UBI: support per-device wear-leveling threshold

2026-08-11T22:08:54+00:00

The UBI wear-leveling threshold (CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD) is currently a compile-time constant shared by all UBI devices. When a single kernel image must support multiple NAND flashes with different erase lifetimes, one global threshold cannot suit all devices. Add a per-device configurable wl_threshold parameter: - UAPI: add __s32 wl_threshold to struct ubi_attach_req, carved from the existing padding. - Module parameter: ubi.mtd gains a new optional token "wl_threshold": ubi.mtd=0,0,0,0,0,0,256 ubi.mtd=1,0,0,0,0,0,4096 0 means "use the kernel default", the accepted range is 2-65536.

UBI: fix two issues in the ubi.mtd MODULE_PARM_DESC

2026-08-11T22:08:54+00:00

Fix two issues introduced before: - The parameter format string was missing the enable_fm and need_resv_pool tokens introduced in an earlier commit. - The bad-block reservation note was misplaced after Example 5 instead of after Example 3. It was misplaced due to an earlier patch. Fixes: 83ff59a06663 ("UBI: support ubi_num on mtd.ubi command line") Signed-off-by: Ran Hongyun Reviewed-by: Zhihao Cheng Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd: ubi: Release device reference on busy detach

2026-08-11T22:06:36+00:00

ubi_detach_mtd_dev() obtains a device reference through ubi_get_device() before checking whether the UBI device is busy. The busy return path drops ubi->ref_count but leaves the device reference held, so the device object cannot be released after a later detach. Drop the device reference before returning -EBUSY.

ubi: Fix rollback for explicit UBI device numbers

2026-08-11T22:03:50+00:00

ubi_init_attach() rolls back module initialization failures by scanning ubi_devices[0..i-1], where i is the mtd= parameter index. That assumes the parameter index matches the UBI device number. That assumption is not true when mtd= specifies an explicit ubi_num. A successfully attached device can be stored at a higher ubi_devices[] slot, and a later failure can miss it during rollback. Scan the full ubi_devices[] array and detach by the actual array index, matching the way UBI devices are stored.

UBI: fastmap: Pass to_be_tortured when reusing old fastmap PEBs

2026-08-11T21:33:18+00:00

In ubi_update_fastmap(), when no fresh PEB is available to replace an old fastmap PEB, the old PEB is reused by erasing it synchronously via ubi_sync_erase() with the torture flag hardcoded to zero. However, old_fm->to_be_tortured[] may be non-zero: it is set during fastmap scanning when ubi_io_read_data()/ubi_io_read_ec_hdr() reports UBI_IO_BITFLIPS, meaning the PEB showed signs of bit decay and should be tortured to verify it is still reliable. When the old PEB is instead returned to the WL sub-system via ubi_wl_put_fm_peb(), the to_be_tortured flag is honored. The synchronous reuse path is inconsistent: it silently skips the torture test for PEBs that exhibited bit-flips. Fix it by passing &old_fm->to_be_tortured[i] to ubi_sync_erase().

UBI: Preserve torture flag when rescheduling failed erasures

2026-08-11T21:33:18+00:00

In __erase_worker(), when ubi_sync_erase() returns -EINTR, -ENOMEM, -EAGAIN, or -EBUSY, the physical eraseblock is rescheduled for erasure via schedule_erase() with the torture flag hardcoded to 0. This unconditionally drops the torture request. If the error occurred before torture_peb() completed (e.g., -ENOMEM from the ec_hdr allocation in ubi_sync_erase(), errors from self_check_not_bad()/nor_erase_prepare() in ubi_io_sync_erase(), or torture_peb() failing mid-test because its internal do_sync_erase()/ ubi_io_read()/ubi_io_write() returned one of the above error codes), the torture test was never finished. Such a PEB may reach the free pool without being tortured, defeating the purpose of the torture test for detecting marginally-bad eraseblocks. If the error occurred after torture_peb() succeeded (the final do_sync_erase() in ubi_io_sync_erase() or ubi_io_write_ec_hdr() in ubi_sync_erase() failed), the torture has already been done and need not be repeated. Pass the torture flag by pointer to ubi_sync_erase() and ubi_io_sync_erase(), and clear it to zero once torture_peb() has completed successfully. __erase_worker() then forwards the updated wl_wrk->torture to schedule_erase(): torture already done is dropped, torture not completed is preserved across the reschedule.

block: switch numa_node to int in blk_mq_hw_ctx and init_request

2026-05-26T17:01:55+00:00

numa_node in blk_mq_hw_ctx and the matching argument of blk_mq_ops::init_request can be NUMA_NO_NODE (-1). Declared as unsigned int, NUMA_NO_NODE becomes UINT_MAX and walks off nvme_dev::descriptor_pools[] on CONFIG_NUMA=n [1]. Switch the field and the callback prototype to int and update all in-tree init_request implementations. No functional change: cpu_to_node(), kmalloc_node() and blk_alloc_flush_queue() already take int.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
