nor_erase_prepare() will be called before erase a NOR flash, it will program '0'
into a block to mark this block. But program data into a erasure interrupted block
can cause program timtout(several minutes at most) error, could impact other
operation on NOR flash. So UBIFS can read this block first to avoid unneeded
program operation.
This patch try to put read operation at head of write operation in
nor_erase_prepare(), read out the data.
If the data is already corrupt, then no need to program any data into this block,
just go to erase this block.
This patch is validated on Micron NOR flash, part number is：JS28F512M29EWHA

The current ubi.mtd parsing logic will warn & continue on when attaching
the specified mtd device fails (for any reason). It doesn't however skip
things when the specified mtd device can't be opened.
This scenario can be hit in a couple of different ways such as:
- build NAND controller driver as a module
- build UBI into the kernel
- include ubi.mtd on the kernel command line
- boot the system
- MTD devices don't exist, so UBI init fails
This is problematic because failing init means the entire UBI layer is
unavailable until you reboot and modify the kernel command line. If
we just warn and continue on, /dev/ubi_ctrl is available for userland
to add UBI volumes on the fly once it loads the NAND driver.

Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address UBI's slow scanning
issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash data-structure called "fastmap",
which stores the information about logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings.
So now to get this information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full
scan. More information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not respond
quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had good testing and
disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default. We
did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason for this is
that no one used it in real production so far, so there is a high risk that
something is missing. Besides, we do not have user-space tools supporting
fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's scanning
bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should accelerate its production
use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove, somewhat clean-up, and make it the
default for UBI. I do not know how many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did for
btrfs few years ago.

Merge tag 'upstream-3.7-rc1-fastmap' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi
Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
"This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by
Richard Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address
UBI's slow scanning issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash
data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about
logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings. So now to get this
information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan. More
information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not
respond quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had
good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll
break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default.
We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason
for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is
a high risk that something is missing. Besides, we do not have
user-space tools supporting fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's
scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should
accelerate its production use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove,
somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI. I do not know how
many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did
for btrfs few years ago."

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"
A note for stable trees:
Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.
Changing names like this should help:
1. ai -> si
2. aeb_slab_cache -> seb_slab_cache
3. new_aeb -> new_seb
