Pull UBI fixes from Artem Bityutskiy: "Two UBI fastmap-related fixes for v3.16: - fix UBI fastmap support which we broke in 3.16-rc1 by reversing the volumes RB-tree sorting criteria. - make sure that we scrub all PEBs where we see bit-flips - we were missing some of them when the fastmap feature was enabled" * tag 'upstream-3.16-rc6' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs: UBI: fastmap: do not miss bit-flips UBI: fix the volumes tree sorting criteria

UBI: fastmap: do not miss bit-flips

2014-07-16T05:32:00Z

The return value from 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()' was stored in 'err', not in 'ret'. This fix makes sure Fastmap-enabled UBI does not miss bit-flip while reading EC headers, events and scrubs the affected PEBs. This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.

mtd: cfi_cmdset_0001.c: add support for Sharp LH28F640BF NOR

2014-07-14T05:22:47Z

This family of chips was long ago supported by the pre-cfi driver. CFI code tested on several Zaurus SL-5500 (Collie) 2x16 on 32 bit bus. Function is_LH28F640BF() mimics is_m29ew() from cmdset_0002.c Buffer write fixes as seen in 2007 patch c/o Anti Sullin artecdesign.ee> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/36733 [Brian: this patch is semi-urgent, because the following patch switches to using CFI detection for a chip which (until now) is unsupported by the CFI driver 9218310 ARM: 8084/1: sa1100: collie: revert back to cfi_probe ] Signed-off-by: Andrea Adami Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: reduce the warning noise when the ECC is too weak

2014-07-14T05:19:02Z

In commit 67a9ad9b8a6f ("mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC strength is too weak"), a check was added to inform the user when the ECC used for a NAND device is weaker than the recommended ECC advertised by the NAND chip. However, the warning uses WARN_ON(), which has two undesirable side-effects: - It just prints to the kernel log the fact that there is a warning in this file, at this line, but it doesn't explain anything about the warning itself. - It dumps a stack trace which is very noisy, for something that the user is most likely not able to fix. If a certain ECC used by the kernel is weaker than the advertised one, it's most likely to make sure the kernel uses an ECC that is compatible with the one used by the bootloader, and changing the bootloader may not necessarily be easy. Therefore, normal users would not be able to do anything to fix this very noisy warning, and will have to suffer from it at every kernel boot. At least every time I see this stack trace in my kernel boot log, I wonder what new thing is broken, just to realize that it's once again this NAND ECC warning. Therefore, this commit turns: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at /home/thomas/projets/linux-2.6/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c:4051 nand_scan_tail+0x538/0x780() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.16.0-rc3-dirty #4 [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [] (show_stack) from [] (warn_slowpath_common+0x6c/0x8c) [] (warn_slowpath_common) from [] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) [] (warn_slowpath_null) from [] (nand_scan_tail+0x538/0x780) [] (nand_scan_tail) from [] (orion_nand_probe+0x224/0x2e4) [] (orion_nand_probe) from [] (platform_drv_probe+0x18/0x4c) [] (platform_drv_probe) from [] (really_probe+0x80/0x218) [] (really_probe) from [] (__driver_attach+0x98/0x9c) [] (__driver_attach) from [] (bus_for_each_dev+0x64/0x94) [] (bus_for_each_dev) from [] (bus_add_driver+0x144/0x1ec) [] (bus_add_driver) from [] (driver_register+0x78/0xf8) [] (driver_register) from [] (platform_driver_probe+0x20/0xb8) [] (platform_driver_probe) from [] (do_one_initcall+0x80/0x1d8) [] (do_one_initcall) from [] (kernel_init_freeable+0xf4/0x1b4) [] (kernel_init_freeable) from [] (kernel_init+0x8/0xec) [] (kernel_init) from [] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24) ---[ end trace 62f87d875aceccb4 ]--- Into the much shorter, and much more useful: nand: WARNING: MT29F2G08ABAEAWP: the ECC used on your system is too weak compared to the one required by the NAND chip Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

UBI: fix the volumes tree sorting criteria

2014-07-01T06:23:03Z

Commig "604b592 UBI: fix rb_tree node comparison in add_map" broke fastmap backward compatibility and older fastmap images cannot be mounted anymore. The reason is that it changes the volumes RB-tree sorting criteria. This patch fixes the problem.
