  • Instead of using 'ubi_read()' function directly, used the 'ubifs_leb_read()'
    helper function instead. This allows to get rid of several redundant error
    messages and make sure that we always have a stack dump on read errors.

  • We have too many different debugging checks - lessen the amount by merging all
    index-related checks into one. At the same time, move the "force in-the-gap"
    test to the "index checks" class, because it is too heavy for the "general"
    class.

    This patch merges TNC, Old index, and Index size check and calles this just
    "index checks".

  • This patch introduces helper functions for all debugging checks, so instead of
    doing

    if (!(ubifs_chk_flags & UBIFS_CHK_GEN))

    we now do

    if (!dbg_is_chk_gen(c))

    This is a preparation to further changes where the flags will go away, and
    we'll need to only change the helper functions, but the code which utilizes
    them won't be touched.

    At the same time this patch removes 'dbg_force_in_the_gaps()',
    'dbg_force_in_the_gaps_enabled()', and dbg_failure_mode helpers for
    consistency.

  • The UBIFS lpt tree is in many aspects similar to the TNC tree, and we have
    similar flags for these trees. And by mistake we use the COW_ZNODE flag for
    LPT in some places, instead of the right flag COW_CNODE. And this works
    only because these two constants have the same value.

    This patch makes all the LPT code to use COW_CNODE and also changes COW_CNODE
    constant value to make sure we do not misuse the flags any more.

  • This patch fixes a brown-paperbag bug which was introduced by me:
    I used incorrect "GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFS" allocation flags to make
    sure my allocations do not cause write-back. But the correct form
    is "GFP_NOFS".

  • Instead of using pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer in
    'dump_lpt_leb()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The intend
    is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer and save
    128KiB of RAM (or more if PEB size is larger). Indeed, currently we
    allocate this memory even if the user never enables any self-check,
    which is wasteful.

    clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • These are mostly long lines and wrong indentation warning
    fixes. But also there are two volatile variables and
    checkpatch.pl complains about them:

    WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
    + volatile int gc_seq;

    WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
    + volatile int gced_lnum;

    Well, we anyway use smp_wmb() for c->gc_seq and c->gced_lnum, so
    these 'volatile' modifiers can be just dropped.

  • The LPT may have gaps in it because initially empty LEBs
    are not added by mkfs.ubifs - because it does not know how
    many there are. Then UBIFS allocates empty LEBs in the
    reverse order that they are discovered i.e. they are
    added to, and removed from, the front of a list. That
    creates a gap in the middle of the LPT.

    The function dirtying the LPT tree (for the purpose of
    small model garbage collection) assumed that a gap could
    only occur at the very end of the LPT and stopped dirtying
    prematurely, which in turn resulted in the LPT running
    out of space - something that is designed to be impossible.
