UBI: Extend UBI layer debug/messaging capabilities

2014-11-07T10:08:51Z

If there is more then one UBI device mounted, there is no way to distinguish between messages from different UBI devices. Add device number to all ubi layer message types. The R/O block driver messages were replaced by pr_* since ubi_device structure is not used by it. Amended a bit by Artem. Signed-off-by: Tanya Brokhman Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: introduce helpers dbg_chk_{io, gen}

2012-12-10T11:38:59Z

With this patch code is a bit more readable and there's no generated code or functionality impact. Furthermore, this abstracts implementation details and will allow to change ubi_debug_info in a less invasive way. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: replace memcpy with struct assignment

2012-12-03T11:54:14Z

This kind of memcpy() is error-prone. Its replacement with a struct assignment is prefered because it's type-safe and much easier to read. Found by coccinelle. Hand patched and reviewed. Tested by compilation only. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier struct_name; struct struct_name to; struct struct_name from; expression E; @@ -memcpy(&(to), &(from), E); +to = from; // Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: harmonize the update of ubi->beb_rsvd_pebs

2012-07-18T11:30:34Z

Currently, there are several locations where an attempt to reserve more PEBs for bad PEB handling is made, with the same code being duplicated. Harmonize it by introducing 'ubi_update_reserved()'. Also, improve the debug message issued, making it more descriptive. Artem: amended the patch a little. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ladkani Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum

2012-05-21T08:34:41Z

This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id. External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush(). This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum, correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally. Artem: amended the patch. Signed-off-by: Joel Reardon Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: get rid of dbg_err

2012-05-20T17:26:00Z

This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubi_err' instead. The idea of 'dbg_err()' was to compile out some error message to make the binary a bit smaller - but I think it was a bad idea. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: more of clean-up terminology for self-checks

2012-05-20T17:26:00Z

We have the "sefl-check" feature in UBI, but for historical reasons many corresponding functions and commentaries in the code use term "paranoid check" instead. Let's clean this up and use "self-check" everywhere. This patch renames functions, amends messages and kills several redundant debugging messages. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: remove Kconfig debugging option

2012-05-20T17:26:00Z

This patch kills the UBI debugging Kconfig option completely and makes all the debugging stuff to be always compiled-in. It was pain in the neck to maintain this useless option because all users I am aware of have debugging enabled anyway - how else will you diagnose errors otherwise? Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: rename ubi_dbg_dump_vtbl_record

2012-05-20T17:25:59Z

I am going to remove the "UBI debugging" compilation option and make the debugging stuff to be always compiled it. This patch is a preparation which renames 'ubi_dbg_dump_vtbl_record()' to 'ubi_dump_vtbl_record()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: rename ubi_dbg_dump_vol_info
