The free space fixup is currently initiated during mount after the call to
ubifs_write_master() which results in a write to PEBs; this has been observed
with the patch 'assert no fixup when writing a node' applied:
Move the free space fixup on mount to before the calls to
ubifs_recover_inl_heads() and ubifs_write_master(). This results in no
assertions with the previously mentioned patch applied.

The current 'mount_ubifs()' implementation does not initialize the LPT until the
the master node is marked dirty. Move the LPT initialization to before marking
the master node dirty. This is a preparation for the next patch which will move
the free-space-fixup check to before marking the master node dirty, because we
have to fix-up the free space before doing any writes.

The current free space fixup can result in some writing to the UBI volume
when the space_fixup flag is set.
To catch instances where UBIFS is writing to the NAND while the space_fixup
flag is set, add an assert to ubifs_write_node().
Artem: tweaked the patch, added similar assertion to the write buffer
write path.

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.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write
failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object.
Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB
if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB.

Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink,
and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible
that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way
UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes:
shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788
This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

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.

Instead of passing "grouped" parameter to 'ubifs_recover_leb()' which tells
whether the nodes are grouped in the LEB to recover, pass the journal head
number and let 'ubifs_recover_leb()' look at the journal head's 'grouped' flag.
This patch is a preparation to a further fix where we'll need to know the
journal head number for other purposes.

Journal heads are different in a way how UBIFS writes nodes there. All normal
journal heads receive grouped nodes, while the GC journal heads receives
ungrouped nodes. This patch adds a 'grouped' flag to 'struct ubifs_jhead' which

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.
This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid

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.

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.

Further simplify 'ubifs_recover_leb()' by noticing that we have to call
'clean_buf()' in any case, and it is fine to call it if the offset is
aligned to 'c->min_io_size'. Thus, we do not have to call it separately
from every "if" - just call it once at the end.

Now when we call 'ubifs_recover_leb()' only for LEBs which are potentially
corrupted (i.e., only for last buds, not for all of them), we can cleanup every
LEB, not only those where we find corruption. The reason - unstable bits. Even
though the LEB may look good now, it might contain unstable bits which may hit
us a bit later.

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.

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.

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.

This patch simplifies replay even further - it removes the replay tree and
adds the replay list instead. Indeed, we just do not need to use a tree here -
all we need to do is to add all nodes to the list and then sort it. Using
RB-tree is an overkill - more code and slower. And since we replay buds in
order, we expect the nodes to follow in _mostly_ sorted order, so the merge
sort becomes much cheaper in average than an RB-tree.

This patch simplifies the replay code and makes it smaller. First of all, we
can notice that we do not really need to create bud replay entries and insert
them to the replay tree, because the only reason we do this is to set buds
lprops correctly at the end. Instead, we can just walk the list of buds at the
very end and set lprops for each bud. This allows us to get rid of whole
'insert_ref_node()' function, the 'REPLAY_REF' flag, and several fields in
'struct replay_entry'. Then we can also notice that we do not need the 'flags'
'struct replay_entry' field, because there is only one flag -
'REPLAY_DELETION'. Instead, we can just add a 'deletion' bit fields. As a
result, this patch deletes much more lines that in adds.

Commit 52c6e6f990669deac3f370f1603815adb55a1dbd provides misleading infomation
in the commit messages - buds are replied in order. And the real reason why

mode (so deferred recovery will have seeked heads).

This patch fixes a problem with the following symptoms:
UBIFS: deferred recovery completed
UBIFS error (pid 15676): dbg_check_synced_i_size: ui_size is 11481088, synced_i_size is 11459081, but inode is clean
UBIFS error (pid 15676): dbg_check_synced_i_size: i_ino 128, i_mode 0x81a4, i_size 11481088
It happens when additional debugging checks are enabled and we are recovering
from a power cut. When we fixup corrupted inode size during recovery, we change
them in-place and we change ui_size as well, but not synced_i_size, which
causes this failure. This patch makes sure we change both fields and fixes the
issue.

When the debugging self-checks are enabled, we go trough whole file-system
after mount and check/validate every single node referred to by the index.
This is implemented by the 'dbg_check_filesystem()' function. However, this
function fails if we mount "unclean" file-system, i.e., if we mount the
file-system after a power cut. It fails with the following symptoms:
UBIFS DBG (pid 8171): ubifs_recover_size: ino 937 size 3309925 -> 3317760
UBIFS: recovery deferred
UBIFS error (pid 8171): check_leaf: data node at LEB 1000:0 is not within inode size 3309925
The reason of failure is that recovery fixed up the inode size in memory, but
not on the flash so far. So the value on the flash is incorrect so far,
and would be corrected when we re-mount R/W. But 'check_leaf()' ignores
this fact and tries to validate the size of the on-flash inode, which is
incorrect, so it fails.
This patch teaches the checking code to look at the VFS inode cache first,
and if there is the inode in question, use that inode instead of the inode
on the flash media. This fixes the issue.

When UBIFS is in the failure mode (used for power cut emulation testing) we for
some reasons do not dump the stack in many places, e.g., in assertions.
Probably at early days we had too many of them and disabled this to make the
development easier, but then never enabled. Nowadays I sometimes observe
assertion failures during power cut testing, but the useful stackdump is not
printed, which is bad. This patch makes UBIFS always print the stackdump when
debugging is enabled.
