UBIFS: fix complaints about too small debug buffer size

2012-09-14T16:59:26+00:00

commit 65b455b123c7e2b835a0b7148f9bae584f95000e upstream. When debugging is enabled, we use a temporary on-stack buffer for formatting the key strings like "(11368871, direntry, 0xcd0750)". The buffer size is 32 bytes and sometimes it is not enough to fit the key string - e.g., when inode numbers are high. This is not fatal, but the key strings are incomplete and UBIFS complains like this: UBIFS assert failed in dbg_snprintf_key at 137 (pid 1) This is a regression caused by "515315a UBIFS: fix key printing". Fix the issue by increasing the buffer to 48 bytes. Reported-by: Michael Hench Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Tested-by: Michael Hench Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

UBIFS: fix crash on error path

2012-09-14T16:59:26+00:00

commit 11e3be0be2a1314e0861304857e7efcaed5d3e54 upstream. This patch fixes a regression introduced by "4994297 UBIFS: make ubifs_lpt_init clean-up in case of failure" which I've hit while running the 'integck -p' test. When remount the file-system from R/O mode to R/W mode and 'lpt_init_wr()' fails, we free _all_ LPT resources by calling 'ubifs_lpt_free(c, 0)', even those needed for R/O mode. This leads to subsequent crashes, e.g., if we try to unmount the file-system. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-up

2012-07-20T07:13:27+00:00

UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is relatively new (introduced in v3.0). The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and does not have anything in the journal. There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly. All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0 The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount. The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to 'fixup_leb()'.

UBIFS: correct usage of IS_ENABLED()

2012-06-27T11:22:15+00:00

Commit "818039c UBIFS: fix debugfs-less systems support" fixed one regression but introduced a different regression - the debugfs is now always compiled out. Root cause: IS_ENABLED() arguments should be used with the CONFIG_* prefix. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: fix assertion

2012-06-18T11:17:08+00:00

The asserts here never check anything because it uses '|' instead of '&'. Now if the flags are not set it prints a warning a a stack trace. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBIFS: fix debugfs-less systems support

2012-06-07T07:43:54+00:00

Commit "f70b7e5 UBIFS: remove Kconfig debugging option" broke UBIFS and it refuses to initialize if debugfs (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) is disabled. I incorrectly assumed that debugfs files creation function will return success if debugfs is disabled, but they actually return -ENODEV. This patch fixes the issue.

UBI: amend commentaries WRT dtype

2012-05-20T17:25:59+00:00

Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in the ubi-user.h for people who may ever wonder what was that dtype thing about. This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for the "dtype" field. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
