[BUG?] ubi.fm_autoconvert=1 on first boot

Fri Nov 25 03:34:12 PST 2016

Hi!

I'm trying to use ubi.fm_autoconvert=1 with the current (v4.9-rc6) mainline kernel.
I have the following setup:

- kernel commandline:
	(...) root=ubi0:root ubi.mtd=nand0.root1 ubi.mtd=nand0.data rootfstype=ubifs rw ubi.fm_autoconvert=1
	mtdparts=gpmi-nand:(...),6M(nand0.kernel1),6M(nand0.kernel2),68M(nand0.root1),68M(nand0.root2),-(nand0.data)

- root1 partition: (is not empty when flashed)

	mtdinfo /dev/mtd6
	mtd6
	Name:                           nand0.root1
	Type:                           nand
	Eraseblock size:                131072 bytes, 128.0 KiB
	Amount of eraseblocks:          544 (71303168 bytes, 68.0 MiB)
	Minimum input/output unit size: 2048 bytes
	Sub-page size:                  2048 bytes
	OOB size:                       64 bytes
	Character device major/minor:   90:12
	Bad blocks are allowed:         true
	Device is writable:             true

- data partition: (is empty when flashed)

	mtdinfo /dev/mtd8
	mtd8
	Name:                           nand0.data
	Type:                           nand
	Eraseblock size:                131072 bytes, 128.0 KiB
	Amount of eraseblocks:          846 (110886912 bytes, 105.8 MiB)
	Minimum input/output unit size: 2048 bytes
	Sub-page size:                  2048 bytes
	OOB size:                       64 bytes
	Character device major/minor:   90:16
	Bad blocks are allowed:         true
	Device is writable:             true

As you can see mtd8 can not be autoresized and attached.
What works however is: booting first with ubi.fm_autoconvert=0 and then enabling
it on the second boot.

Am I holding it wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Steffen Trumtrar
