Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason
to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic
dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With
dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function
and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned
echo 1 > /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs
to enable general messages, we can do:
echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' > control
to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk
infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is
no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing.

This patch fixes an extremely rare mount failure after a power cut, when mount
fails with ENOSPC error because UBIFS could not find the GC LEB.
In short, the reason for this failure is that after recovery the GC head LEB
contains less free space than it had contained just before the power cut
happened. As a result, if the FS is full, 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' is unable
to find a dirty LEB to GC and a free LEB, so mount fails.
This patch contains a huge comment with more detailed explanation, please refer
that comment.
Since this is really really rare and unlikely situation, I do not send this
patch to the stable tree, also because it requires a lot of preparation
patches which I did before. So sending this to -stable would be too risky.

The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by
mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be
fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This
means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free
space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space
cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all
LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation.

This patch improves UBIFS recovery and teaches it to expect corruption only
in the last buds. Indeed, currently we just recover all buds, which is
incorrect because only the last buds can have corruptions in case of a power
cut. So it is inconsistent with the rest of the recovery strategy which tries
hard to distinguish between corruptions cause by power cuts and other types of
corruptions.
This patch also adds one quirk - a bit older UBIFS was could have corruption in
the next to last bud because of the way it switched buds: when bud A is full,
it first searched for the next bud B, the wrote a reference node to the log
about B, and then synchronized the write-buffer of A. So we could end up with
buds A and B, where B is the last, but A had corruption. The UBIFS behavior
was fixed, though, so currently it always first synchronizes A's write-buffer
and only after this adds B to the log. However, to be make sure that we handle
unclean (after a power cut) UBIFS images belonging to older UBIFS - we need to
add a quirk and keep it for some time: we need to check for the situation
described above.
Thankfully, it is easy to check for that situation. When UBIFS adds B to the
log, it always first unmaps B, then maps it, and then syncs A's write-buffer.
Thus, in that situation we can check that B is empty, in which case it is OK to
have corruption in A. To check that B is empty it is enough to just read the
first few bytes of the bud and compare them with 0xFFs. This quirk may be
removed in a couple of years.

Currently when UBIFS fills up the current bud (which is the last in the journal
head) and switches to the next bud, it first writes the log reference node for
the next bud and only after this synchronizes the write-buffer of the previous
bud. This is not a big deal, but an unclean power cut may lead to a situation
when we have corruption in a next-to-last bud, although it is much more logical
that we have to have corruption only in the last bud.
This patch also removes write-buffer synchronization from
'ubifs_wbuf_seek_nolock()' because this is not needed anymore (we synchronize
the write-buffer explicitly everywhere now) and also because this is just

This patch simplifies replay even further - it removes the replay tree and
adds the replay list instead. Indeed, we just do not need to use a tree here -
all we need to do is to add all nodes to the list and then sort it. Using
RB-tree is an overkill - more code and slower. And since we replay buds in
order, we expect the nodes to follow in _mostly_ sorted order, so the merge
sort becomes much cheaper in average than an RB-tree.

This patch simplifies the replay code and makes it smaller. First of all, we
can notice that we do not really need to create bud replay entries and insert
them to the replay tree, because the only reason we do this is to set buds
lprops correctly at the end. Instead, we can just walk the list of buds at the
very end and set lprops for each bud. This allows us to get rid of whole
'insert_ref_node()' function, the 'REPLAY_REF' flag, and several fields in
'struct replay_entry'. Then we can also notice that we do not need the 'flags'
'struct replay_entry' field, because there is only one flag -
'REPLAY_DELETION'. Instead, we can just add a 'deletion' bit fields. As a
result, this patch deletes much more lines that in adds.

When the debugging self-checks are enabled, we go trough whole file-system
after mount and check/validate every single node referred to by the index.
This is implemented by the 'dbg_check_filesystem()' function. However, this
function fails if we mount "unclean" file-system, i.e., if we mount the
file-system after a power cut. It fails with the following symptoms:
UBIFS DBG (pid 8171): ubifs_recover_size: ino 937 size 3309925 -> 3317760
UBIFS: recovery deferred
UBIFS error (pid 8171): check_leaf: data node at LEB 1000:0 is not within inode size 3309925
The reason of failure is that recovery fixed up the inode size in memory, but
not on the flash so far. So the value on the flash is incorrect so far,
and would be corrected when we re-mount R/W. But 'check_leaf()' ignores
this fact and tries to validate the size of the on-flash inode, which is
incorrect, so it fails.
This patch teaches the checking code to look at the VFS inode cache first,
and if there is the inode in question, use that inode instead of the inode
on the flash media. This fixes the issue.

