7e1f0dc055 mtd: introduce mtd_erase interface
This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface
from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because
we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level,
which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients
call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly.

At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but
later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input
parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be
duplicated at many drivers.

This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The
following patches add all the other interfaces one by one.

9efabc8476 UBI: do not link debug messages when debugging is disabled
Michal Marek spotted the same issue in UBIFS and this patch fixes UBI,
see "UBIFS: not build debug messages with CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_DEBUG disabled"

When UBI debugging is disabled, we have debugging messages defined as:

if (0)
	pr_debug()

But pr_debug macro defines data structures with debugging data and makes
the linux binary larger, even though we have "if (0)".

02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

01a4110d2b UBI: fix oops in error path
This patch fixes an oops in the error path of 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()'. If
anything after 'uif_init()' fails, we get an oops in 'cancel_pending()'. The
reason is that 'uif_close()' drops the last reference count for 'ubi->dev' and
whole 'struct ubi_device' is freed. And then
'ubi_wl_close()'->'cancel_pending()' tries to access the 'ubi' pointer and
problems begin.

Note, in 'ubi_detach_mtd_dev()' function we get a device reference to
work-around this issue. Do the same in the error path of
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()'.

3627924acf UBI: use __packed instead of __attribute__((packed))
There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and
other macros in order to have potentially portable and more

Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL
is broken, the valid URL is:
http://blog.rlove.org/2005/10/with-little-help-from-your-compiler.html

Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using
__attribute__((packed)):

"WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))"

It is not a big deal for UBI to use __packed, so let's do it.

6748482f41 UBI: re-name set volume properties ioctl
Rename the ioctl which sets volume properties from 'UBI_IOCSETPROP' to
'UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP' to reflect the fact that this ioctl is about volume
properties, not device properties. This is also consistent with the
other volume ioctl name - 'UBI_IOCVOLUP'.

The main motivation for the re-name, however, is that we are going
to introduce the per-UBI device "set properties" ioctl, so we need
good and logical naming.

At the same time, re-name the "set volume properties request" data
structure from 'struct ubi_set_prop_req' to
'struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req'.

And re-name 'UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE' to 'UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE'.

e10b376e98 UBI: make the control character device non-seekable
This patch makes the UBI control device (/dev/ubi_ctrl) non-seekable.
The seek operation does is not applicable to this file, so it is
cleaner to explicitly return error (which the added 'no_llseek()')
does than trying to change the position (which the removed
'default_llseek()' does).

This is an API break, but the only known user of this interface is
mtd-utils which does not need the seeking functionality. And any app
which relies on this is broken, but I'm not aware of such apps.

6bef0b6747 UBI: do not select KALLSYMS_ALL
All UBI needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBI debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary.

And the current Kconfig line we have:

select KALLSYMS_ALL if KALLSYMS && DEBUG_KERNEL

is just too complex to be sane and right. But this "if" part there
is needed to prevent "unmet direct dependency" warnings, because
KALLSYMS_ALL depends on KALLSYMS and DEBUG_KERNEL, so we cannot
just select KALLSYMS_ALL.

Anyway, this feels messy, and we do not seem to really need KALLSYMS_ALL,
so select KALLSYMS instead.

We are killing this buffer because we are going to switch to
dynamic debugging control, just like in UBIFS, which means that
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID will be removed. In this case we'd
end up always allocating 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', which is rather large
(128KiB or more), and this would be wasteful. Thus, we are just
killing it.

332873d60b UBI: allocate erase checking buffer on demand
Instead of using pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer in
'ubi_dbg_check_all_ff()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The
intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer
completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change
to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e.,
we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig
option, which would mean that 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated,
which would be wasteful.

Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', and this is a
preparation for that.

f43ec882b8 UBI: provide LEB offset information
Provide the LEB offset information in the UBI device information data
structure. This piece of information is required by UBIFS to find out
what are the LEB offsets which are aligned to the max. write size.

If LEB offset not aligned to max. write size, then UBIFS has to take
this into account to write more optimally.

30b542ef45 UBI: incorporate maximum write size
Incorporate MTD write buffer size into UBI device information
because UBIFS needs this field. UBI does not use it ATM, just
provides to upper layers in 'struct ubi_device_info'.

a87f29cbbc UBI: always re-read in case of read failures
When the read operation fails, UBI tries to re-read several times in
a hope that one of the subsequent reads may succeed. However, currently
UBI re-reads only if MTD failed to read all data, but does not re-reads
if all the data were read, but with an integrity error (-EBADMSB). This
patch makes UBI to always re-try reading.

This should be useful for reading NAND pages with unstable bits -
re-reading may help to get correct data.

6c1e875ca6 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects
During scanning UBI allocates one struct ubi_scan_leb object for each PEB,
so it can end up allocating thousands of them. Use slab cache to reduce
memory consumption for these 48-byte objects, because currently used
'kmalloc()' ends up allocating 64 bytes per object, instead of 48.

7950d023c5 UBI: use raw mtd read function in debugging code
This change affects only the debugging code. Namely, use mtd->read()
function instead of ubi_io_read() to avoid bit-flips injection
(ubi_dbg_is_bitflip()) which we do not want on the debugging path.

276832d878 UBI: try to reveal buggy MTD drivers
When reading data from the flash, corrupt the buffer we are about to
read to. The idea is to fix the following possible situation:

1. The buffer contains data from previous operation, e.g., read from
   another PEB previously. The data looks like expected, e.g., if we
   just do not read anything and return - the caller would not
   notice this. E.g., if we are reading a VID header, the buffer may
   contain a valid VID header from another PEB.
2. The driver is buggy and returns use success or -EBADMSG or
   -EUCLEAN, but it does not actually put any data to the buffer.

This may confuse UBI or upper layers - they may think the buffer
contains valid data while in fact it is just old data.

Thus, try to reveal such buggy MTD drivers with simple debugging
code which fills the read buffer with 0x12 constant.
