8f461a7302 mtd: introduce mtd_can_have_bb helper
This patch introduces new 'mtd_can_have_bb()' helper function which checks
whether the flash can have bad eraseblocks. Then it changes all the
direct 'mtd->block_isbad' use cases with 'mtd_can_have_bb()'.

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.

e57e0d8e81 UBI: fix use-after-free on error path
When we fail to erase a PEB, we free the corresponding erase entry object,
but then re-schedule this object if the error code was something like -EAGAIN.
Obviously, it is a bug to use the object after we have freed it.

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()'.

"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.

28237e4583 UBI: make tests modes dynamic
Similarly to the debugging checks and message, make the test modes
be dynamically selected via the "debug_tsts" module parameter or
via the "/sys/module/ubi/parameters/debug_tsts" sysfs file. This
is consistent with UBIFS as well.

And now, since all the Kconfig knobs became dynamic, we can remove
the Kconfig.debug file completely.

92d124f531 UBI: make self-checks dynamic
This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks
on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.

This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which
includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which
includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are
relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

b342efd4a4 UBI: make debugging messages dynamic
This patch adds a possibility to dynamically select UBI debugging
messages, instead of selecting them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.

6f9fdf62db UBI: remove UBI_IO_DEBUG macro
This additional little macro is used to print a bit more messages
while scanning the media. However, we have the 'dbg_bld()' macro
for this, so we better us 'dbg_bld()' and kill UBI_IO_DEBUG. This
simplifies the code a tiny bit.

6edb979395 UBI: kill debugging buffer
This patch kills the 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' debugging buffer and the
associated mutex, because all users of this buffer are now gone.
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.