This patch improves the 'dbg_check_space_info()' function which checks
whether the amount of space before re-mounting and after re-mounting
is the same (remounting from R/O to R/W modes and vice-versa).
The problem is that 'dbg_check_space_info()' does not save the budgeting
information before re-mounting, so when an error is reported, we do not
know why the amount of free space changed.
This patches makes the following changes:
1. Teaches 'dbg_dump_budg()' function to accept a 'struct ubifs_budg_info'
argument and print out the this argument. This way we may ask it to
print any saved budgeting info, no only the current one.
2. Accordingly changes all the callers of 'dbg_dump_budg()' to comply with
the changed interface.
3. Introduce a 'saved_bi' (saved budgeting info) field to
'struct ubifs_debug_info' and save the budgeting info before re-mounting
there.
4. Change 'dbg_check_space_info()' and make it print both old and new
budgeting information.
5. Additionally, save 'c->igx_gc_cnt' and print it if and error happens. This
value contributes to the amount of free space, so we have to print it.

This is the second fix of the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
which sometimes happens after power cuts when we mount the file-system - UBIFS
refuses it with the above error message which comes from the
'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function. I can reproduce this using the integck test
with the UBIFS power cut emulation enabled.
Analysis of the problem.
Currently UBIFS replay seeks the journal heads to the last _replayed_ bud.
But the buds are replayed out-of-order, so the replay basically seeks journal
heads to the "random" bud belonging to this head, and not to the _last_ one.
The result of this is that the GC head may be seeked to a full LEB with no free
space, or very little free space. And 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' tries to find a
fully or mostly dirty LEB to match the current GC head (because we need to
garbage-collect that dirty LEB at one go, because we do not have @c->gc_lnum).
So 'ubifs_find_dirty_leb()' fails and we fall back to finding an empty LEB and
also fail. As a result - recovery fails and mounting fails.
This patch teaches the replay to initialize the GC heads exactly to the latest
buds, i.e. the buds which have the largest sequence number in corresponding
log reference nodes.

Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is
re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it
does not allocate write-buffers as well.
This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications
in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are
that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount
it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints:
UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB
Analysis of the problem.
When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but
when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not
allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the
same file-system but for the following 2 cases:
1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover
2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery
In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter
case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not
try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just
try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail.
On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB
(@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting.
Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate
write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3
of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is
about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O.
[1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads
to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads
before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately.

This patch fixes the following symptoms:
1. Unmount UBIFS cleanly.
2. Start mounting UBIFS R/W and have a power cut immediately
3. Start mounting UBIFS R/O, this succeeds
4. Try to re-mount UBIFS R/W - this fails immediately or later on,
because UBIFS will write the master node to the flash area
which has been written before.
The analysis of the problem:
1. UBIFS is unmounted cleanly, both copies of the master node are clean.
2. UBIFS is being mounter R/W, starts changing master node copy 1, and
a power cut happens. The copy N1 becomes corrupted.
3. UBIFS is being mounted R/O. It notices the copy N1 is corrupted and
reads copy N2. Copy N2 is clean.
4. Because of R/O mode, UBIFS cannot recover copy 1.
5. The mount code (ubifs_mount()) sees that the master node is clean,
so it decides that no recovery is needed.
6. We are re-mounting R/W. UBIFS believes no recovery is needed and
starts updating the master node, but copy N1 is still corrupted
and was not recovered!
Fix this problem by marking the master node as dirty every time we
recover it and we are in R/O mode. This forces further recovery and
the UBIFS cleans-up the corruptions and recovers the copy N1 when
re-mounting R/W later.

When UBIFS switches to R/O mode because it detects I/O failures, then
when we unmount, we still may have allocated budget, and the assertions
which verify that we have not budget will fire. But it is expected to
have the budget in case of I/O failures, so the assertion warnings will
be false. Suppress them for the I/O failure case.

