mtd: Fix the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough room for data

2014-03-11T05:42:31+00:00

If a write to one time programmable memory (OTP) hits the end of this memory area, no more data can be written. The count variable in mtdchar_write() in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c is not decreased anymore. We are trapped in the loop forever, mtdchar_write() will never return in this case. The desired behavior of a write in such a case is described in [1]: - Try to write as much data as possible, truncate the write to fit into the available memory and return the number of bytes that actually have been written. - If no data could be written at all, return -ENOSPC. This patch fixes the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough space for all data: 1) mtd_write_user_prot_reg() in drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c is modified to return -ENOSPC if no data could be written at all. 2) mtdchar_write() is modified to handle -ENOSPC correctly. Exit if a write returned -ENOSPC and yield the correct return value, either then number of bytes that could be written, or -ENOSPC, if no data could be written at all. Furthermore the patch harmonizes the behavior of the OTP memory write in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c with the other implementations and the requirements from [1]. Instead of returning -EINVAL if the data does not fit into the OTP memory, we try to write as much data as possible/truncate the write.

drivers: avoid format string in dev_set_name

2013-07-03T23:07:41+00:00

Calling dev_set_name with a single paramter causes it to be handled as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents, including wrappers like device_create*() and bdi_register().
