UBI uses positive function return codes internally, and should not propagate
them up, except in the place this path fixes. Here is the original bug report
from Dan Carpenter:
The problem is really in ubi_eba_read_leb().
drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c
412 err = ubi_io_read_vid_hdr(ubi, pnum, vid_hdr, 1);
413 if (err && err != UBI_IO_BITFLIPS) {
414 if (err > 0) {
415 /*
416 * The header is either absent or corrupted.
417 * The former case means there is a bug -
418 * switch to read-only mode just in case.
419 * The latter case means a real corruption - we
420 * may try to recover data. FIXME: but this is
421 * not implemented.
422 */
423 if (err == UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG ||
424 err == UBI_IO_BAD_HDR) {
425 ubi_warn("corrupted VID header at PEB %d, LEB %d:%d",
426 pnum, vol_id, lnum);
427 err = -EBADMSG;
428 } else
429 ubi_ro_mode(ubi);
On this path we return UBI_IO_FF and UBI_IO_FF_BITFLIPS and it
eventually gets passed to ERR_PTR(). We probably dereference the bad
pointer and oops. At that point we've gone read only so it was already
a bad situation...
430 }
431 goto out_free;
432 } else if (err == UBI_IO_BITFLIPS)
433 scrub = 1;

This is part of a multipart patch to allow UBI to force the erasure of
particular logical eraseblock numbers. In this patch, the volume id and LEB
number are added to ubi_work data structure, and both are also passed as a
parameter to schedule erase to set it appropriately. Whenever ubi_wl_put_peb
is called, the lnum is also passed to be forwarded to schedule erase. Later,
a new ubi_sync_lnum will be added to execute immediately all work related to
that lnum.
This was tested by outputting the vol_id and lnum during the schedule of
erasure. The ubi thread was disabled and two ubifs drives on separate
partitions repeated changed a small number of LEBs. The ubi module was readded,
and all the erased LEBs, corresponding to the volumes, were added to the
schedule erase queue.

Remove the pre-allocated 'peb_buf2' buffer because we do not really need it.
The only reason UBI has it is to check that the data were written correctly.
But we do not have to have 2 buffers for this and waste RAM - we can just
compare CRC checksums instead. This reduces UBI memory consumption.

Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature
of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption.
The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy
potentially important data.
With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID
header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is
safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may
be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead,
UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB.
IOW, UBI preserves this PEB.
Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them
we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power
cut corrupted PEBs is 8.
This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter
(Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points
to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got
corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches)
tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier
to analyze the corruption.

Rename UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_READ into UBI_IO_BAD_HDR_EBADMSG which is presumably more

Currently, when UBI attaches an MTD device and cannot reserve all 1% (by
default) of PEBs for bad eraseblocks handling, it prints a warning. However,
Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com> is not very happy to see this warning,
because he did reserve enough of PEB at the beginning, but with time some
PEBs became bad. The warning is not necessary in this case.
This patch makes UBI print the warning
o if this is a new image
o of this is used image and the amount of reserved PEBs is only 10% (or less)
of the size of the reserved PEB pool.

The UBIFS WL worker may encounter read errors and there is logic
which makes a decision whether we should do one of:
1. cancel the operation and move the PEB with the read errors to
the 'erroneous' list;
2. switch to R/O mode.
ATM, only -EIO errors trigger 1., other errors trigger 2. The idea
is that if we know we encountered an I/O error, do 1. Otherwise,
we do not know how to react, and do 2., just in case. E.g., if
the underlying driver became crazy because of a bug, we do not
want to harm any data, and switch to R/O mode.
This patch does 2 things:
1. Makes sure reads from the source PEB always cause 1. This is
more consistent with other reads which come from the upper
layers and never cause R/O.
2. Teaches UBI to do 1. also on -EBADMSG, UBI_IO_BAD_VID_HDR,
-ENOMEM, and -ETIMEOUT. But this is only when reading the
target PEB.
This preblems were hunted by Adrian Hunter.

This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
again.
But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.

The problem: NAND flashes have different amount of initial bad physical
eraseblocks (marked as bad by the manufacturer). For example, for 256MiB
Samsung OneNAND flash there might be from 0 to 40 bad initial eraseblocks,
which is about 2%. When UBI is used as the base system, one needs to know
the exact amount of good physical eraseblocks, because this number is
needed to create the UBI image which is put to the devices during
production. But this number is not know, which forces us to use the
minimum number of good physical eraseblocks. And UBI additionally
reserves some percentage of physical eraseblocks for bad block handling
(default is 1%), so we have 1-3% of PEBs reserved at the end, depending
on the amount of initial bad PEBs. But it is desired to always have
1% (or more, depending on the configuration).
Solution: this patch adds an "auto-resize" flag to the volume table.
The volume which has the "auto-resize" flag will automatically be re-sized
(enlarged) on the first UBI initialization. UBI clears the flag when
the volume is re-sized. Only one volume may have the "auto-resize" flag.
So, the production UBI image may have one volume with "auto-resize"
flag set, and its size is automatically adjusted on the first boot
of the device.
