ubifs: Check @c->dirty_[n|p]n_cnt and @c->nroot state under @c->lp_mutex

The checking of @c->nroot->flags and @c->dirty_[n|p]n_cnt in function
nothing_to_commit() is not atomic, which could be raced with modifying
of lpt, for example:
P1 P2 P3
run_gc
ubifs_garbage_collect
do_commit
ubifs_return_leb
ubifs_lpt_lookup_dirty
dirty_cow_nnode
do_commit
nothing_to_commit
if (test_bit(DIRTY_CNODE, &c->nroot->flags)
// false
test_and_set_bit(DIRTY_CNODE, &nnode->flags)
c->dirty_nn_cnt += 1
ubifs_assert(c, c->dirty_nn_cnt == 0)
// false !

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

UBIFS: extend debug/message capabilities

In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI
devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the
messages. Add ubi number and volume id in ubifs_msg/warn/error
to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info.

For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is
replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable,
ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter.

The output looks like,

UBIFS: fix a race condition

Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a
situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean
reboot. The problem is theoretical, though.

In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The
log has the tail and the head.

Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and
the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the
log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the
same position.

At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount
the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because
this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the
log changes is the commit operation.

The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former
is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly
just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to
the flash media during "commit end" phase.

During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the
commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal
"disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just
move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB
will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes.

When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the
file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point
the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we
started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though.

The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master
node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log
tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again.

And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the
log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we
write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()').

But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and
the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens,
the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in
trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was
erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the
correct log tail at all times.

This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master
node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with
the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween
operations (a) and (b).

# 944fdef5 16-Jan-2011 Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

UBIFS: do not start the commit if there is nothing to commit

This patch fixes suboptimal UBIFS 'sync_fs()' implementation which causes
flash I/O even if the file-system is synchronized. E.g., a 'printk()'
in the MTD erasure function (e.g., 'nand_erase_nand()') can show that
for every 'sync' shell command UBIFS erases at least one eraseblock.

So '$ while true; do sync; done' will cause huge amount of flash I/O.

The reason for this is that UBIFS commits in 'sync_fs()', and starts the
commit even if there is nothing to commit, e.g., it anyway changes the
log. This patch adds a check in the 'do_commit()' UBIFS functions which
prevents the commit if there is nothing to commit.

# 2ef13294 19-Sep-2010 Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mounts

Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.

However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.

This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.

All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

# 2680d722 17-Sep-2010 Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors

The R/O state may have various reasons:

1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error

However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.

But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.

This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.

In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

# 5a0e3ad6 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

UBIFS: remove printk

Remove the "UBIFS background thread ubifs_bgd0_0 started" message.
We kill the background thread when we switch to R/O mode, and
start it again whan we switch to R/W mode. OLPC is doing this
many times during boot, and we see this message many times as
well, which is irritating. So just kill the message.

Increment the commit number at the beginnig of the commit, instead
of doing this after the commit. This is needed for further
optimizations.
