UBI: fix nameless volumes handling

2012-01-25T21:53:21+00:00

commit 4a59c797a18917a5cf3ff7ade296b46134d91e6a upstream. Currently it's possible to create a volume without a name. E.g: ubimkvol -n 32 -s 2MiB -t static /dev/ubi0 -N "" After that vtbl_check() will always fail because it does not permit empty strings.

UBI: fix use-after-free on error path

2012-01-25T21:53:19+00:00

commit e57e0d8e818512047fe379157c3f77f1b9fabffb upstream. When we fail to erase a PEB, we free the corresponding erase entry object, but then re-schedule this object if the error code was something like -EAGAIN. Obviously, it is a bug to use the object after we have freed it. Reported-by: Emese Revfy Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

UBI: fix volume creation input checking

2010-02-09T12:50:45+00:00

UBI: initialise update marker

2010-01-28T23:02:34+00:00

commit ff998793288b49a3b22d929bf8e56362320905ff upstream. The in kernel copy of a volume's update marker is not initialised from the volume table. This means that volumes where an update was unfinnished will not be treated as "forbidden to use". This is basically that the update functionality was broken.

UBI: fix memory leak in update path

2010-01-28T23:02:31+00:00

commit ebddd63b74dcf1cb676d14328d5852f1fee19a8a upstream. When truncating an UBI volume, UBI should allocates a PEB-sized buffer but does not release it, which leads to memory leaks. This patch fixes the issue. Reported-by: Marek Skuczynski Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Tested-by: Marek Skuczynski Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

UBI: flush wl before clearing update marker

2009-12-18T22:03:54+00:00

commit 6afaf8a484cbbfd2ccf58a4e5396d1f280469789 upstream. ubiupdatevol -t does the following: - ubi_start_update() - set_update_marker() - for all LEBs ubi_eba_unmap_leb() - clear_update_marker() - ubi_wl_flush() ubi_wl_flush() physically erases all PEB, once it returns all PEBs are empty. clear_update_marker() has the update marker written after return. If there is a power cut between the last two functions then the UBI volume has no longer the "update" marker set and may have some valid LEBs while some of them may be gone. If that volume in question happens to be a UBIFS volume, then mount will fail with |UBIFS error (pid 1361): ubifs_read_node: bad node type (255 but expected 6) |UBIFS error (pid 1361): ubifs_read_node: bad node at LEB 0:0 |Not a node, first 24 bytes: |00000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff if there is at least one valid LEB and the wear-leveling worker managed to clear LEB 0. The patch waits for the wl worker to finish prior clearing the "update" marker on flash. The two new LEB which are scheduled for erasing after clear_update_marker() should not matter because they are only visible to UBI.

UBI: fix backward compatibility

2009-10-20T07:13:04+00:00

Commit 32bc4820287a1a03982979515949e8ea56eac641 did not fully fix the backward compatibility issues. We still fail to properly handle situations when the first PEB contains non-zero image sequence number, but one of the following PEBs contains zero image sequence number. For example, this may happen if we mount a new image with an old kernel, and then try to mount it in the new kernel. This patch should fix the issue. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
