From 9f58d3503a1368673609db1962e4a584261b62eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthew L. Creech" Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 16:33:20 -0400 Subject: UBIFS: add a superblock flag for free space fix-up The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation. Artem: improved commit message, add some more commentaries to the code.
