Use GFP_NOFS flag when allocating memory on I/O path, because otherwise
we may deadlock the filesystem which works on top of us. We observed
the deadlocks with UBIFS. Example:
VFS->FS lock a lock->UBI->kmalloc()->VFS writeback->FS locks the same
lock again.

I can't find anything guaranteeing that 'ubi_num' cannot be <0 in
drivers/mtd/ubi/kapi.c::ubi_open_volume(), and in fact the code
even tests for that and errors out if so. Unfortunately the test
for "ubi_num < 0" happens after we've already used 'ubi_num' as
an array index - bad thing to do if it is negative.
This patch moves the test earlier in the function and then moves
the indexing using that variable after the check. A bit safer :-)

Fix a couple drivers that do not correctly terminate their pci_device_id
lists. This results in garbage being spewed into modules.pcimap when the
module happens to not have 28 NULL bytes following the table, and/or the
last PCI ID is actually truncated from the table when calculating the
modules.alias PCI aliases, cause those unfortunate device IDs to not

The use of try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) in ubi_get_device_info does not
offer real protection against unexpected driver unloads, since we could
be preempted before try_modules_get gets executed. It is the caller who
should manipulate the refcounts. Besides, ubi_get_device_info is an

I was experiencing overflows in multiplications for
volume->used_bytes in vmt.c & vtbl.c, while creating & resizing large volumes.
vol->used_bytes is long long however its 2 operands vol->used_ebs &
vol->usable_leb_size
are int. So their multiplication for larger values causes integer overflows.
Typecasting them solves the problem.
My machine & flash details:
64Bit dual-core AMD opteron, 1 GB RAM, linux 2.6.18.3.
mtd size = 6GB, volume size= 5GB, peb_size = 4MB.

happens when we continuously write one block again and again and reboot
machine before background thread erases those blocks.

the same seqnum.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
