2010-08-30UBIFS: mark unused key objects as invalidArtem Bityutskiy1-1/+4
When scanning the flash, UBIFS builds a list of flash nodes of type 'struct ubifs_scan_node'. Each scanned node has a 'snod->key' field. This field is valid for most of the nodes, but invalid for some node type, e.g., truncation nodes. It is safer to explicitly initialize such keys to something invalid, rather than leaving them initialized to all zeros, which has key type of UBIFS_INO_KEY. This patch introduces new "fake" key type UBIFS_INVALID_KEY and initializes unused 'snod->key' objects to this type. It also adds debugging assertions in the TNC code to make sure no one ever tries to look these nodes up in the TNC. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-08-30UBIFS: do not write rubbish into truncation scanning nodeArtem Bityutskiy1-1/+0
In the scanning code, in 'ubifs_add_snod()', we write rubbish into 'snod->key', because we assume that on-flash truncation nodes have a key, but they do not. If the other parts of UBIFS then mistakenly try to look-up the truncation node key (they should not do this, but may do because of a bug), we can succeed and corrupt TNC. It looks like we did have such a situation in 'sort_nodes()' in gc.c. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-09-10UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlesslyArtem Bityutskiy1-10/+22
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers just fine and goes on. This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()' not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

2009-07-09UBIFS: small amendments in the LEB scanning codeArtem Bityutskiy1-5/+9
This patch fixes few minor things I've spotted while going through code: 1. Better document return codes 2. If 'ubifs_scan_a_node()' returns some thing we do not expect, treat this as an error. 3. Try to do recovery only when 'ubifs_scan()' returns %-EUCLEAN, not on any error. 4. If empty space starts at a non-aligned address, print a message.

2009-07-09UBIFS: dump a little more in case of corruptionsArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+3
In case of corruptions, dump 8192 bytes instead of 4096. The largest node is 4096+ bytes, so it is better to see a node boundary, which is not always possible when only 4096 bytes are printed.

2008-09-30UBIFS: add no_chk_data_crc mount optionAdrian Hunter1-1/+1
UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable. Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata. Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.
