[PATCH v4 0/8] mtd: ubi: allow UBI volumes to provide NVMEM

[PATCH v4 0/8] mtd: ubi: allow UBI volumes to provide NVMEM

[Daniel Golle]

The series is a follow-up and contains all patches of the previous
series "mtd: ubi: behave like a good MTD citizen"[1] which was meant in
preparation for implementing the NVMEM provider.

The goal is to support embedded Linux devices which got NVMEM bits
stored inside a UBI volume. Representing the UBI volume in the Device
Tree, adding a phandle to be referenced by NVMEM consumers allows such
devices to come up with their correct MAC addresses and device-specific
Wi-Fi calibration data loaded.

In order to be available for other drivers, attaching UBI devices has
to be moved from late_initcall (which is too late for other drivers) to
happen earlier. As an alternative to the existing kernel cmdline
parameter the Device Tree property 'compatible = "linux,ubi";' inside
an MTD partition can be used to have that MTD device attached as UBI
device. MTD partitions which serve as UBI devices may have a "volumes"
firmware subnode with volumes which may be compatible with
"nvmem-cells".

In this way, other drivers (think: Ethernet, Wi-Fi) can resolve and
acquire NVMEM bits using the usual device tree phandle, just this time
the NVMEM content is read from a UBI volume.

[PATCH v4 3/8] mtd: ubi: block: don't return on error when removing

[Daniel Golle]

There is no point on returning the error from ubiblock_remove in case
it is being called due to a volume removal event -- the volume is gone,
we should destroy and remove the ubiblock device no matter what.

Introduce new boolean parameter 'force' to tell ubiblock_remove to go
on even in case the ubiblock device is still busy. Use that new option
when calling ubiblock_remove due to a UBI_VOLUME_REMOVED event.

[PATCH v4 4/8] mtd: ubi: block: use notifier to create ubiblock

[Daniel Golle]

Use UBI_VOLUME_ADDED notification to create ubiblock device specified
on kernel cmdline or module parameter.
This makes thing more simple and has the advantage that ubiblock devices
on volumes which are not present at the time the ubi module is probed
will still be created.

[PATCH v4 5/8] mtd: ubi: attach MTD partition from device-tree

[Daniel Golle]

Split ubi_init() function into early function to be called by
device_initcall() and keep cmdline attachment in late_initcall().
(when building ubi as module, both is still done in a single
module_init() call)

Register MTD notifier and attach MTD devices which are marked as
compatible with 'linux,ubi' in OF device-tree when being added, detach
UBI device from MTD device when it is being removed.

For existing users this should not change anything besides automatic
removal of (dead) UBI devices when their underlying MTD devices are
already gone, e.g. in case of MTD driver module or (SPI) bus driver
module being removed.

For new users this opens up the option to attach UBI using device-tree
which then happens early and in parallel with other drivers being
probed which slightly reduces the total boot time.

Attachment no longer happening late is also a requirement for other
drivers to make use of UBI, e.g. drivers/nvmem/u-boot-env.c can now
be extended to support U-Boot environment stored in UBI volumes.

[PATCH v4 6/8] mtd: ubi: introduce pre-removal notification for UBI volumes

[Daniel Golle]

Introduce a new notification type UBI_VOLUME_SHUTDOWN to inform users
that a volume is just about to be removed.
This is needed because users (such as the NVMEM subsystem) expect that
at the time their removal function is called, the parenting device is
still available (for removal of sysfs nodes, for example, in case of
NVMEM which otherwise WARNs on volume removal).

[PATCH v4 7/8] mtd: ubi: populate ubi volume fwnode

[Daniel Golle]

Look for the 'volumes' subnode of an MTD partition attached to a UBI
device and attach matching child nodes to UBI volumes.
This allows UBI volumes to be referenced in device tree, e.g. for use
as NVMEM providers.

[PATCH v4 8/8] mtd: ubi: provide NVMEM layer over UBI volumes

[Daniel Golle]

In an ideal world we would like UBI to be used where ever possible on a
NAND chip. And with UBI support in ARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot it
is possible to achieve an (almost-)all-UBI flash layout. Hence the need
for a way to also use UBI volumes to store board-level constants, such
as MAC addresses and calibration data of wireless interfaces.

Add UBI volume NVMEM driver module exposing UBI volumes as NVMEM
providers. Allow UBI devices to have a "volumes" firmware subnode with
volumes which may be compatible with "nvmem-cells".
Access to UBI volumes via the NVMEM interface at this point is
read-only, and it is slow, opening and closing the UBI volume for each
access due to limitations of the NVMEM provider API.

Patch 3 - 7 have previously been discussed on the mailing list, patch
1 and 2 have been reviewed by Rob, patch 8 ("mtd: ubi: provide NVMEM
layer over UBI volumes") still needs review.

Is there anything I can do from my end to have this series moving
forward?

You could review other UBI submissions to reduce the review load on

Is it really safe to destroy the blk queue (via ubiblock_cleanup()) if refcnt is > 0?

This is more or less an open coded ubi_open_volume_path().
Please either split or adopt ubi_open_volume_path() to fit your use case.

The usage of mutex_lock_nested() in this patch looks fishy.
Can you please elaborate a bit more why all these mutexes can be taken twice?
(Any why not more often).

I think I figured myself.
ubiblock_ops->open() and ->release() are both called with disk->open_mutex held.
ubiblock_open() and ubiblock_release() take dev->dev_mutex.
So, the locking order is open_mutex, followed by dev_mutex.

On the other hand, ubiblock_remove() is called via UBI notify.
It takes first dev_mutex and then calls del_gendisk() which will trigger ubiblock_ops->release()
under disk->open_mutex but takes dev_mutex again.
So, we this not only takes a lock twice but also in reverse order.
mutex_lock_nested() might silence lockdep but I'm not sure whether this is safe at all.

I agree that the locking here is not trivial.
Taking the same lock twice is that SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING is intended
for and resolves running into a deadlock otherwise.
I'm not sure if the changed order of acquiring dev_mutex and open_mutex
present a problem.

The detach-by-notification case is anyway quite exotic and I only see
quite synthetic paths to actually get there (such as hotplug removal
of the SPI controller providing access to SPI-NAND flash, which is how
I was testing this...). To make things easier and more aligned with
the original goal (being to attach a UBI device from DT, early enough
to allow its use as NVMEM provider by other drivers) I suggest to for
now only handle attachment by MTD notification (if linux,ubi compatible
is present in DT) and keep handling detachment the way it is now.

This will (just like it is already now) result in "zombie" UBI devices
being present after their MTD device has already been removed. Accessing
them creates loud kernel warnings at best.

Let me know if keeing detachment the way it is and only implementing
attaching from MTD notification and device tree compatible would be ok
with you.

Thank you!


Best regards


Daniel
