Merge tag 'upstream-3.15-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs
Pull ubifs updates from Artem Bityutskiy:
"This pull request includes the 'ubiblock' driver which provides R/O
block access to UBI volumes. It is useful for those who want to use
squashfs on top of raw flash devices. UBI will provide bit-flip
handling and wear-levelling in this case (e.g., if there are other UBI
volumes with R/W UBIFS too).
The driver is actually pretty small and it is part of the UBI kernel
subsystem. Delivered by Ezequiel Garcia, along with a piece of
documentation on the MTD web site and the user-space tool for creating
and removing block devices"

UBI: block: Add CONFIG_BLOCK dependency
UBI: block: Use 'u64' for the 64-bit dividend
UBI: block: Mark init-only symbol as __initdata
UBI: block: do not use term "attach"

+ bool "Read-only block devices on top of UBI volumes"
+ default n
+ depends on BLOCK
+ help
+ This option enables read-only UBI block devices support. UBI block
+ devices will be layered on top of UBI volumes, which means that the
+ UBI driver will transparently handle things like bad eraseblocks and
+ bit-flips. You can put any block-oriented file system on top of UBI
+ volumes in read-only mode (e.g., ext4), but it is probably most
+ practical for read-only file systems, like squashfs.
+
+ When selected, this feature will be built in the UBI driver.
+
+ If in doubt, say "N".

+ * Read-only block devices on top of UBI volumes
+ *
+ * A simple implementation to allow a block device to be layered on top of a
+ * UBI volume. The implementation is provided by creating a static 1-to-1
+ * mapping between the block device and the UBI volume.
+ *
+ * The addressed byte is obtained from the addressed block sector, which is
+ * mapped linearly into the corresponding LEB:
+ *
+ * LEB number = addressed byte / LEB size
+ *
+ * This feature is compiled in the UBI core, and adds a 'block' parameter
+ * to allow early creation of block devices on top of UBI volumes. Runtime
+ * block creation/removal for UBI volumes is provided through two UBI ioctls:
+ * UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK.
