[U-Boot] [PATCH] ubi: reset relevant globals in ubi_exit()

Before calling ubi_init() the U-Boot wrapper calls ubi_mtd_param_parse() to have the UBI driver add it to its mtd_dev_param[] array and increment mtd_devs. The first time ubi_init() is called, mtd_devs would be 1.
Before ubi_init() is called again (another partition is attached), ubi_mtd_param_parse() is called again, incrementing mtd_devs again (now 2). This results in ubi_init() now trying to attach the first partition and the second partition.
Fix this by adding a section at the end of ubi_exit() where we reset any globals that would need to be reset (in this case, just mtd_devs).
Test case: $ ubi part <mtdname> ; ubi part <mtdname>
Before patch:
$ ubi part data UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0 UBI: scanning is finished UBI: attached mtd1 (name "mtd=4", size 4 MiB) to ubi0 [...] UBI: available PEBs: 0, total reserved PEBs: 32, [...] $ ubi part data UBI: detaching mtd1 from ubi0 UBI: mtd1 is detached from ubi0 UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0 [...] UBI: available PEBs: 0, total reserved PEBs: 32, [...] ** Note that this is where it tries to attach mtd1 again, fails, and ** then detaches everything as it errors out of ubi_init() UBI: detaching mtd1 from ubi0 UBI: mtd1 is detached from ubi0 UBI init error 17 $
After patch:
$ ubi part data UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0 UBI: scanning is finished UBI: attached mtd1 (name "mtd=4", size 4 MiB) to ubi0 [...] UBI: available PEBs: 0, total reserved PEBs: 32, [...] $ ubi part data UBI: detaching mtd1 from ubi0 UBI: mtd1 is detached from ubi0 UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0 UBI: scanning is finished UBI: attached mtd1 (name "mtd=4", size 4 MiB) to ubi0 [...] UBI: available PEBs: 0, total reserved PEBs: 32, [...] $

Good catch, but wondering, why this not poped up in my tests, as I did such a test ... Hmm... trying currently on the tqm5200s board on a cfi nor flash [1] shows no error for me. But I just activated ubi errormessages and broke the board ... so I must wait for a debugger :-(
Beside of this, your patch seems feasible, I test it soon.
bye, Heiko

Are you on 2014.10? I don't think this issue existed on the 2014.07-rc3 I was using earlier.
Yes, I tested currently with current mainline ...

Could you please test on your hw with current ML? I could not see this problem, but maybe I have another setup ... thanks!
