mtd: mtdpart: fix add_mtd_partitions error path

2015-11-27T12:48:19Z

commit e5bae86797141e4a95e42d825f737cb36d7b8c37 upstream. If we fail to allocate a partition structure in the middle of the partition creation process, the already allocated partitions are never removed, which means they are still present in the partition list and their resources are never freed.

mtd: mtdpart: break it as soon as we parse out the partitions

2012-10-17T02:49:13Z

commit c51803ddba10d80d9f246066802c6e359cf1d44c upstream. We may cause a memory leak when the @types has more then one parser. Take the `default_mtd_part_types` for example. The default_mtd_part_types has two parsers now: `cmdlinepart` and `ofpart`. Assume the following case: The kernel command line sets the partitions like: #gpmi-nand:20m(boot),20m(kernel),1g(rootfs),-(user) But the devicetree file(such as arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-evk.dts) also sets the same partitions as the kernel command line does. In the current code, the partitions parsed out by the `ofpart` will overwrite the @pparts which has already set by the `cmdlinepart` parser, and the the partitions parsed out by the `cmdlinepart` is missed. A memory leak occurs. So we should break the code as soon as we parse out the partitions, In actually, this patch makes a priority order between the parsers. If one parser has already parsed out the partitions successfully, it's no need to use another parser anymore.

mtd: utilize `mtd_is_*()' functions

mtd: rename MTD_OOB_* to MTD_OPS_*

2011-09-11T12:28:59Z

These modes are not necessarily for OOB only. Particularly, MTD_OOB_RAW affected operations on in-band page data as well. To clarify these options and to emphasize that their effect is applied per-operation, we change the primary prefix to MTD_OPS_. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: remove put_partition_parser() from public header

2011-09-11T12:02:13Z

There is no need to pollute public header with a definition private to mtdpart.c. Move it from mtd/partitions.h to mtdpart.c Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: hide parse_mtd_partitions

2011-09-11T12:02:13Z

There is no need to export parse_mtd_partitions() now , as it's fully handled by registration functions. So move the definition to private header and remove respective EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions to partition parser

2011-09-11T12:02:10Z

Prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions() to usual partitions parser: 1) Register ofpart parser 2) Internally don't use passed device for error printing 3) Add device_node to mtd_part_parser_data struct 4) Move of_mtd_parse_partitions from __devinit to common text section 5) add ofpart to the default list of partition parsers Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: abstract last MTD partition parser argument

2011-09-11T12:02:10Z

Encapsulate last MTD partition parser argument into a separate structure. Currently it holds only 'origin' field for RedBoot parser, but will be extended in future to contain at least device_node for OF devices. Amended commentary to make kerneldoc happy Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: document parse_mtd_partitions

2011-09-11T12:02:05Z

Add a kerneldoc comment for the 'parse_mtd_partitions()' function - its behavior has changed recently so it is good idea to have it documented. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: add a flags for partitions which should just leave smth. after them

2011-09-11T12:02:04Z

Add support for MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN: such partitions start at the current offset, take as much space as possible, but rain part->size bytes after the end of the partitions for other parts. Primarily this is intended for ts72xx arm platforms cleanup. Artem: tweaked the patch a bit Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
