The current ubi.mtd parsing logic will warn & continue on when attaching
the specified mtd device fails (for any reason). It doesn't however skip
things when the specified mtd device can't be opened.
This scenario can be hit in a couple of different ways such as:
- build NAND controller driver as a module
- build UBI into the kernel
- include ubi.mtd on the kernel command line
- boot the system
- MTD devices don't exist, so UBI init fails
This is problematic because failing init means the entire UBI layer is
unavailable until you reboot and modify the kernel command line. If
we just warn and continue on, /dev/ubi_ctrl is available for userland
to add UBI volumes on the fly once it loads the NAND driver.

Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address UBI's slow scanning
issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash data-structure called "fastmap",
which stores the information about logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings.
So now to get this information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full
scan. More information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not respond
quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had good testing and
disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default. We
did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason for this is
that no one used it in real production so far, so there is a high risk that
something is missing. Besides, we do not have user-space tools supporting
fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's scanning
bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should accelerate its production
use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove, somewhat clean-up, and make it the
default for UBI. I do not know how many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did for
btrfs few years ago.

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"
A note for stable trees:
Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.
Changing names like this should help:

2. aeb_slab_cache -> seb_slab_cache

the UBI_IOCATT ioctl.

This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device.
The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
Now, we can adjust that via a kernel parameter:
ubi.mtd=<name|num|path>[,<vid_hdr_offs>[,max_beb_per1024]]

max_beb_per1024 shouldn't be negative, and a 0 value will be treated as
the default value. For the upper bound, 768/1024 should be enough.

On NAND flash devices, UBI reserves some physical erase blocks (PEB) for
bad block handling. Today, the number of reserved PEB can only be set as a
percentage of the total number of PEB in each MTD partition. For example, for a
NAND flash with 128KiB PEB, 2 MTD partition of 20MiB (mtd0) and 100MiB (mtd1)
and 2% reserved PEB:
- the UBI device on mtd0 will have 2 PEB reserved
- the UBI device on mtd1 will have 16 PEB reserved
The problem with this behaviour is that NAND flash manufacturers give a
minimum number of valid block (NVB) during the endurance life of the
device, e.g.:
Parameter Symbol Min Max Unit Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Valid block number NVB 1004 1024 Blocks 1
From this number we can deduce the maximum number of bad PEB that a device will
contain during its endurance life: a 128MiB NAND flash (1024 PEB) will not have
less than 20 bad blocks during the flash endurance life.
But the manufacturer doesn't tell where those bad block will appear. He doesn't
say either if they will be equally disposed on the whole device (and I'm pretty
sure they won't). So, according to the datasheets, we should reserve the
maximum number of bad PEB for each UBI device (worst case scenario: 20 bad
blocks appears on the smallest MTD partition).
So this patch make UBI use the whole MTD device size to calculate the maximum
bad expected eraseblocks.
The Kconfig option is in per1024 blocks, thus it can have a default value of 20
which is *very* common for NAND devices.

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE and MIN_RESEVED_PEBS are no longer used,
since the amount of reserved eraseblocks for bad PEB handling is now
derived from 'ubi->bad_peb_limit' (ubi's maximum expected bad
eraseblocks).

The existing mechanism of reserving PEBs for bad PEB handling has two
flaws:
- It is calculated as a percentage of good PEBs instead of total PEBs.
- There's no limit on the amount of PEBs UBI reserves for future bad
eraseblock handling.
This patch changes the mechanism to overcome these flaws.
The desired level of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling (beb_rsvd_level)
is set to the maximum expected bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_limit) minus the
existing number of bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_count).
The actual amount of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling is usually set
to the desired level (but in some circumstances may be lower than the
desired level, e.g. when attaching to a device that has too few
available PEBs to satisfy the desired level).
In the case where the device has too many bad PEBs (above the expected
limit), then the desired level, and the actual amount of PEBs reserved
are set to zero. No PEBs will be set aside for future bad eraseblock
handling - even if some PEBs are made available (e.g. by shrinking a
volume).
If another PEB goes bad, and there are available PEBs, then the
eraseblock will be marked bad (consuming one available PEB). But if
there are no available PEBs, ubi will go into readonly mode.

Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
UBI expects to go bad. Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage
of total PEBs in the UBI device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).
The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of PEBs
UBI needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.
Artem: minor amendments.
