sandbox: block driver using host file/device as backing store

2014-01-09T00:24:03+00:00

Provide a way to use any host file or device as a block device in U-Boot.
This can be used to provide filesystem access within U-Boot to an ext2
image file on the host, for example.

The support is plumbed into the filesystem and partition interfaces.

We don't want to print a message in the driver every time we find a missing
device. Pass the information back to the caller where a message can be printed
if desired.

Fix ext2/ext4 filesystem accesses beyond 2TiB

2013-07-15T21:06:13+00:00

With CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA, lbaint_t gets defined as a 64-bit type,
which is required to represent block numbers for storage devices that
exceed 2TiB (the block size usually is 512B), e.g. recent hard drives

We now use lbaint_t for partition offset to reflect the lbaint_t change,
and access partitions beyond or crossing the 2.1TiB limit.
This required changes to signature of ext4fs_devread(), and type of all
variables relatives to block sector.

ext2/ext4 fs uses logical block represented by a 32 bit value. Logical
block is a multiple of device block sector. To avoid overflow problem
when calling ext4fs_devread(), we need to cast the sector parameter.

Fix block device accesses beyond 2TiB

2013-06-26T14:26:06+00:00

With CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA, lbaint_t gets defined as a 64-bit type,
which is required to represent block numbers for storage devices that
exceed 2TiB (the block size usually is 512B), e.g. recent hard drives.

For some obscure reason, the current U-Boot code uses lbaint_t for the
number of blocks to read (a rather optimistic estimation of how RAM
sizes will evolve), but not for the starting address. Trying to access
blocks beyond the 2TiB boundary will simply wrap around and read a
block within the 0..2TiB range.

We now use lbaint_t for block start addresses, too. This required
changes to all block drivers as the signature of block_read(),
block_write() and block_erase() in block_dev_desc_t changed.

part/dev_desc: Add log2 of blocksize to block_dev_desc data struct

2013-05-01T20:24:02+00:00

log2 of the device block size serves as the shift value used to calculate
the block number to read in file systems when implementing avaiable block
sizes.
It is needed quite often in file systems thus it is pre-calculated and
stored in the block device descriptor.

disk/gpt: Fix GPT partition handling for blocksize != 512

2013-05-01T20:24:02+00:00

Disks beyond 2T in size use blocksizes of 4096 bytes. However a lot of
code in u-boot  still assumes a 512 byte blocksize.
This patch fixes the handling of GPTs.

disk: part_efi: parse and store partition UUID

2012-09-25T22:05:44+00:00

Each EFI partition table entry contains a UUID. Extend U-Boot's struct
disk_partition to be able to store this information, and modify
get_partition_info_efi() to fill it in.

The implementation of uuid_string() was derived from the Linux kernel,
tag v3.6-rc4 file lib/vsprintf.c function uuid_string().

disk: get_device_and_partition() "auto" partition and cleanup

2012-09-25T21:58:48+00:00

Rework get_device_and_partition() to:
a) Implement a new partition ID of "auto", which requests that U-Boot
   search for the first "bootable" partition, and fall back to the first
   valid partition if none is found. This way, users don't need to
   specify an explicit partition in their commands.
b) Make use of get_device().
c) Add parameter to indicate whether returning a whole device is
   acceptable, or whether a partition is mandatory.
d) Make error-checking of the user's device-/partition-specification
   more complete. In particular, if strtoul() doesn't convert all
   characters, it's an error rather than just ignored.

The resultant device/partition returned by the function will be as
follows, based on whether the disk has a partition table (ptable) or not,
and whether the calling command allows the whole device to be returned
or not.

(D and P are integers, P >= 1)

D
D:
  No ptable:
    !allow_whole_dev: error
    allow_whole_dev: device D
  ptable:
    device D partition 1
D:0
  !allow_whole_dev: error
  allow_whole_dev: device D
D:P
  No ptable: error
  ptable: device D partition P
D:auto
  No ptable:
    !allow_whole_dev: error
    allow_whole_dev: device D
  ptable:
    first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
    If none, first valid paratition in device D.

Note: In order to review this patch, it's probably easiest to simply
look at the file contents post-application, rather than reading the
patch itself.

[swarren: Rob implemented scanning for bootable partitions. I fixed a
couple of issues there, switched the syntax to ":auto", added the
error-checking rework, and ":0" syntax for the whole device]
