[30/71] UBIFS: fix debugging failure in dbg_check_space_info

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

commit 7da6443aca9be29c6948dcbd636ad50154d0bc0c upstream.

This patch fixes a debugging failure with which looks like this:
UBIFS error (pid 32313): dbg_check_space_info: free space changed from 6019344 to 6022654

The reason for this failure is described in the comment this patch adds
to the code. But in short - 'c->freeable_cnt' may be different before
and after re-mounting, and this is normal. So the debugging code should
make sure that free space calculations do not depend on 'c->freeable_cnt'.

A similar issue has been reported here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-April/034647.html

This patch should fix it.

For the -stable guys: this patch is only relevant for kernels 2.6.30
onwards.

+	 * need. So at any given point of time @c->freeable_cnt might be not
+	 * exactly accurate.
+	 *
+	 * Just one example about the issue we hit when we did not zero
+	 * @c->freeable_cnt.
+	 * 1. The file-system is mounted R/O, c->freeable_cnt is %0. We save the
+	 *    amount of free space in @d->saved_free
+	 * 2. We re-mount R/W, which makes UBIFS to read the "lsave"
+	 *    information from flash, where we cache LEBs from various
+	 *    categories ('ubifs_remount_fs()' -> 'ubifs_lpt_init()'

+	 *    -> 'ubifs_get_pnode()' -> 'update_cats()'
+	 *    -> 'ubifs_add_to_cat()').
+	 * 3. Lsave contains a freeable eraseblock, and @c->freeable_cnt
+	 *    becomes %1.
+	 * 4. We calculate the amount of free space when the re-mount is
+	 *    finished in 'dbg_check_space_info()' and it does not match
+	 *    @d->saved_free.