This patch fixes UBIFS mount failure when the debugging support is enabled,
we are recovering from a power cut, we were first mounter R/O and we are
re-mounting R/W. In this case we should not assume that the amount of free
space before we have re-mounted R/W and after are equivalent, because
when we have mounted R/O the file-system is in a non-committed state so
the amount of free space is slightly smaller, due to the fact that we cannot
predict the amount of free space precisely before we commit.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping the debugging check in case of
recovery. This issue was reported by Caizhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com>

This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an
file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly
thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system
if it is read-only, but this is not the case.
It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script:
use strict;
use File::Sync qw(fsync sync);
die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0];
my $path = $ARGV[0];
open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!";
fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!";
close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!";

This patch fixes a debugging failure with which looks like this:
UBIFS error (pid 32313): dbg_check_space_info: free space changed from 6019344 to 6022654
The reason for this failure is described in the comment this patch adds
to the code. But in short - 'c->freeable_cnt' may be different before
and after re-mounting, and this is normal. So the debugging code should
make sure that free space calculations do not depend on 'c->freeable_cnt'.
A similar issue has been reported here:

All UBIFS needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBIFS debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary. Moreover, Randy Dunlap reported that UBIFS causes
the following Kconfig dependency warning:
warning: (UBIFS_FS_DEBUG && LOCKDEP && LATENCYTOP) selects KALLSYMS_ALL
which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS)
The reason is that KALLSYMS_ALL requires DEBUG_KERNEL and KALLSYMS, so
ideally, to select KALLSYMS_ALL we'd need to select DEBUG_KERNEL and
KALLSYMS first.
This seems to be too much to select. The easiest way to go is to forget
about KALLSYMS_ALL and just select KALLSYMS when UBIFS debugging is
enabled - that should be enough for stackdumps.

The 'PG_checked' flag is used to indicate that the page does not
supposedly exist on the media (e.g., a hole or a page beyond the
inode size), so it requires slightly bigger budget, because we have
to account the indexing size increase. And this flag basically
tells that the budget for this page has to be "new page budget".
The "new page budget" is slightly bigger than the "existing page
budget".
The 'do_readpage()' function has the following assertion which
sometimes is hit: 'ubifs_assert(!PageChecked(page))'. Obviously,
the meaning of this assertion is: "I should not be asked to read
a page which does not exist on the media".
However, in 'ubifs_write_begin()' we have a small "trick". Notice,
that VFS may write pages which were not read yet, so the page data
were not loaded from the media to the page cache yet. If VFS tells
that it is going to change only some part of the page, we obviously
have to load it from the media. However, if VFS tells that it is
going to change whole page, we do not read it from the media for
optimization purposes.
However, since we do not read it, we do not know if it exists on
the media or not (a hole, etc). So we set the 'PG_checked' flag
to this page to force bigger budget, just in case.
So 'ubifs_write_begin()' sets 'PG_checked'. Then we are in
'ubifs_write_end()'. And VFS tells us: "hey, for some reasons I
changed my mind and did not change whole page". Frankly, I do not
know why this happens, but I hit this somehow on an ARM platform.
And this is extremely rare.
So in this case UBIFS does the following:
1. Cancels allocated budget.
2. Loads the page from the media by calling 'do_readpage()'.
3. Asks VFS to repeat the whole write operation from the very
beginning (call '->write_begin() again, etc).
And the assertion warning is hit at the step 2 - remember we have
the 'PG_checked' set for this page, and 'do_readpage()' does not
like this. So this patch fixes the problem by adding step 1.5 and
cleaning the 'PG_checked' before calling 'do_readpage()'.
All in all, this patch does not fix any functionality issue, but it
silences UBIFS false positive warning which may happen in very very
rare cases.
And while on it, this patch also improves a commentary which explains
the reasons of setting the 'PG_checked' flag for the page. The old
commentary was a bit difficult to understand.

Change the default UBIFS behavior WRT data CRC checking. Currently,
UBIFS checks data CRC when reading, which slows it down quite a bit,
and this is the default option. However, it looks like in average
user does not need this feature and would prefer faster read speed
over extra reliability. And this seems to be de-facto standard that
file-systems do not check data CRC every time they read from the
media.
Thus, make UBIFS default behavior so that it does not check data
CRC. This corresponds to the no_chk_data_crc mount option. Those users
who need extra protection can always enable it using the chk_data_crc
option.

When recovering from unclean reboots UBIFS scans the journal and checks nodes.
If a corrupted node is found, UBIFS tries to check if this is the last node
in the LEB or not. This is is done by checking if there only 0xFF bytes
starting from the next min. I/O unit. However, since now we write in
c->max_write_size, we should actually check for 0xFFs starting from the
next max. write unit.

Switch write-buffers from 'c->min_io_size' to 'c->max_write_size' which
