libmtd: don't ignore "region index" parameter in mtd_regioninfo()
ioctl(MEMGETREGIONINFO) has one input parameter (regionindex) and three output parameters (info about the erase region). There are two problems in mtdinfo/libmtd here: 1. mtdinfo.c doesn't initialize its region_info_user struct, instead passing uninitialized data to mtd_regioninfo() 2. mtd_regioninfo() fails to utilize the 'regidx' parameter to fill out the regionindex parameter properly, so the garbage from mtdinfo.c is propagated to the ioctl() This means that mtdinfo will continuously probe the same (possibly out-of-range) erase region, instead of looping over the valid regions. Let's fix this in the mtd_regioninfo() helper, and at the same time, let's zero out the mtdinfo.c buffer, as an additional precaution to keep from using uninitialized data. Initial error report from Yang, when running "mtdinfo /dev/mtd0" on a Cavium 6100 board: root@CN61XX:~# mtdinfo /dev/mtd0 mtd0 Name: phys_mapped_flash Type: nor Eraseblock size: 65536 bytes, 64.0 KiB Amount of eraseblocks: 128 (8388608 bytes, 8.0 MiB) Minimum input/output unit size: 1 byte Sub-page size: 1 byte Additional erase regions: 0 Character device major/minor: 90:0 Bad blocks are allowed: false Device is writable: true libmtd: error!: MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl failed for erase region 0 error 22 (Invalid argument) Eraseblock region 0: info is unavailable libmtd: error!: MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl failed for erase region 1 error 22 (Invalid argument) Eraseblock region 1: info is unavailable Reported-by: Yang Wei <Wei.Yang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
