[PATCHv4] UBI: new module ubiblk: block layer on top of UBI

From: David Wagner <david.wagner at free-electrons.com>
ubiblk is a read-only block layer on top of UBI. It presents UBI volumes as
read-only block devices (named ubiblk_X_Y, where X is the UBI device number
and Y the Volume ID).
It is used by putting a block filesystem image on a UBI volume, creating the
corresponding ubiblk device and then mounting it.
It uses the UBI API to register to UBI notifications and to read from the
volumes. It also creates a ubiblk_ctrl device node that simply receives ioctl
from a userspace tool for creating/removing ubiblk devices.
Some code is taken from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi. Some code for the ioctl part is
also inspired from ubi's core.
Advantages of ubiblk over gluebi+mtdblock_ro:
* Simpler architecture
* The numbering of devices is much easier with ubiblk than with
gluebi+mtdblock_ro. With gluebi+mtdblock_ro, you get one additional MTD
device for each UBI volume, so the number of MTD devices grows quite a lot
and is a bit difficult to understand. For example, mtdblock[0-4] might be
your real MTD partitions, while mtdblock[5-9] might be your UBI volumes.
It also means that if a new real MTD partition is added, the number of all
the MTD devices exposing UBI volumes will be incremented by one, which is a
bit confusing/annoying.
As well, if you add an UBI volume, the mtdblock devices that are emulated on
top of volumes that come after this new one will have their ID incremented.
* ubiblk devices are created on a 'on-demand' basis, which avoids wasting
resources.
* The performance appears to be slightly better with ubiblk than
gluebi+mtdblock_ro, according to our benchmarks (see
http://elinux.org/Flash_Filesystem_Benchmarks_2.6.39)
TODO:
* the modules keeps a table of the devices which length is the maximum number
of UBI volumes. There should be a better solution (linked list or, as
Christoph Hellwig suggests, a radix tree (idr)).

Hi,
changes since v3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a renamed *thread to *req_task
b kerneldoc comments
c fix ubiblk-user.h integration in Kbuild
d use dev_* instead of pr_*
e fix a bug: it was possible to remove a opened device
f use linked lists instead of static table
even if idr provides an address space for minor numbers, we found no way to
use that feature: when we need to get the device from the idr structure, we
only have a ubi_volume_info at hand, so we don't know the minor number. A
solution might be, instead of getting a minor number from idr, to decide of
one (for instance, ubi_num * UBI_MAX_VOLUMES + vol_id, but if they were more
than one UBI device, that would make the idr structure grow needlessly.
Plus, there are few chances that the number of ubiblk devices be high, so
it's probably not worth the pain.
However, if we have time, we may be interessed to see how it could benefit
UBI.
g checkpatch'd (it still complains about an assignment in an if ()), is it
really bad ?
about e), I have a question: it was possible to unmount a mounted filesystem
because ot this. The fix we found was to return -EBUSY if the ubiblk device is
opened. But is it correct to assume that a mounted filesystem will always hold
the device opened ? If not, what is the correct way to impeach the removal of a
ubiblk device when it is "mounted" ?
(see ubiblk_remove(), if (dev->desc))
other questions:
is it ok not to return the error value from the notify function ? I found now
way to return an error value w/o stopping the notifications from being emitted.
there are error messages printed when a ubiblk_remove() is attempted on a
non-existing device - that happens a lot when a UBI device is detached ; should
the messages be debug-only (or even removed) ?
Best regards,
David.

+ Read-only block interface on top of UBI.

+ This option adds ubiblk, which creates a read-ony block device from
+ UBI volumes. It makes it possible to use R/O block filesystems on
+ top of UBI volumes (and hence, on top of MTDs while avoiding bad
+ blocks).

+ ubiblk devices are created by invoking appropriate ioctl to the
