Subject: [PATCH v1] mtd: ubi: block: Fix error for write access
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 11:18:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180129101820.1692-1-romain.izard.pro@gmail.com> (raw)
When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error
code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right
value.
The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening
read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the
veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the
ubiblock device.
Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the
ubiblock device as valid.
Fixes: 9d54c8a33eec (UBI: R/O block driver on top of UBI volumes)
