      UBIFS: extend debug/message capabilities · 235c362b
      Sheng Yong authored
      
      In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI
      devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the
      messages.  Add ubi number and volume id in ubifs_msg/warn/error
      to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info.
      
      For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is
      replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable,
      ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter.
      
      The output looks like,

      UBIFS: fix a race condition · 052c2807
      Artem Bityutskiy authored
      
      Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a
      situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean
      reboot. The problem is theoretical, though.
      
      In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The
      log has the tail and the head.
      
      Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and
      the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the
      log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the
      same position.
      
      At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount
      the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because
      this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the
      log changes is the commit operation.
      
      The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former
      is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly
      just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to
      the flash media during "commit end" phase.
      
      During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the
      commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal
      "disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just
      move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB
      will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes.
      
      When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the
      file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point
      the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we
      started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though.
      
      The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master
      node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log
      tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again.
      
      And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the
      log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we
      write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()').
      
      But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and
      the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens,
      the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in
      trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was
      erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the
      correct log tail at all times.
      
      This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master
      node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with
      the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween
      operations (a) and (b).

      UBIFS: do not read flash unnecessarily · 8b229c76
      Artem Bityutskiy authored
      
      This fix makes the 'dbg_check_old_index()' function return
      immediately if debugging is disabled, instead of executing
      incorrect 'goto out' which causes UBIFS to:
      
      1. Allocate memory
      2. Read the flash
      
      On every commit. OK, we do not commit that often, but it is
      still silly to do unneeded I/O anyway.
      
      Credits to coverity for spotting this silly issue.

      UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts · 2ef13294
      Artem Bityutskiy authored
      
      Commit 2fde99cb "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
      introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
      VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
      to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.
      
      However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
      flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.
      
      This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
      we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
      This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.
      
      This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
      'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
      anything if the FS was mounter R/O.
      
      All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
      and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
      original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

      UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors · 2680d722
      Artem Bityutskiy authored
      
      The R/O state may have various reasons:
      
      1. The UBI volume is R/O
      2. The FS is mounted R/O
      3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error
      
      However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
      1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
      R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
      make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.
      
      But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
      that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
      we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
      in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
      is R/O, our message is bogus.
      
      This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
      we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
      "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
      this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
      for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
      do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
      guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
      patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.
      
      In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
      changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo authored
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit 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.

      We kill the background thread when we switch to R/O mode, and
      start it again whan we switch to R/W mode. OLPC is doing this
      many times during boot, and we see this message many times as
