ubi: fastmap: Add control in 'UBI_IOCATT' ioctl to reserve PEBs for filling pools This patch imports a new field 'need_resv_pool' in struct 'ubi_attach_req' to control whether or not reserving free PEBs for filling pool/wl_pool.

ubi: fastmap: Add fastmap control support for 'UBI_IOCATT' ioctl [1] suggests that fastmap is suitable for large flash devices. Module parameter 'fm_autoconvert' is a coarse grained switch to enable all ubi devices to generate fastmap, which may turn on fastmap even for small flash devices. This patch imports a new field 'disable_fm' in struct 'ubi_attach_req' to support following situations by ioctl 'UBI_IOCATT'. [old functions] A. Disable 'fm_autoconvert': Disbable fastmap for all ubi devices B. Enable 'fm_autoconvert': Enable fastmap for all ubi devices [new function] C. Enable 'fm_autoconvert', set 'disable_fm' for given device: Don't create new fastmap and do full scan (existed fastmap will be destroyed) for the given ubi device. A simple test case in [2].

ubi: Expose the bitrot interface Using UBI_IOCRPEB and UBI_IOCSPEB userspace can force reading and scrubbing of PEBs. In case of bitflips UBI will automatically take action and move data to a different PEB. This interface allows a daemon to foster your NAND. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

ubi: expose the volume CRC check skip flag Now that we have the logic for skipping CRC check for static UBI volumes in the core, let's expose it to users. This makes use of a padding byte in the volume description data structure as a flag. This flag only tell for now whether we should skip the CRC check of a volume. This checks the UBI volume for which we are trying to skip the CRC check is static. Let's also make sure that the flags passed to verify_mkvol_req are valid. We voluntarily do not take into account the skip_check flag in vol_cdev_write() as we want to make sure what we wrote was correctly written.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

UBI: make UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK take a parameter for future usage In order to allow a future ioctl parameter, such as a creation flag, we change the UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK so it accepts a struct ubi_blkcreate_req. For the time being the structure is not in use, but fully reserved. This ABI change is still possible and harmless, because the ioctl has just been introduced and there's no userspace program which uses it.

UBI: rename block device ioctls Rename the UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK, because we do not use terms "attach" and "detach" for the R/O block devices on top of UBI volumes. Instead, we use terms "create" and "remove". This patch also amends the related commentaries.

UBI: R/O block driver on top of UBI volumes This commit introduces read-only block device emulation on top of UBI volumes. Given UBI takes care of wear leveling and bad block management it's possible to add a thin layer to enable block device access to UBI volumes. This allows to use a block-oriented filesystem on a flash device. The UBI block devices are meant to be used in conjunction with any regular, block-oriented file system (e.g. ext4), although it's primarily targeted at read-only file systems, such as squashfs. Block devices are created upon user request through new ioctls: UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK to attach and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to detach. Also, a new UBI module parameter is added 'ubi.block'. This parameter is needed in order to attach a block device on boot-up time, allowing to mount the rootfs on a ubiblock device. For instance, you could have these kernel parameters: ubi.mtd=5 ubi.block=0,0 root=/dev/ubiblock0_0 Or, if you compile ubi as a module: $ modprobe ubi mtd=/dev/mtd5 block=/dev/ubi0_0 Artem: amend commentaries and massage the patch a little bit.

UBI: document UBI_IOCVOLUP better in user header The current ioctl define implies that this func expects to be passed a 64bit number directly rather than a pointer to a 64bit. The code that processes this ioctl shows that it clearly expects a pointer. It'd be best if we could change the type to "__s64*", but that would change the generated ioctl number thus breaking the userland ABI. So just add a comment for intrepid developers.
