UBIFS: add debugfs knob to switch to R/O mode

2012-07-20T07:27:25Z

This patch adds another debugfs knob which switches UBIFS to R/O mode. I needed it while trying to reproduce the 'first log node is not CS node' bug. Without this debugfs knob you have to perform a power cut to repruduce the bug. The knob is named 'ro_error' and all it does is it sets the 'ro_error' UBIFS flag which makes UBIFS disallow any further writes - even write-back will fail with -EROFS. Useful for debugging.

UBIFS: correct usage of IS_ENABLED()

2012-06-27T11:22:15Z

Commit "818039c UBIFS: fix debugfs-less systems support" fixed one regression but introduced a different regression - the debugfs is now always compiled out. Root cause: IS_ENABLED() arguments should be used with the CONFIG_* prefix. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: fix debugfs-less systems support

2012-06-07T07:43:54Z

Commit "f70b7e5 UBIFS: remove Kconfig debugging option" broke UBIFS and it refuses to initialize if debugfs (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) is disabled. I incorrectly assumed that debugfs files creation function will return success if debugfs is disabled, but they actually return -ENODEV. This patch fixes the issue.

UBI: Kill data type hint

2012-05-20T17:25:59Z

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. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: get rid of dbg_err

2012-05-16T17:11:23Z

This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubifs_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

UBIFS: remove Kconfig debugging option

Have the debugging stuff always compiled-in instead. It simplifies maintanance a lot. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: rename dumping functions

2012-05-16T16:15:56Z

This commit re-names all functions which dump something from "dbg_dump_*()" to "ubifs_dump_*()". This is done for consistency with UBI and because this way it will be more logical once we remove the debugging sompilation option. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: get rid of dbg_dump_stack

2012-05-16T16:04:54Z

In case of errors we almost always need the stack dump - it makes no sense to compile it out. Remove the 'dbg_dump_stack()' function completely. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: make the dbg_lock spinlock static

Remove the usage of the 'dbg_lock' spinlock from 'dbg_err()' and make it static. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: increase dumps loglevel

2012-02-29T14:10:20Z

Most of the time we use the dumping function to dump something in case of error. We use 'KERN_DEBUG' printk level, and the drawback is that users do not see them in the console, while they see the other error messages in the console. The result is that they send bug reports which does not contain a lot of useful information. This patch changes the printk level of the dump functions to 'KERN_ERR' to correct the situation. I documented it in the MTD web site that people have to send the 'dmesg' output when submitting bug reposts - it did not help. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
