ubi: Fix error for write access

2018-10-21T07:45:12Z

commit 78a8dfbabbece22bee58ac4cb26cab10e7a19c5d upstream. When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right value. The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the ubiblock device. Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the ubiblock device as valid.

UBI: block: Add missing cache flushes

2015-09-30T12:20:56Z

commit 98fb1ffd8154890d7051750e61ff5548c3ee2ab2 upstream. Block drivers are responsible for calling flush_dcache_page() on each BIO request. This operation keeps the I$ coherent with the D$ on architectures that don't have hardware coherency support. Without this flush, random crashes are seen when executing user programs from an ext4 filesystem backed by a ubiblock device. This patch is based on the change implemented in commit 2d4dc890b5c8 ("block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages").

Merge tag 'upstream-3.16-rc1-v2' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs

2014-06-10T15:55:46Z

Pull UBIFS updates from Artem Bityutskiy: "This contains several UBIFS fixes. One of them fixes a race condition between the mmap page fault path and fsync. Another just removes a bogus assertion from the UBIFS memory shrinker. UBIFS also started honoring the MS_SILENT mount flag, so now it won't print many I/O errors when user-space just tries to probe for the FS. Rest of the changes are rather minor UBI/UBIFS fixes, improvements, and clean-ups" * tag 'upstream-3.16-rc1-v2' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs: UBIFS: Add an assertion for clean_zn_cnt UBIFS: respect MS_SILENT mount flag UBIFS: Remove incorrect assertion in shrink_tnc() UBIFS: fix debugging check UBIFS: add missing ui pointer in debugging code UBI: block: Fix error path on alloc_workqueue failure UBIFS: Fix dump messages in ubifs_dump_lprops UBI: fix rb_tree node comparison in add_map UBIFS: Remove unused variables in ubifs_budget_space UBI: weaken the 'exclusive' constraint when opening volumes to rename UBIFS: fix an mmap and fsync race condition

Merge branch 'for-3.16/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block into next

2014-06-02T16:29:34Z

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe: "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone into blk-mq in the last 3 months. Generally we're heading to where 3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq. scsi-mq is progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17. A nvme port is in progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16. This pull request contains: - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated. All from Christoph. - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph. - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for blk-mq from Ming Lei. - A flew of blk-mq updates from me: * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU to queue mapping. This enables optimizations in the driver. * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never really worked well for blk-mq. percpu_ida relies on the fact that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to exhausting) the tag space. * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq * Various fixes for IO timeouts. * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations. - Remove 'buffer' from struct request. This is ancient code, from when requests were always virtually mapped. Kill it, to reclaim some space in struct request. From me. - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug. Since we store these on the stack and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just get rid of it. From me. - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two atomic reads. Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing IO on blk-mq. From me. - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/. This includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c. From me, from a discussion on lkml. That should describe the meat of the pull request. Also has various little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong, Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam Bradshaw" * 'for-3.16/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (100 commits) blk-mq: push IPI or local end_io decision to __blk_mq_complete_request() blk-mq: remember to start timeout handler for direct queue block: ensure that the timer is always added blk-mq: blk_mq_unregister_hctx() can be static blk-mq: make the sysfs mq/ layout reflect current mappings blk-mq: blk_mq_tag_to_rq should handle flush request block: remove dead code in scsi_ioctl:blk_verify_command blk-mq: request initialization optimizations block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging block: remove 'magic' from struct blk_plug blk-mq: remove alloc_hctx and free_hctx methods blk-mq: add file comments and update copyright notices blk-mq: remove blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned blk-mq: do not use blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned in blk_mq_map_request blk-mq: remove blk_mq_wait_for_tags blk-mq: initialize request in __blk_mq_alloc_request blk-mq: merge blk_mq_alloc_reserved_request into blk_mq_alloc_request blk-mq: add helper to insert requests from irq context blk-mq: remove stale comment for blk_mq_complete_request() blk-mq: allow non-softirq completions ...

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02Z

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago, most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't pointing at anything valid. Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data(). For the discard payload use case, just reference the page in the bio. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

UBI: rename block device ioctls

2014-03-05T13:49:15Z

Rename the UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK, because we do not use terms "attach" and "detach" for the R/O block devices on top of UBI volumes. Instead, we use terms "create" and "remove". This patch also amends the related commentaries. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Acked-by: Ezequiel Garcia
