This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB. This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error. This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and again. But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this. If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode. Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing. The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.

This patch fixes the error path in the WL worker - in same cases UBI oopses when 'goto out_error' happens and e1 or e2 are NULL. This patch also cleans up the error paths a little. And I have tested nearly all error paths in the WL worker. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all, it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short period of time, just because the thread will be woken up when real I/O on the UBI starts. Anywey, the issue is the race condition between 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked 'ubi->thread_enabled'.

The @vol->upd_marker should be protected by the @ubi->device_mutex, otherwise 'paranoid_check_volume()' complains sometimes because vol->upd_marker is 1 while vtbl_rec->upd_marker is 0. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

If a volume paranoid check fails, do not return an error code to the caller, but just print error messages and go forward. The primary reason for this is that it is difficult to recover and cancel the operation at that stage. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

When paranoid checs are enabled, the 'io_paral' test from the 'mtd-utils' package fails. The symptoms are: UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: flash region at PEB 3973:512, length 15872 does not contain all 0xFF bytes UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: paranoid check failed for PEB 3973 UBI: hex dump of the 512-16384 region It turned out to be a bug in the checking function. Suppose there are 2 tasks - A and B. Task A is the wear-levelling working ('wear_leveling_worker()'). It is reading the VID header to find which LEB this PEB belongs to. Say, task A is reading header of PEB X. Suppose PEB X is unmapped, and has no VID header. Task B is trying to write to PEB X. Task A: in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()': reads the VID header from PEB X. The read data contain all 0xFF bytes. Task B: writes VID header and some data to PEB X Task A: assumes PEB X is empty, calls 'paranoid_check_all_ff()', which fails. The solution for this problem is to make 'paranoid_check_all_ff()' re-read the VID header, re-check it, and only if it is not there, check the rest. This now implemented by the 'paranoid_check_empty()' function. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

The @mult_mutex does not serve any purpose. We already have @volumes_mutex and it is enough. The @volume mutex is pushed down to the 'ubi_rename_volumes()', because we want first to open all volumes in the exclusive mode, and then lock the mutex, just like all other ioctl's (remove, re-size, etc) do.

This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words. The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page. This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit without any version checking whatsoever. With no complaints so far. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386. This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from 2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86. The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from working correctly in gdb.

Commit 79e53945 introduced a regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

This reverts commit fafd688e. Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API forever.

This is a buildfix for the DaVinci PCM code, resyncing it with the version in the DaVinci tree. The notable change is using current EDMA interfaces, which recently merged to mainline. (The older interfaces never made it into mainline.) NOTE: open issue, the DMA should be to/from SRAM; see chip errata for more info. The artifacts are extremely easy to hear on DM355 hardware (not yet supported in mainline), but don't seem as audible on DM6446 hardwaare (which does have mainline support).
