From 332873d60b943c9bf53957c6e334038ac5e9dc6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 17:09:40 +0200 Subject: UBI: allocate erase checking buffer on demand Instead of using pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer in 'ubi_dbg_check_all_ff()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' buffer completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e., we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig option, which would mean that 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated, which would be wasteful. Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi->dbg_peb_buf', and this is a preparation for that. signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy --- drivers/mtd/ubi/io.c | 19 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers') diff --git a/drivers/mtd/ubi/io.c b/drivers/mtd/ubi/io.c index b4d34ba60608..35da5aadbe10 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/ubi/io.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/ubi/io.c @@ -1387,35 +1387,40 @@ int ubi_dbg_check_all_ff(struct ubi_device *ubi, int pnum, int offset, int len) { size_t read; int err; + void *buf; loff_t addr = (loff_t)pnum * ubi->peb_size + offset; - mutex_lock(&ubi->dbg_buf_mutex); - err = ubi->mtd->read(ubi->mtd, addr, len, &read, ubi->dbg_peb_buf); + buf = __vmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFS, PAGE_KERNEL); + if (!buf) { + ubi_err("cannot allocate memory to check for 0xFFs"); + return 0; + } + + err = ubi->mtd->read(ubi->mtd, addr, len, &read, buf); if (err && err != -EUCLEAN) { ubi_err("error %d while reading %d bytes from PEB %d:%d, " "read %zd bytes", err, len, pnum, offset, read); goto error; } - err = ubi_check_pattern(ubi->dbg_peb_buf, 0xFF, len); + err = ubi_check_pattern(buf, 0xFF, len); if (err == 0) { ubi_err("flash region at PEB %d:%d, length %d does not " "contain all 0xFF bytes", pnum, offset, len); goto fail; } - mutex_unlock(&ubi->dbg_buf_mutex); + vfree(buf); return 0; fail: ubi_err("paranoid check failed for PEB %d", pnum); ubi_msg("hex dump of the %d-%d region", offset, offset + len); - print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, "", DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, 32, 1, - ubi->dbg_peb_buf, len, 1); + print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, "", DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, 32, 1, buf, len, 1); err = -EINVAL; error: ubi_dbg_dump_stack(); - mutex_unlock(&ubi->dbg_buf_mutex); + vfree(buf); return err; } -- cgit v1.2.3
