Traditionally UBIFS just reported a failed assertion and moved on. The drawback is that users will notice UBIFS bugs when it is too late, most of the time when it is no longer about to mount. This makes bug hunting problematic since valuable information from failing asserts is long gone when UBIFS is dead. The other extreme, panic'ing on a failing assert is also not worthwhile, we want users and developers give a chance to collect as much debugging information as possible if UBIFS hits an assert. Therefore go for the third option, switch to read-only mode when an assert fails. That way UBIFS will not write possible bad data to the MTD and gives users the chance to collect debugging information. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
