2021-05-05mtd-utils: flash_erase: Add flash erase chipLarisa Ileana Grigore
Some flash types support full erase chip command which can reduce the flash erase time. Try first to erase the entire flash and fall back to the old method if the operation fails.

2021-01-20Remove headers from EXTRA_DISTDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit removes the C header files from the EXTRA_DIST variables and instead assigns them to the SOURCE variable of the respective components they belong to.

2020-11-29libmtd: avoid divide by zeroChris Packham

2020-02-09mtd-utils: Fix "are we really at EOF" test logic in libubi read_dataDavid Oberhollenzer
The function reads file data into a buffer and then checks if we actually are at the end-of-file by trying to read one more byte. For whatever reason, the code uses an int instead of a char. It's not pretty but works. But again, this is something that every static analysis tool barks at. Further more, the error messages are inverted. "We aren't at EOF yet" is printed on failure and something like "read error %m" is printed on success. This patch fixes all of the above.

2018-09-20libmtd: don't print an error message for devices without ecc supportDavid Oberhollenzer
The libmtd library tries to obtain the available OOB size via the sysfs with a fallback to the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl. For some devices (e.g. plat-ram), the fallback path is always taken and prints an error message to stderr since the ioctl fails. This patch fixes the fallback path by suppressing the error message if errno is set to EOPNOTSUPP (i.e. the device simply doesn't support that).

2018-06-09Revert "Return correct error number in ubi_get_vol_info1"David Oberhollenzer
This reverts commit dede98ffb706676309488d7cc660f569548d5930. The original commit tried to fix a descrepancy between the implementation and the documentation by making the implementation comply. When making the change, it was overlooked, that ubinfo and ubirename were written against the implementation instead of the behaviour specified by the documentation. So were further internal functions like ubi_get_vol_info1_nm which further breaks ubirmvol. A report with an outline of a resulting problem can be read on the mailing list: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2018-June/081562.html From the report: steps to reproduce: have mtd-utils 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 0. make a bunch of ubi volumes in sequential order ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 64KiB -N test1 ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 64KiB -N test2 ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 64KiB -N test3 ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 64KiB -N test4 .. 1. delete the test1 volume, making a hole in the volume table ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N test1 2. try an affected tool (i.e. "ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N test4" ) |root at mr24:/# ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N test4 |ubirmvol: error!: cannot find UBI volume "test4" | error 19 (No such device) or "ubinfo -a" | root at mr24:/# ubinfo -a | UBI version: 1 | Count of UBI devices: 1 | UBI control device major/minor: 10:59 | Present UBI devices: ubi0 | | ubi0 | Volumes count: 11 | Logical eraseblock size: 15872 bytes, 15.5 KiB | Total amount of logical eraseblocks: 1952 (30982144 bytes, 29.5 MiB) | Amount of available logical eraseblocks: 75 (1190400 bytes, 1.1 MiB) | Maximum count of volumes 92 | Count of bad physical eraseblocks: 0 | Count of reserved physical eraseblocks: 40 | Current maximum erase counter value: 984 | Minimum input/output unit size: 512 bytes | Character device major/minor: 251:0 | ubinfo: error!: libubi failed to probe volume 5 on ubi0 | error 19 (No such device) | Present volumes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4root at mr24:/# Reported-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2017-03-22Return correct error number in ubi_get_vol_info1David Oberhollenzer
If the specified UBI device or volume does not exist, the function is supposed to set errno to ENODEV. This patch adds a check to ubi_get_vol_info1 to change the errno to ENODEV if vol_get_major cannot access the underlying sysfs file, so the function propperly returns that the device or volume does not exist, instead of failing with errno set to ENOENT.

