Boris Brezillon 8f347c4232 mtd: Unconditionally update ->fail_addr and ->addr in part_erase()
->fail_addr and ->addr can be updated no matter the result of
parent->_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing
in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice.

Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to
not pass an erase_info->callback() and are thus only taking the
->addr_fail and ->addr fields into account after part_erase() has
returned.

While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info->mtd field which was only
needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

None of the mtd->_erase() implementations work in an asynchronous manner,

Boris Brezillon 3291b52f9f UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept
Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the
ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions
make sure to align allocation on ubi->vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the
vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi->vid_hdr_shift requirements.
This works fine, but is a bit convoluted.
Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support
MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID
header.

Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information
to the VID header.

We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but
will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.

Sascha Hauer 8a8e8d2fdb ubi: Only read necessary size when reading the VID header
When reading the vid hdr from the device UBI always reads a whole
page. Instead, read only the data we actually need and speed up
attachment of UBI devices by potentially making use of reading
subpages if the NAND driver supports it.

Since the VID header may be at offset vid_hdr_shift in the page and
we can only read from the beginning of a page we have to add that
offset to the read size.

Qi Wang 王起 (qiwang) 2c7ca5cc36 UBI: avoid program operation on NOR flash after erasure interrupted
nor_erase_prepare() will be called before erase a NOR flash, it will program '0'
into a block to mark this block. But program data into a erasure interrupted block
can cause program timtout(several minutes at most) error, could impact other
operation on NOR flash. So UBIFS can read this block first to avoid unneeded
program operation.

This patch try to put read operation at head of write operation in
nor_erase_prepare(), read out the data.
If the data is already corrupt, then no need to program any data into this block,
just go to erase this block.

Artem Bityutskiy 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.

Artem Bityutskiy 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.

Artem Bityutskiy 7ac760c2f7 UBI: fix corrupted PEB detection for NOR flash
My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if

1. EC header is OK.
2. VID header is corrupted.
3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"

In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
scary warnings, wrongly.

This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.

Artem Bityutskiy bb00e180a9 UBI: make check_pattern function non-static
This patch turns static function 'check_pattern()' into a non-static
'ubi_check_pattern()'. This is just a preparation for the chages which
are coming in the next patches.

Artem Bityutskiy 92e1a7d9e7 UBI: handle bit-flips when no header found
Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only
0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or
not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list,
even though there were bit-flips.

Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a
power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get
a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This
patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

Artem Bityutskiy 74d82d2660 UBI: remove duplicate IO error codes
The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same
and mean that there are only 0xFF bytes instead of headers. Simplify
UBI a little by turning them into a single 'UBI_IO_FF' error code.

Also, stop maintaining commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' which are
almost identical to commentaries in 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()'.
