mtd: mtdpart: disallow reading OOB past the end of the partition
This patch fixes the mtdpart bug which allows users reading OOB past the
end of the partition. This happens because 'part_read_oob()' allows reading
multiple OOB areas in one go, and mtdparts does not validate the OOB
length in the request.
Although there is such check in 'nand_do_read_oob()' in nand_base.c, but
it checks that we do not read past the flash chip, not the partition,
because in nand_base.c we work with the whole chip (e.g., mtd->size
in nand_base.c is the size of the whole chip). So this check cannot
be done correctly in nand_base.c and should be instead done in mtdparts.c.
This problem was reported by Jason Liu <r64343@freescale.com> and reproduced
with nandsim:
$ modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xaa third_id_byte=0x00 \
fourth_id_byte=0x15 parts=0x400,0x400
$ modprobe nandsim mtd_oobtest.ko dev=0
$ dmesg
= snip =
mtd_oobtest: attempting to read past end of device
mtd_oobtest: an error is expected...
mtd_oobtest: error: read past end of device
= snip =
mtd_oobtest: finished with 2 errors
