ed73919124 mtd/ubi/block: add error handling support for add_disk()
We never checked for errors on add_disk() as this function
returned void. Now that this is fixed, use the shiny new
error handling.

be076fdf83 ubifs: fix snprintf() checking
The snprintf() function returns the number of characters (not
counting the NUL terminator) that it would have printed if we
had space.

This buffer has UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN characters plus one extra for
the terminator.  Printing UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN is okay but anything
higher will result in truncation.  Thus the comparison needs to be
change from == to >.

These strings are compile time constants so this patch doesn't
affect runtime.

f669e74be8 ubi: Do not zero out EC and VID on ECC-ed NOR flashes
For NOR flashes EC and VID are zeroed out before an erase is issued to
make sure UBI does not mistakenly treat the PEB as used and associate it
with an LEB.

But on some flashes, like the Cypress Semper S28 SPI NOR flash family,
multi-pass page programming is not allowed on the default ECC scheme.
This means zeroing out these magic numbers will result in the flash
throwing a page programming error.

Do not zero out EC and VID for such flashes. A writesize > 1 is an
indication of an ECC-ed flash.

d005f8c658 ubi: check kthread_should_stop() after the setting of task state
A detach hung is possible when a race occurs between the detach process
and the ubi background thread. The following sequences outline the race:

  ubi thread: if (list_empty(&ubi->works)...

  ubi detach: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags)
              => by kthread_stop()
              wake_up_process()
              => ubi thread is still running, so 0 is returned

  ubi thread: set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
              schedule()
              => ubi thread will never be scheduled again

  ubi detach: wait_for_completion()
              => hung task!

To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set the
task state, so the ubi thread will either see the stop bit and exit or
the task state is reset to runnable such that it isn't scheduled out
indefinitely.

3f649ab728 treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

4b68bf9a69 ubi: Select fastmap anchor PEBs considering wear level rules
There is a risk that the fastmap anchor PEB is alternating between
just two PEBs, the current anchor and the previous anchor that was just
deleted. As the fastmap pools gets the first take on free PEBs, the
pools may leave no free PEBs to be selected as the new anchor,
resulting in the two PEBs alternating behaviour. If the anchor PEBs gets
a high erase count the PEBs will not be used by the pools but remain in
ubi->free, even more increasing the likelihood they will be used as
anchors.

Getting stuck using only a couple of PEBs continuously will result in an
uneven wear, eventually leading to failure.

To fix this:

- Choose the fastmap anchor when the most free PEBs are available. This is
  during rebuilding of the fastmap pools, after the unused pool PEBs are
  added to ubi->free but before the pools are populated again from the
  free PEBs. Also reserve an additional second best PEB as a candidate
  for the next time the fast map anchor is updated. If a better PEB is
  found the next time the fast map anchor is updated, the candidate is
  made available for building the pools.

- Enable anchor move within the anchor area again as it is useful for
  distributing wear.

- The anchor candidate for the next fastmap update is the most suited free
  PEB. Check this PEB's erase count during wear leveling. If the wear
  leveling limit is exceeded, the PEB is considered unsuitable for now. As
  all other non used anchor area PEBs should be even worse, free up the
  used anchor area PEB with the lowest erase count.
