/*
 * UBI attaching sub-system.
 *
 * This sub-system is responsible for attaching MTD devices and it also
 * implements flash media scanning.
 *
 * The attaching information is represented by a &struct ubi_attach_info'
 * object. Information about volumes is represented by &struct ubi_ainf_volume
 * objects which are kept in volume RB-tree with root at the @volumes field.
 * The RB-tree is indexed by the volume ID.
 *
 * Logical eraseblocks are represented by &struct ubi_ainf_peb objects. These
 * objects are kept in per-volume RB-trees with the root at the corresponding
 * &struct ubi_ainf_volume object. To put it differently, we keep an RB-tree of
 * per-volume objects and each of these objects is the root of RB-tree of
 * per-LEB objects.
 *
 * Corrupted physical eraseblocks are put to the @corr list, free physical
 * eraseblocks are put to the @free list and the physical eraseblock to be
 * erased are put to the @erase list.
 *
 * About corruptions
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 *
 * UBI protects EC and VID headers with CRC-32 checksums, so it can detect
 * whether the headers are corrupted or not. Sometimes UBI also protects the
 * data with CRC-32, e.g., when it executes the atomic LEB change operation, or
 * when it moves the contents of a PEB for wear-leveling purposes.
 *
 * UBI tries to distinguish between 2 types of corruptions.
 *
 * 1. Corruptions caused by power cuts. These are expected corruptions and UBI
 * tries to handle them gracefully, without printing too many warnings and
 * error messages. The idea is that we do not lose important data in these
 * cases - we may lose only the data which were being written to the media just
 * before the power cut happened, and the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) are
 * supposed to handle such data losses (e.g., by using the FS journal).
 *
 * When UBI detects a corruption (CRC-32 mismatch) in a PEB, and it looks like
 * the reason is a power cut, UBI puts this PEB to the @erase list, and all
 * PEBs in the @erase list are scheduled for erasure later.
 *
 * 2. Unexpected corruptions which are not caused by power cuts. During
 * attaching, such PEBs are put to the @corr list and UBI preserves them.
 * Obviously, this lessens the amount of available PEBs, and if at some  point
 * UBI runs out of free PEBs, it switches to R/O mode. UBI also loudly informs
 * about such PEBs every time the MTD device is attached.
 *
 * However, it is difficult to reliably distinguish between these types of
 * corruptions and UBI's strategy is as follows (in case of attaching by
 * scanning). UBI assumes corruption type 2 if the VID header is corrupted and
 * the data area does not contain all 0xFFs, and there were no bit-flips or
 * integrity errors (e.g., ECC errors in case of NAND) while reading the data
 * area.  Otherwise UBI assumes corruption type 1. So the decision criteria
 * are as follows.
 *   o If the data area contains only 0xFFs, there are no data, and it is safe
 *     to just erase this PEB - this is corruption type 1.
 *   o If the data area has bit-flips or data integrity errors (ECC errors on
 *     NAND), it is probably a PEB which was being erased when power cut
 *     happened, so this is corruption type 1. However, this is just a guess,
 *     which might be wrong.
 *   o Otherwise this is corruption type 2.
