v5 cover Generic firmware loader

From: Tien Fong Chee <[email protected]>

This patchset contains generic firmware loader which is very close to Linux firmware loader but for U-Boot framework. Generic firmware loader can be used load whatever into target location, and then consumer driver would use it to program whatever, ie. the FPGA. This version mainly resolved comments from Lothar Waßmann, and Lukasz Majewski in [v4].

This series is working on top of u-boot.git -
http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git .

[v4]: https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot at lists.denx.de/msg272432.html

v4 -> v5 changes:
-----------------
- Changed the env variable name to lower case.
- Added memory freeing function in failure case.
- Assign valid pointer to *firmware_p only when everything is OK.
- Removed the casting on void pointer when assigning to any type pointer.
- Fixed with the right return code.

PATCH v5 1/2 spl: Remove static declaration on spl_mmc_find_device function

In reply to tien.fong.chee at intel.com

From: Tien Fong Chee <[email protected]>

This patch removes the static declation on spl_mmc_find_device_function so this function is accessible by the caller from other file. This patch is required for later patch.

Shouldn't this be 'goto out', do do the umount_ubifs() as in all other error cases?

You handled it as an error before, now you happily return the number of bytes read in case of a short read.

What if actread != firmware_p->size?
You handled it as an error before, now you happily return the number of
bytes read in case of a short read.

May be i misunderstand on ur previosly comment. There is not much description on fd_read, i just knowing that -ve is error from function based on other example codes in U-Boot as they check the error with "ret < 0" or "ret != 0". "actread != firmware_p->size" is the additonal checking i added myself because when i digging to the code, i found that such condition only with error printf inside the function without any error code return. So, i am not sure when "actread != firmware_p-

size", the ret would be -ve too.

How about we write in this way?

	if (ret || (actread != firmware_p->size)) {

%d.\n",
		      ret, fw_priv->name, actread, firmware_p->size);

This is file system generic loader which can be used to load the file image from the storage into target such as memory. The consumer driver would then use this loader to program whatever,
ie. the FPGA device.

size", the ret would be -ve too.

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer and not the exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread != size would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the caller may know by other means, it is obviously an error if actread != size. Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original patch I assumed the latter case.

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the size of the caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call and not the exact amount of data to be read).
Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken as it interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get' which may easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful error message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size' does not match the actual amount of data read.

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file you read is larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read() will stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to notice, that the file was not completely loaded!

My comment was about returning -EPERM in this case. First of all you discarded the possible error code returned from fs_read() and secondly -EIO would be more appropriate than EPERM in case of reading less data than expected.

One of the reason I prefer to use -EIO instead of return from fs_read, because i'm not sure when "actread != firmware_p->size", the return from the fs_read is still -ve or not.

The return code of fs_read() could be for example -ENOENT, if the file you try to load does not exist. Replacing it with -EIO will mislead users about the cause of the error.
Thus, if fs_read()'s return code is < 0, you should return that! If it is zero and you decide to treat actread =! firmware_p->size as an error, you should return -EIO only in that case!

size", the ret would be -ve too.

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer and not the
exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread != size
would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the caller may know by other means, it is obviously an error if actread != size. Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original patch I
assumed the latter case.

Quoted 3 lines

The size here refer to the size of firmware or chunk of firmware to read when the buffer is smaller than firmware.

OK. In that case, you should not print a message when actread != firmware_p->size, since fs_read will have already printed a message due to this.

Quoted 18 lines
Quoted 12 lines

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the size of the
caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call and not the exact amount of data to be read).
Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken as it interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get' which may
easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful error message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size' does not
match the actual amount of data read.

Quoted 6 lines

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file you read is
larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read() will stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to notice, that the file was not completely loaded!

Quoted 4 lines

I prefer to let the caller handles this, because this function can be used to read the firmware chunk by chunk when the allocated buffer is smaller than firmware.

So, the caller should also check, whether the return value of the function matches the requested size and you should omit the special handling of actread != firmware_p->size in fw_get_filesystem_firmware() (as you did in the current version of your patch).

This is file system generic loader which can be used to load
the file image from the storage into target such as memory. The consumer driver would then use this loader to program whatever,

Just to confirm we are in same page, the caller i means is function which call the request_firmware_into_buf. firmware_p->size is the size gonna be read from firmware, could be part of firmware with different offset.
Would you mind to explain more why the special handling should be omitted? This special handling would return error code if fail,or actread if pass to the request_firmware_into_buf. request_firmware_into_buf just need to know status of file reading is performed successfully or not.

You handled it as an error before, now you happily return the number
of
bytes read in case of a short read.

May be i misunderstand on ur previosly comment. There is not much

My comment was about returning -EPERM in this case. First of all you discarded the possible error code returned from fs_read() and secondly -EIO would be more appropriate than EPERM in
case of reading less data than expected.

Quoted 5 lines

One of the reason I prefer to use -EIO instead of return from fs_read,
because i'm not sure when "actread != firmware_p->size", the return from the fs_read is still -ve or not.

