| * ubi: fastmap: Add fastmap control support for 'UBI_IOCATT' ioctlZhihao Cheng2022-09-211-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [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].

* | mtdchar: add MEMREAD ioctlMichał Kępień2022-09-211-5/+59
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | User-space applications making use of MTD devices via /dev/mtd* character devices currently have limited capabilities for reading data: - only deprecated methods of accessing OOB layout information exist, - there is no way to explicitly specify MTD operation mode to use; it is auto-selected based on the MTD file mode (MTD_FILE_MODE_*) set for the character device; in particular, this prevents using MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB for reads, - all existing user-space interfaces which cause mtd_read() or mtd_read_oob() to be called (via mtdchar_read() and mtdchar_read_oob(), respectively) return success even when those functions return -EUCLEAN or -EBADMSG; this renders user-space applications using these interfaces unaware of any corrected bitflips or uncorrectable ECC errors detected during reads. Note that the existing MEMWRITE ioctl allows the MTD operation mode to be explicitly set, allowing user-space applications to write page data and OOB data without requiring them to know anything about the OOB layout of the MTD device they are writing to (MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB). Also, the MEMWRITE ioctl does not mangle the return value of mtd_write_oob(). Add a new ioctl, MEMREAD, which addresses the above issues. It is intended to be a read-side counterpart of the existing MEMWRITE ioctl. Similarly to the latter, the read operation is performed in a loop which processes at most mtd->erasesize bytes in each iteration. This is done to prevent unbounded memory allocations caused by calling kmalloc() with the 'size' argument taken directly from the struct mtd_read_req provided by user space. However, the new ioctl is implemented so that the values it returns match those that would have been returned if just a single mtd_read_oob() call was issued to handle the entire read operation in one go. Note that while just returning -EUCLEAN or -EBADMSG to user space would already be a valid and useful indication of the ECC algorithm detecting errors during a read operation, that signal would not be granular enough to cover all use cases. For example, knowing the maximum number of bitflips detected in a single ECC step during a read operation performed on a given page may be useful when dealing with an MTD partition whose ECC layout varies across pages (e.g. a partition consisting of a bootloader area using a "custom" ECC layout followed by data pages using a "standard" ECC layout). To address that, include ECC statistics in the structure returned to user space by the new MEMREAD ioctl.

* mtdchar: prevent integer overflow in a safety checkMichał Kępień2022-06-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6420ac0af95d ("mtdchar: prevent unbounded allocation in MEMWRITE ioctl") added a safety check to mtdchar_write_ioctl() which attempts to ensure that the write request sent by user space does not extend beyond the MTD device's size. However, that check contains an addition of two struct mtd_write_req fields, 'start' and 'len', both of which are u64 variables. The result of that addition can overflow, allowing the safety check to be bypassed. The arguably simplest fix - changing the data types of the relevant struct mtd_write_req fields - is not feasible as it would break user space. Fix by making mtdchar_write_ioctl() truncate the value provided by user space in the 'len' field of struct mtd_write_req, so that only the lower 32 bits of that field are used, preventing the overflow. While the 'ooblen' field of struct mtd_write_req is not currently used in any similarly flawed safety check, also truncate it to 32 bits, for consistency with the 'len' field and with other MTD routines handling OOB data. Update include/uapi/mtd/mtd-abi.h accordingly.

* ubi: expose the volume CRC check skip flagQuentin Schulz2018-08-151-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-024-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
