes, e.g.:

UBIFS assert failed in data_nodes_cmp at 132 (pid 28311)

My investigation showed that this happens when 'list_sort()' calls the 'cmp()'
function with equivalent arguments. In this case, the 'struct list_head'
parameter, passed to 'cmp()' is bogus, and it does not belong to any element in
the original list.

And this issue seems to be introduced by commit:

commit 835cc0c8477fdbc59e0217891d6f11061b1ac4e2
Author: Don Mullis 
Date:   Fri Mar 5 13:43:15 2010 -0800

It is easy to work around the issue by doing:

if (a == b)
	return 0;

in UBIFS. It works, but 'lib_sort()' should nevertheless be fixed. Although it
is harmless to have this piece of code in UBIFS.

This patch adds that code to both UBIFS 'cmp()' functions:
'data_nodes_cmp()' and 'nondata_nodes_cmp()'.
