This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks
on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.
This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which
includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which
includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are
relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

During scanning UBI allocates one struct ubi_scan_leb object for each PEB,
so it can end up allocating thousands of them. Use slab cache to reduce
memory consumption for these 48-byte objects, because currently used
'kmalloc()' ends up allocating 64 bytes per object, instead of 48.

My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug.
We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if
1. EC header is OK.
2. VID header is corrupted.
3. data area is not "all 0xFFs"
In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates
the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID
header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have
invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC
header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions,
and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print
scary warnings, wrongly.
This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then
invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still
just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully.
Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> for tracking this down.

While scanning the flash we read all VID headers and store some important
information in 'struct ubi_scan_leb'. Store also the 'copy_flag' value there
as it is needed when comparing LEBs. We do not increase memory consumption

'struct ubi_scan_leb' (sizeof(struct ubi_scan_leb) is 48 both with and

Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature
of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption.
The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy
potentially important data.
With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID
header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is
safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may
be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead,
UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB.
IOW, UBI preserves this PEB.
Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them
we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power
cut corrupted PEBs is 8.
This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter
(Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points
to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got
corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches)
tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier
to analyze the corruption.

Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted,
which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the
corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes.
At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these
PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI
preserving them.
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning:
1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased
2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased
But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after
scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs
which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add
them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of
corruption ASAP.
However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because
the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to
put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused
by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid
killing potentially valuable user data.
This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to
the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation.

Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit

Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only
0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or
not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list,
even though there were bit-flips.
Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a
power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get
a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This
patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.

The 'UBI_IO_PEB_EMPTY' and 'UBI_IO_PEB_FREE' are essentially the same

Commit 0798cea8c2 "UBI: improve corrupted flash handling"
broke delet-compatible volumes handling - it introduced a limit of 8 eraseblocks which
may be corrupted. And delete-compatible eraseblocks are added to the "corrupted" list,
so if we'd have a large delete-compatible volume, UBI would refuse it.
The fix is to add delete-compatible volumes to the erase list instead. Indeed, they are
corrupted, we just have to erase them.
