mtd-utils: Add new syntax to get devices by name

2023-05-30T09:12:12+00:00

This introduces a new feature to the MTD command line utilities that allows MTD devices to be referenced by name instead of device node. For example this looks like: > # Display info for the MTD device with name "data" > mtdinfo mtd:data > # Copy file to MTD device with name "data" > flashcp /my/file mtd:data This follows the syntax supported by the kernel which allows MTD device's to be mounted by name[1]. Add the function mtd_find_dev_node() that accepts an MTD "identifier" and returns the MTD's device node. The function accepts a string starting with "mtd:" which it treats as the MTD's name. It then attempts to search for the MTD, and if found maps it back to the /dev/mtdX device node. If the string does not start with "mtd:", then assume it's the old style and refers directly to a MTD device node. The function is then hooked into existing tools like flashcp, mtdinfo, flash_unlock, etc. To load in the new MTD parsing code in a consistent way across programs.

mtd-tests: use pages during readtest and stress

2021-12-06T00:47:02+00:00

Same fix as a2c6bbc ("mtd-tests: Read and write pages during speed tests") but applied to flash_readtest and flash_stress. Resolves failure of flash_readtest when subpages are present. The test reads a (sub)page followed by the entire OOB. Upon reaching the 2nd subpage, the OOB read fails because it is beyond the end of OOB.

Add no-return attribute to usage() style functions

2017-11-02T00:33:32+00:00

A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage() function that prints out how to use the command line options and then terminates. The function is typically used inside a switch block for command line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However, this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through. Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do not return and removes further superfluous break statements.

mtd-utils: Add flash read test utility

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

Basically a user space port of the mtd read test kernel module. In addition to the module parameters, the utility can scan only a sub-range of the flash erase block with a configurable stride. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
