2012-10-26UBIFS: fix mounting problems after power cutsArtem Bityutskiy
This is a bugfix for a problem with the following symptoms: 1. A power cut happens 2. After reboot, we try to mount UBIFS 3. Mount fails with "No space left on device" error message UBIFS complains like this: UBIFS error (pid 28225): grab_empty_leb: could not find an empty LEB The root cause of this problem is that when we mount, not all LEBs are categorized. Only those which were read are. However, the 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' function assumes that all LEBs were categorized and 'c->freeable_cnt' is valid, which is a false assumption. This patch fixes the problem by teaching 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' to always fall back to LPT scanning if no freeable LEBs were found. This problem was reported by few people in the past, but Brent Taylor was able to reproduce it and send me a flash image which cannot be mounted, which made it easy to hunt the bug. Kudos to Brent.

2012-06-18UBIFS: fix assertionDan Carpenter
The asserts here never check anything because it uses '|' instead of '&'. Now if the flags are not set it prints a warning a a stack trace. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
2011-05-13UBIFS: introduce a separate structure for budgeting infoArtem Bityutskiy
This patch separates out all the budgeting-related information from 'struct ubifs_info' to 'struct ubifs_budg_info'. This way the code looks a bit cleaner. However, the main driver for this is that we want to save budgeting information and print it later, so a separate data structure for this is helpful. This patch is a preparation for the further debugging output improvements. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2009-03-08UBIFS: improve find function interfaceArtem Bityutskiy
Make 'ubifs_find_free_space()' return offset where free space starts, rather than the amount of free space. This is just more appropriat for its caller. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

IS_ERR() macro already has unlikely(), so do not use constructions like 'if (unlikely(IS_ERR())'. Signed-off-by: Hirofumi Nakagawa <hnakagawa@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2008-09-17UBIFS: remove incorrect assertAdrian Hunter
The assert was not valid because one of the variables 'taken_empty_lebs' has transient values out of sync with the other variables. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-08-31UBIFS: fix assertionArtem Bityutskiy
The assertion was incorrect, because it did not take into account free space. This patch also amends the comments correspondingly, and cleans them up a little. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-08-13UBIFS: reserve more space for indexArtem Bityutskiy
At the moment UBIFS reserves twice old index size space for the index. But this is not enough in some cases, because if the indexing node are very fragmented and there are many small gaps, while the dirty index has big znodes - in-the-gaps method would fail. Thus, reserve trise as more, in which case we are guaranteed that we can commit in any case. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
