Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] cfi_flash: fix bug with flash banks with different sector numbers
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:55:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2pqpbp7e0.fsf@ohwell.denx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1300727276-10204-1-git-send-email-martin.krause@tqs.de> (Martin Krause's message of "Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:07:56 +0100")

Hello Stefan,

> The function find_sector() does not take into account if the flash bank
> has changed since the last call. This could lead to illegal accesses inside
> and beyond the flash_info_t info strcture. For example if the current
> flash bank has less sectors than the last used flash bank.
>
> This patch adds two cheks. One that insures, that the current sector does
> not exceed the allowed maximum (which is always a good idea). And one that
> checks if the current access is to the same flash bank as the last access.
> If not, the search loop will start with sector 0.
