Artem Bityutskiy 24a4f8009e UBIFS: be more informative in failure mode
When we are testing UBIFS recovery, it is better to print in which eraseblock
we are going to fail. Currently UBIFS prints it only if recovery debugging
messages are enabled, but this is not very practical. So change 'dbg_rcvry()'
messages to 'ubifs_warn()' messages.

Artem Bityutskiy 81e79d38df UBIFS: switch self-check knobs to debugfs
UBIFS has many built-in self-check functions which can be enabled using the
debug_chks module parameter or the corresponding sysfs file
(/sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_chks). However, this is not flexible enough
because it is not per-filesystem. This patch moves this to debugfs interfaces.

We already have debugfs support, so this patch just adds more debugfs files.
While looking at debugfs support I've noticed that it is racy WRT file-system
unmount, and added a TODO entry for that. This problem has been there for long
time and it is quite standard debugfs PITA. The plan is to fix this later.

This patch is simple, but it is large because it changes many places where we
check if a particular type of checks is enabled or disabled.

Artem Bityutskiy 8d7819b4af UBIFS: lessen amount of debugging check types
We have too many different debugging checks - lessen the amount by merging all
index-related checks into one. At the same time, move the "force in-the-gap"
test to the "index checks" class, because it is too heavy for the "general"
class.

This patch merges TNC, Old index, and Index size check and calles this just
"index checks".

Artem Bityutskiy 2b1844a8c9 UBIFS: introduce helper functions for debugging checks and tests
This patch introduces helper functions for all debugging checks, so instead of
doing

if (!(ubifs_chk_flags & UBIFS_CHK_GEN))

we now do

if (!dbg_is_chk_gen(c))

This is a preparation to further changes where the flags will go away, and
we'll need to only change the helper functions, but the code which utilizes
them won't be touched.

At the same time this patch removes 'dbg_force_in_the_gaps()',
'dbg_force_in_the_gaps_enabled()', and dbg_failure_mode helpers for
consistency.

Artem Bityutskiy 3766244769 UBIFS: use correct flags in lprops
The UBIFS lpt tree is in many aspects similar to the TNC tree, and we have
similar flags for these trees. And by mistake we use the COW_ZNODE flag for
LPT in some places, instead of the right flag COW_CNODE. And this works
only because these two constants have the same value.

Artem Bityutskiy ae380ce047 UBIFS: lessen the size of debugging info data structure
This patch lessens the 'struct ubifs_debug_info' size by 90 bytes by
allocating less bytes for the debugfs root directory name. It introduces macros
for the name patter an length instead of hard-coding 100 bytes. It also makes
UBIFS use 'snprintf()' and teaches it to gracefully catch situations when the
name array is too short.

Additionally, this patch makes 2 unrelated changes - I just thought they do not
deserve separate commits: simplifies 'ubifs_assert()' for non-debugging case
and makes 'dbg_debugfs_init()' properly verify debugfs return code which may be
an error code or NULL, so we should you 'IS_ERR_OR_NULL()' instead of
'IS_ERR()'.

* get rid of kludge with passing ubi to ubifs_fill_super() in ->s_fs_info;

only ubifs_info.  Which it will find in ->s_fs_info just fine, no need to
reassign anything...

As the result, sb_test() becomes safe to apply to all superblocks that
can be found by sget() (and a kludge with temporary use of ->s_fs_info
to store a pointer to very different structure goes away).

Artem Bityutskiy 8370723770 UBIFS: fix clean znode counter corruption in error cases
UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters
('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain
correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'.

However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g.,
if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the
commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And
the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we
end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we
have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it,
'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

Artem Bityutskiy da8b94ea61 UBIFS: fix recovery broken by the previous recovery fix
Unfortunately, the recovery fix d1606a59b6be4ea392eabd40d1250aa1eeb19efb
(UBIFS: fix extremely rare mount failure) broke recovery. This commit make
UBIFS drop the last min. I/O unit in all journal heads, but this is needed only
for the GC head. And this does not work for non-GC heads. For example, if
suppose we have min. I/O units A and B, and A contains a valid node X, which
was fsynced, and then a group of nodes Y which spans the rest of A and B. In
this case we'll drop not only Y, but also X, which is obviously incorrect.

This patch fixes the issue and additionally makes recovery to drop last min.
I/O unit only for the GC head, and leave things as they have been for ages for
the other heads - this is safer.

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.

Artem Bityutskiy bbf2b37a98 UBIFS: fix extremely rare mount failure
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.

LEBs in the filesystem for those that are in-use but have one or more
empty pages, then re-maps the LEBs in order to erase the empty portions.
Afterward it removes the "space_fixup" flag from the UBIFS superblock.

Matthew L. Creech 9f58d3503a UBIFS: add a superblock flag for free space fix-up
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.

Artem: improved commit message, add some more commentaries to the code.

Artem Bityutskiy e11602ea3e UBIFS: share the next_log_lnum helper
We'll need to use the 'next_log_lnum()' helper function from log.c in the fixup
code, so let's move it to misc.h. IOW, this is a preparation to the following
free space fixup changes.

Artem Bityutskiy 91c66083fc UBIFS: expect corruption only in last journal head LEBs
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.

Artem Bityutskiy cb14a18465 UBIFS: synchronize write-buffer before switching to the next bud
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
prone to various errors.

Remove a 'BUG()' statement when we are unable to find a bud and add a
similar 'ubifs_assert()' statement instead.

Artem Bityutskiy e76a452640 UBIFS: change bud replay function conventions
This is a minor preparation patch which changes 'replay_bud()' interface -
instead of passing bud lnum, offs, jhead, etc directly, pass a pointer to the
bud entry which contains all the information. The bud entry will be also needed
in one of the following patches.
