Mårten Lindahl 5580cdae05 ubi: wl: Close down wear-leveling before nand is suspended
If a reboot/shutdown signal with double force (-ff) is triggered when
the erase worker or wear-leveling worker function runs we may end up in
a race condition since the MTD device gets a reboot notification and
suspends the nand flash before the erase or wear-leveling is done. This
will reject all accesses to the flash with -EBUSY.

Sequence for the erase worker function:

   systemctl reboot -ff           ubi_thread

                                do_work
 __do_sys_reboot
   blocking_notifier_call_chain
     mtd_reboot_notifier
       nand_shutdown
         nand_suspend
                                  __erase_worker
                                    ubi_sync_erase
                                      mtd_erase
                                        nand_erase_nand

                                          # Blocked by suspended chip
                                          nand_get_device
                                            => EBUSY

Similar sequence for the wear-leveling function:

   systemctl reboot -ff           ubi_thread

                                do_work
 __do_sys_reboot
   blocking_notifier_call_chain
     mtd_reboot_notifier
       nand_shutdown
         nand_suspend
                                  wear_leveling_worker
                                    ubi_eba_copy_leb
                                      ubi_io_write
                                        mtd_write
                                          nand_write_oob

                                            # Blocked by suspended chip
                                            nand_get_device
                                              => EBUSY

Add a reboot notification for the ubi/wear-leveling to shutdown any
potential flash work actions before the nand is suspended.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
