However UBIFS defers recovery if it is mounted * read-only, and the flash is not modified in that case. + * + * The general UBIFS approach to the recovery is that it recovers from + * corruptions which could be caused by power cuts, but it refuses to recover + * from corruption caused by other reasons. And UBIFS tries to distinguish + * between these 2 reasons of corruptions and silently recover in the former + * case and loudly complain in the latter case. + * + * UBIFS writes only to erased LEBs, so it writes only to the flash space + * containing only 0xFFs. UBIFS also always writes strictly from the beginning + * of the LEB to the end. And UBIFS assumes that the underlying flash media + * writes in @c->max_write_size bytes at a time. + * + * Hence, if UBIFS finds a corrupted node at offset X, it expects only the min. + * I/O unit corresponding to offset X to contain corrupted data, all the + * following min. I/O units have to contain empty space (all 0xFFs). If this is + * not true, the corruption cannot be the result of a power cut, and UBIFS + * refuses to mount. */ #include <linux/crc32.h> @@ -362,8 +379,9 @@ int ubifs_write_rcvrd_mst_node(struct ubifs_info *c) * @offs: offset to check * * This function returns %1 if @offs was in the last write to the LEB whose data - * is in @buf, otherwise %0 is returned.
