Subject: MTD : Kernel oops when remounting ubifs as read/write

I'm encountering an oops when remounting my ubifs volume as read/write.

# mount -o remount,rw /

If it's any help, if the remount is put into my inittab, I don't get any oops.

I've attached my full dmesg log below.

Yes ... this is on a custom AM335x board, where the ubi image must be created
with the "-F" flag.

Am I right that to reproduce it I need any image with the 'fixup' flag
set, then I should put it on the flash, mount it R/O and then remount
R/W. Right?

OK, I've reproduced the issue with 3.9-rc2 in nandsim, see the details
below. The patch I proposed did not get the error path correctly, but it
does fix the issue.

I think what you treat as "lockup" is the fixup process. UBIFS basically
reads the entire UBI volume and writes it back. And it uses the atomic
change UBI service, which means it also calculates CRC of everything it
writes. And this all just takes a lot of time. This has to be done only
once on the first mount.

I've attached the following:

1. The patch which fixes the issue when I use nandsim. It is also
inlined in the end. Please, give it a try and be more patient -
wait longer. Please, do report your results back.
2. 'reproduce.sh' - a quick and dirty shell script which reproduces the
problem
3. ubinize.cfg - is needed for 'reproduce.sh'.


Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: make space fixup work in the remount case

The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken"
flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the
result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty
NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave
side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty
pages.

The fix-up feature works roughly like this:
1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image
(see -F option)
2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup
flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot
of time.
3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock.

This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time.
But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O,
and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too
late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it
starts being used.

Okay ... I've retried, but how long is "a lot of time" ?

I've waited 15 minutes and still nothing.

And I can see that there's no activity on the NAND chip select !?!

I'll put some debug info into the fixup routines to see if I can trace what's going on.

Just to make sure - try this last patch I sent. I did test it with
nandsim at least, and I am sure it works. I did not test at all the
first one.

And yes, debug messages would be useful, just do not forget to add the
'ignore_loglevel' kernel boot option, otherwise you won't see the
messages on your console, since they are of KERN_DEBUG level.

You may have other issues which cause lockup, e.g., in driver level. It
makes sense to validate your flash with MTD test modules.

My first initial findings ...

I added some simple printk(KERN_INFO) lines to fixup_free_space(), and when
I remount, it gets as far as:-

printk(KERN_INFO "ffs 7\n");
/* Fixup LEBs in the main area */
for (lnum = c->main_first; lnum < c->leb_cnt; lnum++) {
lprops = ubifs_lpt_lookup(c, lnum);
if (IS_ERR(lprops)) {
err = PTR_ERR(lprops);
goto out;
}

if (lprops->free > 0) {
err = fixup_leb(c, lnum, c->leb_size - lprops->free);
if (err)
goto out;
}
}

out:
printk(KERN_INFO "ffs x\n");
ubifs_release_lprops(c);
return err;
}

... before we get an oops with crc32_le(). See the full log below.

I'll keep digging ...

OK, this is an independent problem which, as I think, has nothing to do
with the first one.

I do not know why crc32 oopses on your system. You need to investigate
this. I believe this is not UBI/UBIFS's fault.

One theory could be that UBI uses vmalloc'ed buffers for the atomic
update operation, and submits the buffer to the MTD layer for the I/O.
If your NAND driver is trying to DMA this memory, you may be in trouble,
because vmalloced memory is often not DMA-able on many systems,
especially ARM systems which do not have coherent cache support.

Hmmm ... bit stuck then !?!

I've added some debug in ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change(), to simply show the values being passed to
crc32(), and the crc is being called several times with the same buff memory pointer and a size
of 2048 bytes.

But there's also a call to crc with a size of 122880 bytes, and that's when the oops occurs.

Is this size larger than the allocated buffer ?

I believe so.

Err, I mean, the buffer is large enough. I do not believe there is a
stupid bug like too small buffer. This code has worked for years and I
do not think it was changes much.

The oops may be cause by memory corruption - some of your drivers may
corrupt memory. You need to spend more time debugging this carefully.

Do you have fastmap UBI feature enabled?

Unless I test in finer increments, in which case it seems to work !?!

No idea what is wrong with the CRC funtions, you may try older kernels
and if you fine a working one, you may try to bisect.

Subject: AM335x crc32 oops ?

Apologies for the long email ...

Following on from another thread, I have encountered an issue with crc32 within
the mtd system, seemingly only on my AM335x cpu board.

In function ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change() in drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c, there is a call
to crc32.

During a remount of my ubifs volume, ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change() is called several
times, with crc32 happening at various points.

Most of the time, the crc length is 2048 bytes, but when a large crc is required
(in my case 122880 bytes), I get an oops.

[ 27.550760] UBIFS: background thread "ubifs_bgt0_0" started, PID 660

So it seems time related (??) in that if I do more testing before checking the full 122880
byte buffer, the crc works.

But if the buffer gets crc-ed too quickly, I get an oops.

Does anyone have *any* idea what's going on ?
