Hi Tanya,

This patch add 'struct ubi_device *' for 3 functions. We can get 'ubi_device' from
'ubi_volume'. So I think it's because when we call these functions, the '->ubi'
pointer of 'ubi_volume' is not initialized, am I right? This patch use 'vol->ubi'
to indicate a 'struct ubi_device *' pointer in some places, I think you are sure
of using them.


1. for validate_vid_hdr() we don;t have a ubi_volume yet since its part of the attach process so we need struct ubi_device
2. for get_exclusive() - you're right. Will fetch dev number from the volume
3. for check_av() - you're right. fixed


I'm not sure if 'ubi_volume->ubi' is initialized when we call some kinds of
ubi_err() to print error messages. The reference to a null pointer, we perform
'ubi->ubi_num' in ubi_err(), may crash the kernel. So you should be careful
of these situations not only in above cases but also in other places in your
patch.


We have the parameter 'ubi_num' for log in some functions like 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev'
before. This patch remove 'ubi_num' in upper changes but keep it in other changes.
Do we have a discussed rule to deal with this situation? It's not a big problem~

I removed it because it made no sense printing it twice:
"ubi-0: attached mtd-0 (...) to ubi0"?
so I shortned the message:
"ubi-0: attched mtd..."
All the info is still there....
Same for other messages that printed ubi number.


Could we remove some the 'ubi_num'? I think there are no need to print it
twice in other places, like:

Artem, I know you have tried to align the message code in different lines, maybe
you can check if you lose this one.


hmmm... not sure I understand what is wrong here....


Turn

+         offset, offset + len);

to

+    ubi_msg(ubi, "hex dump of the %d-%d region",

Actually, I just made it all in one line.... thanks!


Maybe like this. The next line aligns to the message in first line, not a big problem.
By the way, I use space in this example, it's wrong. Tab is right.


Thanks!

Will upload new version soon. Just running some tests.

Thanks,
