2023-05-30mtd-utils: Add new syntax to get devices by nameBrandon Maier
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.

2019-11-10mtd_debug: cleanup error handling in flash_to_fileDavid Oberhollenzer
The existing code had multiple error handling labels and did things like checking if a buffer is not NULL before freeing it. This patch collapses all of this into a single label. We can do this, because the standard guarantees us that it is safe to call free() with a NULL pointer. This also has the side effect of removing the possibility of using the wrong error label and accidentally leaking something. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2017-11-03Enable further warning flags, address new warningsDavid Oberhollenzer
mtd_debug: Remove a duplicate if case. MTD_CAP_NANDFLASH has only one flag set (MTD_WRITEABLE). Directly below, we had a check for MTD_WRITEABLE in the else branch which can't possible ever have triggered. Checking for MTD_WRITEABLE in addition to the CAP constants was probably not intended anyway, given the check for the individual flags if all else fails. integck: We already established that "r" is less than the number of elements in the list, so the loop condition doesn't need to check if w is NULL in addition. At least this way, the compiler "gets" that w cannot be NULL below and doesn't issue warnings. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2017-11-02Mark or fix switch cases that fall throughDavid Oberhollenzer
Now that C++17 introduced a special fallthrough keyword for explicitly tagging switch cases that are supposed to fall through, newer gcc versions also implement a feature request from 2002 to warn about maybe unwanted fall-throughs in switch cases in other languages (like C). For C code, we can either add a gcc specific attribute at the end of the switch case, or use a special comment that gcc checks for, indicating that the fall-through behaviour is indeed intended. This patch adds a "/* fall-through */" comment at the end of various case blocks to silence gcc warnings and in some cases a break, where fall-through was probably not intended.

2017-11-02Add no-return attribute to usage() style functionsDavid Oberhollenzer
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.

2017-06-28Eliminate warnings about missing prototypesDavid Oberhollenzer
This patch eliminates warnings generated by the -Wmissing-prototypes option. With this flag set, we are now forced to have prototypes for all global, exported functions, that have to be made visible to the definitions and we are forced to mark all local functions as static.

2016-08-25mtd-utils: mtd_debug: check amount of data read.Michal Suchanek
The kernel refuses to read more data from a MTD device than the device size. However, mtd_debug does not check the amount of data read as returned by read(2) and assumes the requested amount is always read when there is no error. Reading 8M data from a 4M flash chip results in 8M file containing the flash data at the start. Signed-off-by: Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
2015-11-11mtd-utils: Restructure the mtd-utils source.Dongsheng Yang
* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving * the files to proper place. The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure for our source code. mtd-utils/ |-- lib |-- include |-- misc-utils |-- jffsX-utils |-- nand-utils |-- nor-utils |-- ubi-utils |-- ubifs-utils `-- tests Signed-off-by: Dongsheng Yang <yangds.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
