UBIFS has erroneuosly set 'sb->s_dev' to the UBI volume
character device major/minor. This may lead to clashes
if there is another FS mounted to a block device with
the same major/minor numbers. User-space programs which
use 'stat->st_dev' may get confused because of this.
This problem was found by Al Viro. He also pointed the
way to fix the problem - use 'set_anon_super()' and
'kill_anon_super()' VFS helpers.

When UBIFS runs out of space it spends a lot of time trying to
find more space before returning ENOSPC. As there is no point
repeating that unless something has changed, UBIFS has an
optimization to record that the file system is 100% full and not
try to find space. That flag was not being reset when a pending
deletion was finally done.

simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:
up_write(sb->s_unmount);
deactivate_super(sb);
if simple_set_mnt() fails.
Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the
media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to
mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to
preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write
forward-compatibility is not preserved.
This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the

When mounting/re-mounting, UBIFS returns EINVAL even if the ENOSPC
or EROFS codes are are much better, just because we have not found
references to ENOSPC/EROFS in mount (2) man pages. This patch
changes this behaviour and makes UBIFS return real error code,
because:
1. It is just less confusing and more logical
2. mount is not described in SuSv3, so it seems to be not really
well-standartized
3. we do not cover all cases, and any random undocumented in man
pages error code may be returned anyway

When we mount UBIFS, GC LEB may contain out-of-date information,

VFS calls '->sync_fs()' twice - first time with @wait = 0, second

WB_SYNC_HOLD is going to be zapped so we should not use it. Use
%WB_SYNC_NONE instead. Here is what akpm said:
"I think I'll just switch that to WB_SYNC_NONE. The `wait==0' mode is
just an advisory thing to help the fs shove lots of data into the
queues. If some gets missed then it'll be picked up on the second
->sync_fs call, with wait==1."

UBIFS commits on unmount to make the next mount faster. Currently,
it commits only if there is more than LEB size bytes in the
journal. This is not very good, because journal size may be
large (512KiB). And there may be few deletions in the journal
which do not take much journal space, but which do introduce
a lot of TNC changes and make mount slow.
Thus, jurt remove this condition and always commit.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Always run commit in sync_fs, because even if the journal seems
to be almost empty, there may be a deletion which removes a large
file, which affects the index greatly. And because we want
better free space predictions after 'sync_fs()', we have to
commit.

Argh. The ->sync_fs call is called _before_ all inodes are flushed.
This means we first sync write buffers and commit, then all
inodes are synced, and we end up with unflushed write buffers!

To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.
This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.
Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.