Quoted 9 lines

The return code of fs_read() could be for example -ENOENT, if the file
you try to load does not exist. Replacing it with -EIO will mislead users about the cause of the error.
Thus, if fs_read()'s return code is < 0, you should return that! If it is zero and you decide to treat actread =! firmware_p->size as an
error, you should return -EIO only in that case!

Okay.

description on fd_read, i just knowing that -ve is error from function
based on other example codes in U-Boot as they check the error with
"ret < 0" or "ret != 0". "actread != firmware_p->size" is the additonal
checking i added myself because when i digging to the code, i found
that such condition only with error printf inside the function without
any error code return. So, i am not sure when "actread != firmware_p-

size", the ret would be -ve too.

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer and not
the
exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread != size
would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the caller
may know by other means, it is obviously an error if actread != size.
Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original patch
I
assumed the latter case.

Quoted 3 lines

The size here refer to the size of firmware or chunk of firmware to read when the buffer is smaller than firmware.

OK. In that case, you should not print a message when actread != firmware_p->size, since fs_read will have already printed a message due
to this.

The printed message with additional info such as ret, size and actread.

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the size of
the
caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call and not
the exact amount of data to be read).
Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken as it
interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get' which
may
easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful error message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size' does
not
match the actual amount of data read.

Quoted 8 lines

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file you read
is
larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read() will
stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to notice, that the file was not completely loaded!

Quoted 6 lines

I prefer to let the caller handles this, because this function can be
used to read the firmware chunk by chunk when the allocated buffer is
smaller than firmware.

Quoted 6 lines

So, the caller should also check, whether the return value of the function matches the requested size and you should omit the special handling of actread != firmware_p->size in fw_get_filesystem_firmware()
(as you did in the current version of your patch).

Quoted 10 lines

Just to confirm we are in same page, the caller i means is function which call the request_firmware_into_buf. firmware_p->size is the size gonna be read from firmware, could be part of firmware with different offset.
Would you mind to explain more why the special handling should be omitted? This special handling would return error code if fail,or actread if pass to the request_firmware_into_buf. request_firmware_into_buf just need to know status of file reading is performed successfully or not.

The point is whether to define a short read as failure and return an error code in this case or just let the caller know the actual amount of data read. If you always return the actual number of bytes read (or a negative error code), no matter whether it matches the requested size or not, the caller has all information to handle the situation correctly. It could just request a new chunk for the missing bytes in case of a short read, or handle a short read as an error condition at its own discretion. So there is no need to check the actual read size in your function.

But probably this discussion is completely vain, since if you want to load a piece of firmware, you would probably check for the existence of the file and its size beforehand, allocate a sufficiently large buffer and then call request_firmware_into_buf() with the correct size. Thus the situation actread != size should never occur anyway in practice.

This is file system generic loader which can be used to load
the file image from the storage into target such as memory.
The consumer driver would then use this loader to program
whatever,
ie. the FPGA device.

My comment was about returning -EPERM in this case. First of all you discarded the possible error code returned from
fs_read() and secondly -EIO would be more appropriate than EPERM
in
case of reading less data than expected.

Quoted 6 lines

One of the reason I prefer to use -EIO instead of return from fs_read,
because i'm not sure when "actread != firmware_p->size", the return
from the fs_read is still -ve or not.

Quoted 11 lines

The return code of fs_read() could be for example -ENOENT, if the file
you try to load does not exist. Replacing it with -EIO will mislead
users about the cause of the error.
Thus, if fs_read()'s return code is < 0, you should return that! If it is zero and you decide to treat actread =! firmware_p->size as
an
error, you should return -EIO only in that case!

Okay.

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer and

the
exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread !=
size
would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the caller

may know by other means, it is obviously an error if actread !=
size.
Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original
patch
I
assumed the latter case.

Quoted 4 lines

The size here refer to the size of firmware or chunk of firmware to
read when the buffer is smaller than firmware.

Quoted 6 lines

OK. In that case, you should not print a message when actread != firmware_p->size, since fs_read will have already printed a message
due
to this.

The printed message with additional info such as ret, size and actread.

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the size
of
the
caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call and
not
the exact amount of data to be read).
Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken as
it
interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get' which
may
easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful error
message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size' does
not
match the actual amount of data read.

Quoted 11 lines

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file you
read
is
larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read()
will
stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to
notice, that the file was not completely loaded!

Quoted 8 lines

I prefer to let the caller handles this, because this function can
be
used to read the firmware chunk by chunk when the allocated buffer
is
smaller than firmware.

Quoted 7 lines

So, the caller should also check, whether the return value of the function matches the requested size and you should omit the special
handling of actread != firmware_p->size in fw_get_filesystem_firmware()
(as you did in the current version of your patch).

