efe1881f54 UBIFS: do not treat ENOSPC specially
'ubifs_garbage_collect_leb()' should never return '-ENOSPC', and if it
does, this is an error. Thus, do not treat this error code specially.
'-EAGAIN' is a special error code, but not '-ENOSPC'.

5ffef88ffe UBIFS: switch to RO mode after synchronizing
In 'ubifs_garbage_collect()' on error path, we first switch to R/O mode, and
then synchronize write-buffers (to make sure no data are lost). But the GC
write-buffer synchronization will fail, because we are already in R/O mode.
This patch re-orders this and makes sure we first synchronize the write-buffer,
and then switch to R/O mode.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

2c761270d5 lib: Introduce generic list_sort function
There are two copies of list_sort() in the tree already, one in the DRM
code, another in ubifs.  Now XFS needs this as well.  Create a generic
list_sort() function from the ubifs version and convert existing users
to it so we don't end up with yet another copy in the tree.

348709bad3 UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlessly
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.

This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

f10770f5e5 UBIFS: fully sort GCed nodes
The 'joinup()' function cannot deal with situations when nodes
go in reverse order - it just leaves them in this order. This
patch implement full nodes sorting using n*log(n) algorithm.
It sorts data nodes for bulk-read, and direntry nodes for
readdir().

e4d9b6cbfc UBIFS: fix LEB list freeing
When freeing the c->idx_lebs list, we have to release the LEBs as well,
because we might be called from mount to read-only mode code. Otherwise
the LEBs stay taken forever, which may cause problems when we re-mount
back ro RW mode.

601c0bc467 UBIFS: allow for racing between GC and TNC
The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes
with non-hashed keys.  This is unsafe because the node may be
moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although
that has never actually happened during stress testing.

This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with
the TNC mutex locked.
