This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device.
The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
Now, we can adjust that via a kernel parameter:
ubi.mtd=<name|num|path>[,<vid_hdr_offs>[,max_beb_per1024]]

max_beb_per1024 shouldn't be negative, and a 0 value will be treated as
the default value. For the upper bound, 768/1024 should be enough.

UBI has changed the MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT semantics. It used to be a percent of
total amount of eraseblock in the partition, and now it is the maximum
amount of bad eraseblocks on the entire devise per 1024 eraseblocks. So not
only the units changed, but also the meaning.
Richard Genoud <richard.genoud@gmail.com> says:
"I found the board:
https://www.olimex.com/dev/sam9-L9260.html
and the nand datasheet:
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/LyrePrototype/K9xxG08UXM.pdf
page 11, we can see that the max_bad_bebper1024 is 25 (100 for 4096)"
Thus, use "25" for sam9.

On NAND flash devices, UBI reserves some physical erase blocks (PEB) for
bad block handling. Today, the number of reserved PEB can only be set as a
percentage of the total number of PEB in each MTD partition. For example, for a
NAND flash with 128KiB PEB, 2 MTD partition of 20MiB (mtd0) and 100MiB (mtd1)
and 2% reserved PEB:
- the UBI device on mtd0 will have 2 PEB reserved
- the UBI device on mtd1 will have 16 PEB reserved
The problem with this behaviour is that NAND flash manufacturers give a
minimum number of valid block (NVB) during the endurance life of the
device, e.g.:
Parameter Symbol Min Max Unit Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Valid block number NVB 1004 1024 Blocks 1
From this number we can deduce the maximum number of bad PEB that a device will
contain during its endurance life: a 128MiB NAND flash (1024 PEB) will not have
less than 20 bad blocks during the flash endurance life.
But the manufacturer doesn't tell where those bad block will appear. He doesn't
say either if they will be equally disposed on the whole device (and I'm pretty
sure they won't). So, according to the datasheets, we should reserve the
maximum number of bad PEB for each UBI device (worst case scenario: 20 bad
blocks appears on the smallest MTD partition).
So this patch make UBI use the whole MTD device size to calculate the maximum
bad expected eraseblocks.
The Kconfig option is in per1024 blocks, thus it can have a default value of 20
which is *very* common for NAND devices.

'mtd_get_device_size()' returns the size of the whole MTD device, that is the

The existing mechanism of reserving PEBs for bad PEB handling has two
flaws:
- It is calculated as a percentage of good PEBs instead of total PEBs.
- There's no limit on the amount of PEBs UBI reserves for future bad
eraseblock handling.
This patch changes the mechanism to overcome these flaws.
The desired level of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling (beb_rsvd_level)
is set to the maximum expected bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_limit) minus the
existing number of bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_count).
The actual amount of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling is usually set
to the desired level (but in some circumstances may be lower than the
desired level, e.g. when attaching to a device that has too few
available PEBs to satisfy the desired level).
In the case where the device has too many bad PEBs (above the expected
limit), then the desired level, and the actual amount of PEBs reserved
are set to zero. No PEBs will be set aside for future bad eraseblock
handling - even if some PEBs are made available (e.g. by shrinking a
volume).
If another PEB goes bad, and there are available PEBs, then the
eraseblock will be marked bad (consuming one available PEB). But if
there are no available PEBs, ubi will go into readonly mode.

Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
UBI expects to go bad. Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage
of total PEBs in the UBI device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).
The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of PEBs
UBI needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.
Artem: minor amendments.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526c ("time: Improve sanity checking of
timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.
Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
never expire, which is valid.
This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
internal checking to use this more strict function.

Power gating is per crtc pair, but the powergating registers
should be called individually. The hw handles power up/down
properly. The pair is powered up if either crtc in the pair
is powered up and the pair is not powered down until both
crtcs in the pair are powered down. This simplifies
programming and should save additional power as the previous
code never actually power gated the crtc pair.

If verify_parent_transid() fails for all mirrors, the current code
calls repair_io_failure() anyway which means:
- that the disk block is rewritten without repairing anything and
- that a kernel log message is printed which misleadingly claims
that a read error was corrected.
This is an example:
parent transid verify failed on 615015833600 wanted 110423 found 110424
parent transid verify failed on 615015833600 wanted 110423 found 110424
btrfs read error corrected: ino 1 off 615015833600 (dev /dev/...)
It is wrong to ignore the results from verify_parent_transid() and to
call repair_eb_io_failure() when the verification of the transids failed.

With commit acce952b0, btrfs was changed to flag the filesystem with
BTRFS_SUPER_FLAG_ERROR and switch to read-only mode after a fatal
error happened like a write I/O errors of all mirrors.
In such situations, on unmount, the superblock is written in
btrfs_error_commit_super(). This is done with the intention to be able
to evaluate the error flag on the next mount. A warning is printed
in this case during the next mount and the log tree is ignored.
The issue is that it is possible that the superblock points to a root
that was not written (due to write I/O errors).
The result is that the filesystem cannot be mounted. btrfsck also does
not start and all the other btrfs-progs tools fail to start as well.
However, mount -o recovery is working well and does the right things
to recover the filesystem (i.e., don't use the log root, clear the
free space cache and use the next mountable root that is stored in the
root backup array).
This patch removes the writing of the superblock when
BTRFS_SUPER_FLAG_ERROR is set, and removes the handling of the error
flag in the mount function.
These lines can be used to reproduce the issue (using /dev/sdm):
