Hi,
This is next iteration ; the read errors issue with FS that do large requests
has been fixed (it means that all block filesystems should now work) ; the
'resized' callback is implemented.
The reuse of code from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi is now mentionned is the file
header.
The use of a kernel thread is also justified (line 353).
The Kconfig has also been fixed.
I also tested compiling ubiblk statically into the kernel ; it worked and I was
able to mount a squashfs ubiblk device as root with, for instance:
"ubi.mtd=1 root=/dev/ubiblk0_0"
Performances still haven't been tested, though.
Thanks to those for review it !
David.
PS: I included the commit message+diff in the same mail as the introduction for
convenience ; tell me if it annoys you - I'll split the next iterations as I did
for the first one.
ubiblk is a read-only block layer on top of UBI. It presents UBI volumes as
read-only block devices.
It is used by putting a block filesystem image on a UBI volume and then mounting
the corresponding device.
It uses the UBI API to register to UBI notifications (to dynamically create and
delete devices as volumes are added or removed) and to read from the volumes.
Known issues:
* the modules keeps a table of the devices which length is the maximum number
of UBI volumes. It should make use of a linked list.
Some code is taken from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi

+ Read-only block interface on top of UBI.
+
+ This option adds ubiblk, which creates a read-ony block device for
+ each UBI volume. It makes it possible to use block filesystems on
+ top of UBI (and thus, on top of MTDs while avoiding bad blocks).
+
+ The devices are named ubiblkX_Y where X is the UBI number and Y is
+ the Volume ID.
