ubi: Put MTD device after it is not used

2019-12-05T14:34:22Z

[ Upstream commit b95f83ab762dd6211351b9140f99f43644076ca8 ] The MTD device reference is dropped via put_mtd_device, however its field ->index is read and passed to ubi_msg. To fix this, the patch moves the reference dropping after calling ubi_msg. Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

ubi: fastmap: Cancel work upon detach

2018-07-03T09:23:14Z

commit 6e7d80161066c99d12580d1b985cb1408bb58cf1 upstream. Ben Hutchings pointed out that 29b7a6fa1ec0 ("ubi: fastmap: Don't flush fastmap work on detach") does not really fix the problem, it just reduces the risk to hit the race window where fastmap work races against free()'ing ubi->volumes[]. The correct approach is making sure that no more fastmap work is in progress before we free ubi data structures. So we cancel fastmap work right after the ubi background thread is stopped. By setting ubi->thread_enabled to zero we make sure that no further work tries to wake the thread.

ubi: Reject MLC NAND

2018-04-24T07:34:09Z

commit b5094b7f135be34630e3ea8a98fa215715d0f29d upstream. While UBI and UBIFS seem to work at first sight with MLC NAND, you will most likely lose all your data upon a power-cut or due to read/write disturb. In order to protect users from bad surprises, refuse to attach to MLC NAND.

UBI: hide EBA internals

2016-10-02T20:48:14Z

Create a private ubi_eba_table struct to hide EBA internals and provide helpers to allocate, destroy, copy and assing an EBA table to a volume. Now that external EBA users are using helpers to query/modify the EBA state we can safely change the internal representation, which will be needed to support the LEB consolidation concept.

ubi: Fix early logging

2016-07-29T21:31:55Z

We cannot use ubi_* logging functions before the UBI object is initialized. Cc: Fixes: 3260870331 ("UBI: Extend UBI layer debug/messaging capabilities") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

ubi: Fix race condition between ubi device creation and udev

2016-07-29T21:30:28Z

Install the UBI device object before we arm sysfs. Otherwise udev tries to read sysfs attributes before UBI is ready and udev rules will not match. Cc: Signed-off-by: Iosif Harutyunov [rw: massaged commit message] Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

ubi: Don't bypass ->getattr()

2016-06-14T08:51:42Z

Directly accessing inode fields bypasses ->getattr() and can cause problems when the underlying filesystem does not have the default ->getattr() implementation. So instead of obtaining the backing inode via d_backing_inode() use vfs_getattr() and obtain what we need from the kstat struct. Cc: Al Viro Reported-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Revert "mtd: switch open_mtd_by_chdev() to use of vfs_stat()"

2016-06-14T08:51:42Z

This reverts commit 87f15d4add758fb7fc76655721af94be57a4c17d. vfs_stat() can only be used on user supplied buffers. Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

UBI: Add ro-mode sysfs attribute

2016-05-24T13:15:26Z

On serious situations, UBI may detect serious device corruption, and switch to read-only mode to protect the data and allow debugging. This commit exposes this ro-mode on sysfs, so it can be obtained by userspace tools. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
