Linus Torvalds 02201e3f1b Minor merge needed, due to function move.
Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
 speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module lock
 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.
 
 Cheers,
 Rusty.

Dan Ehrenberg 2bf50d42f3 UBI: block: Dynamically allocate minor numbers
This patch makes ubiblock devices have minor numbers beginning from
0, allocated dynamically independently of the ubi device/volume
number. This property becomes useful because, on 32-bit architectures
with LFS turned off in a userspace program, device minor numbers
over 8 bits cause stat to return -EOVERFLOW. If the device number is
high (>1) due to multiple MTD partitions, such an overflow will occur.
While enabling LFS is clearly a nicer solution, it's often difficult
to turn on in practice globally as many widely distributed packages
don't work with LFS on.

Other storage systems have their own workarounds, with SCSI making
multiple device majors and MMC having a config option for the number
of partitions per device. A completely dynamic minor numbering is
simpler than these. It is unlikely that anyone is depending on a
static minor number since the major is dynamic anyway. In addition,
ubiblock is still relatively new, so now is the time to make such
changes.

Most code already uses consts for the struct kernel_param_ops,
sweep the kernel for the last offending stragglers. Other than
include/linux/moduleparam.h and kernel/params.c all other changes

In the future git could get Coccinelle merge support to deal with

automatically for us on patches where the grammar is available and
the patch is of high confidence. Consider this a feature request.

Kevin Cernekee 98fb1ffd81 UBI: block: Add missing cache flushes
Block drivers are responsible for calling flush_dcache_page() on each
BIO request. This operation keeps the I$ coherent with the D$ on
architectures that don't have hardware coherency support. Without this
flush, random crashes are seen when executing user programs from an ext4
filesystem backed by a ubiblock device.

This patch is based on the change implemented in commit 2d4dc890b5
("block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a
request's pages").

Dan Ehrenberg 1440061be1 UBI: block: Continue creating ubiblocks after an initialization error
If one ubi volume is corrupted but another is not, it should be
possible to initialize that ubiblock from a kernel commandline which
includes both of them. This patch changes the error handling behavior
in initializing ubiblock to ensure that all parameters are attempted
even if one fails. If there is a failure, it is logged on dmesg.
It also makes error messages more descriptive by including the
name of the UBI volume that failed.

Tested: Formatted ubi volume /dev/ubi5_0 in a corrupt way and
dev/ubi3_0 properly and included "ubi.block=5,0 ubi.block=3,0" on
the kernel command line. At boot, I see the following in the console:
[   21.082420] UBI error: ubiblock_create_from_param: block: can't open volume on ubi5_0, err=-19
[   21.084268] UBI: ubiblock3_0 created from ubi3:0(rootfs)

Ezequiel Garcia 978d649675 UBI: block: Fix block device size setting
We are currently taking the block device size from the ubi_volume_info.size
field. However, this is not the amount of data in the volume, but the
number of reserved physical eraseblocks, and hence leads to an incorrect
representation of the volume.

In particular, this produces I/O errors on static volumes as the block
interface may attempt to read unmapped PEBs:

$ cat /dev/ubiblock0_0 > /dev/null
UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_0 ubi_read error -22
end_request: I/O error, dev ubiblock0_0, sector 9536
Buffer I/O error on device ubiblock0_0, logical block 2384
[snip]

Fix this by using the ubi_volume_info.used_bytes field which is set to the
actual number of data bytes for both static and dynamic volumes.

While here, improve the error message to be less stupid and more useful:
UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_1 ubi_read error -9 on LEB=0, off=15872, len=512

It's worth noticing that the 512-byte sector representation of the volume
is only correct if the volume size is multiple of 512-bytes. This is true for
virtually any NAND device, given eraseblocks and pages are 512-byte multiple
and hence so is the LEB size.

Artem: tweak the error message and make it look more like other UBI error
messages.

Linus Torvalds d53b47c08d This pull request contains several UBIFS fixes. One of them fixes a race
condition between the mmap page fault path and fsync. Another just removes a
 bogus assertion from the UBIFS memory shrinker.
 
 UBIFS also started honoring the MS_SILENT mount flag, so now it won't print
 many I/O errors when user-space just tries to probe for the FS.
 
 Rest of the changes are rather minor UBI/UBIFS fixes, improvements, and
 clean-ups.

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
  into blk-mq in the last 3 months.  Generally we're heading to where
  3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq.  scsi-mq is
  progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17.  A nvme port is in
  progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
  and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.

  This pull request contains:

   - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
     All from Christoph.

   - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.

   - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
     blk-mq from Ming Lei.

   - A flew of blk-mq updates from me:

     * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
       to queue mapping.  This enables optimizations in the driver.

     * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
       really worked well for blk-mq.  percpu_ida relies on the fact
       that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
       fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
       exhausting) the tag space.

     * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq

     * Various fixes for IO timeouts.

     * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.

   - Remove 'buffer' from struct request.  This is ancient code, from
     when requests were always virtually mapped.  Kill it, to reclaim
     some space in struct request.  From me.

   - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug.  Since we store these on the stack
     and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
     get rid of it.  From me.

   - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
     atomic reads.  Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
     the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
     IO on blk-mq.  From me.

   - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/.  This
     includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c.  From me,
     from a discussion on lkml.

  That should describe the meat of the pull request.  Also has various
  little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
  Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
  Bradshaw"

Ezequiel Garcia ca2b722d1a UBI: block: Mark init-only symbol as __initdata
ubiblock_param_ops should be marked as __init as it's only used to set
a driver parameter on insertion time. This commit fixes the following:

  WARNING: drivers/mtd/built-in.o(.text+0x653ac): Section mismatch in
  reference from the variable ubiblock_param_ops to the function
  .init.text:ubiblock_set_param()

  The function ubiblock_param_ops() references the function __init
  ubiblock_set_param(). This is often because ubiblock_param_ops lacks a
  __init annotation or the annotation of ubiblock_set_param is wrong.

Given gcc errors if the struct is marked const __initdata, this commit
drops the const mark from it.

Artem Bityutskiy 4d283ee251 UBI: block: do not use term "attach"
We already use term attach/detach for UBI->MTD relations, let's not use this
for UBI->ubiblock relations to avoid confusion. Just use 'create' and 'remove'
instead. E.g., "create a R/O block device on top of a UBI volume".

Ezequiel Garcia 9d54c8a33e UBI: R/O block driver on top of UBI volumes
This commit introduces read-only block device emulation on top of UBI volumes.

Given UBI takes care of wear leveling and bad block management it's possible
to add a thin layer to enable block device access to UBI volumes.
This allows to use a block-oriented filesystem on a flash device.

The UBI block devices are meant to be used in conjunction with any
regular, block-oriented file system (e.g. ext4), although it's primarily
targeted at read-only file systems, such as squashfs.

Block devices are created upon user request through new ioctls:
UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK to attach and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to detach.
Also, a new UBI module parameter is added 'ubi.block'. This parameter is
needed in order to attach a block device on boot-up time, allowing to
mount the rootfs on a ubiblock device.
For instance, you could have these kernel parameters:

  ubi.mtd=5 ubi.block=0,0 root=/dev/ubiblock0_0

Or, if you compile ubi as a module:

  $ modprobe ubi mtd=/dev/mtd5 block=/dev/ubi0_0

Artem: amend commentaries and massage the patch a little bit.