Quoted 13 lines

Just to confirm we are in same page, the caller i means is function which call the request_firmware_into_buf. firmware_p->size is the size
gonna be read from firmware, could be part of firmware with different
offset.
Would you mind to explain more why the special handling should be omitted? This special handling would return error code if fail,or actread if pass to the request_firmware_into_buf. request_firmware_into_buf just need to know status of file reading is
performed successfully or not.

The point is whether to define a short read as failure and return an error code in this case or just let the caller know the actual amount of data read. If you always return the actual number of bytes read (or
a negative error code), no matter whether it matches the requested size
or not, the caller has all information to handle the situation correctly. It could just request a new chunk for the missing bytes in case of a short read, or handle a short read as an error condition at its own discretion. So there is no need to check the actual read size in your function.

Quoted 8 lines

But probably this discussion is completely vain, since if you want to load a piece of firmware, you would probably check for the existence of the file and its size beforehand, allocate a sufficiently large buffer and then call request_firmware_into_buf() with the correct size.
Thus the situation actread != size should never occur anyway in practice.

Okay, so you means that regardless fs_read  is success or fail, just return the actread to the caller, and let caller to decide the next handling action, right?

My comment was about returning -EPERM in this case. First of all you discarded the possible error code returned
from
fs_read() and secondly -EIO would be more appropriate than
EPERM
in
case of reading less data than expected.

Quoted 8 lines

One of the reason I prefer to use -EIO instead of return from
fs_read,
because i'm not sure when "actread != firmware_p->size", the
return
from the fs_read is still -ve or not.

The return code of fs_read() could be for example -ENOENT, if the
file
you try to load does not exist. Replacing it with -EIO will mislead
users about the cause of the error.
Thus, if fs_read()'s return code is < 0, you should return that!
If it is zero and you decide to treat actread =! firmware_p-

as
an
error, you should return -EIO only in that case!

If 'size' is the actual size of the caller provided buffer
and
not
the
exact size of the firmware to be loaded, the condition actread !=
size
would not be an error at all.
If 'size' designates the exact size of the firmware, that the
caller
may know by other means, it is obviously an error if

actread
!=
size.
Since you treated actread != size as an error in your original
patch
I
assumed the latter case.

Quoted 4 lines

The size here refer to the size of firmware or chunk of firmware to
read when the buffer is smaller than firmware.

Quoted 7 lines

OK. In that case, you should not print a message when actread !=
firmware_p->size, since fs_read will have already printed a message
due
to this.

The printed message with additional info such as ret, size and actread.

AFAICT Linux uses the first semantics ('size' specifies the
size
of
the
caller provided buffer as an upper limit for the read() call
and
not
the exact amount of data to be read). Unfortunately the fs_read() semantics is fundamentally broken
as
it
interprets 'size == 0' as 'read as much data as you can get'
which
may
easily lead to buffer overflows and prints a very unhelpful
error
message "<filename> shorter than offset + len" in case 'size'
does
not
match the actual amount of data read.

Quoted 12 lines

You should also consider what happens, if the firmware file
you
read
is
larger than the buffer you provided, as in that case fs_read()
will
stop reading at the provided buffer size and you won't be able to
notice, that the file was not completely loaded!

Quoted 9 lines

I prefer to let the caller handles this, because this function
can
be
used to read the firmware chunk by chunk when the allocated buffer
is
smaller than firmware.

Quoted 8 lines

So, the caller should also check, whether the return value of the
function matches the requested size and you should omit the special
handling of actread != firmware_p->size in fw_get_filesystem_firmware()
(as you did in the current version of your patch).

Just to confirm we are in same page, the caller i means is function
which call the request_firmware_into_buf. firmware_p->size is the
size
gonna be read from firmware, could be part of firmware with different
offset.
Would you mind to explain more why the special handling should

Quoted 9 lines

be
omitted? This special handling would return error code if fail,or
actread if pass to the request_firmware_into_buf. request_firmware_into_buf just need to know status of file reading
is
performed successfully or not.

The point is whether to define a short read as failure and return an
error code in this case or just let the caller know the actual amount
of data read. If you always return the actual number of bytes read
(or
a negative error code), no matter whether it matches the requested
size
or not, the caller has all information to handle the situation correctly. It could just request a new chunk for the missing bytes in
case of a short read, or handle a short read as an error condition at
its own discretion. So there is no need to check the actual read size
in your function.

Quoted 11 lines

But probably this discussion is completely vain, since if you want to
load a piece of firmware, you would probably check for the existence
of the file and its size beforehand, allocate a sufficiently large
buffer and then call request_firmware_into_buf() with the correct size.
Thus the situation actread != size should never occur anyway in practice.

Quoted 6 lines

Okay, so you means that regardless fs_read  is success or fail, just
return the actread to the caller, and let caller to decide the next handling action, right?

Quoted 2 lines
Quoted 7 lines

NOOOOO!
If fs_read() returns an error code, you should return that of course!

If the return code from fs_read() is zero, you should just return actread without spewing any message and let the caller handle the situation appropriately.

Okay, i have no problem with that.