2017-03-15Fix libmtd behaviour if MTD is not present on the systemDavid Oberhollenzer
The documentation of libmtd_open says, if it returns NULL and errno is zero, MTD is not present. However, the current version always returns a libmtd_t object. The function internally checks, if it can access the MTD sysfs files and, if not, sets a flag to use the procfs fallback. This patch adds an additional check to libmtd_open, to test if the MTD procfs file can be read and fails with errno cleared if it does not exist. Furhtermore, mtd_get_info is documented to fail with errno set to ENODEV if MTD is not present. First of all, this was broken in the original version. It was implemented to specification for the sysfs code path, but if MTD is not present, that won't be executed, because of the flag set by libmtd_open. This makes the check not only redundant, but masks an actual error (the sysfs paths suddenly not being readable anymore). The legacy path that was used if the sysfs files are not avaible fails with ENOENT if it cannot read the procfs file. With the above changes in addition, we don't have a libmtd_t object if neither sysfs nor procfs is readable, so this error status no longer makes sense. This patch removes the documentation on the ENODEV errno, and makes sure that mtd_get_info always returns with apropriate errno on failure.

2016-11-17Move ubi-utils libraries to common library locationDavid Oberhollenzer
Historically, the mtd-utils and ubi-utils were seperate packages. The ubi-utils were at some point merged into the mtd-utils. They first appeared in the release tar-ball in version 1.1.0 in their own sub-hirarchy with their own buildsystem, readme, documentation, etc. A lot of the duplicated stuff got centralized/removed over time. This patch further cleans up the directory hirarchy duplication by moving common libraries from the ubi-utils/ into the central lib/ and include/ directories in the top directory of the mtd-utils package. This includes: - libuib.a & libubigen.a used by the ubi utilities - libscan.a currently only used by ubiformat - libiniparser.a used by ubinize Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2016-11-17Remove unused and broken mtd_write_img function from libmtdDavid Oberhollenzer
The function _tries_ to support short reads but doesn't adjust the pointer into the buffer. If a short read happens, we scrambles the flash contents. Interrupted reads aren't handled. Short or interrupted writes aren't handled at all. Either a write succeeds writing the entire buffer or the function gives up. During an attempt at fixing it, it was discovered, that no mtd-utils program uses this function. Furthermore, its highly specific nature makes it more of a "feature looking for use case".

2014-11-04libmtd: don't ignore "region index" parameter in mtd_regioninfo()Brian Norris
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.

I have experienced "out of memory" problems with ubiformat, for instance, which writes in eraseblock-sized regions: ... ubiformat: flashing eraseblock 12 -- 72 % complete ubiformat: page allocation failure. order:8, mode:0xd0 Call Trace: [<8043fa7c>] dump_stack+0x8/0x34 [<8008c940>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x408/0x618 [<800bd748>] cache_alloc_refill+0x400/0x730 [<800bdbbc>] __kmalloc+0x144/0x154 [<8009cae4>] memdup_user+0x24/0x94 [<802d04e4>] mtd_ioctl+0xba8/0xbd0 [<802d0544>] mtd_unlocked_ioctl+0x38/0x5c [<800d43c0>] do_vfs_ioctl+0xa4/0x6e4 [<800d4a44>] sys_ioctl+0x44/0xa0 [<8000f95c>] stack_done+0x20/0x40 ... libmtd: error!: MEMWRITE ioctl failed for eraseblock 12 (mtd0) error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) ubiformat: error!: cannot write eraseblock 12 error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) This error can be mitigated for now by only using ioctl(MEMWRITE) when we need to write OOB data, since we can only do this in small transactions anyway. Then, data-only transactions (like those originating from ubiformat) can be carried out with write() calls. This issue can also be solved within the kernel ioctl(), but either way, this patch is still useful, since write() is more straightforward (and efficient?) than ioctl() for data-only writes.

2012-02-14libmtd: fix segmentation fault on lib->mtdBrian Norris
Legacy systems do not initialize lib->mtd, so we shouldn't perform strlen(lib->mtd); this produces a segmentation fault. As this code isn't used in the legacy codepath, we can just move it down to an 'else' branch.
