Subject: [PATCH 21/37] kexec/dt-ops.c: Fix check against 'fdt_add_subnode'
return value
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Vicenç reported (via [1]) that currently executing kexec with
'--dtb' option and passing a .dtb which doesn't have a '/chosen' node
leads to the following error:
# kexec -d --dtb dtb_without_chosen_node.dtb --append 'cmdline' --load Image
dtb_set_property: fdt_add_subnode failed: <valid offset/length>
kexec: Set device tree bootargs failed.
This happens because currently we check the return value of
'fdt_add_subnode()' function call in 'dt-ops.c' incorrectly:
result = fdt_add_subnode(new_dtb, nodeoffset, node);
if (result) {
dbgprintf("%s: fdt_add_subnode failed: %s\n", _func__,
fdt_strerror(result));
goto on_error;
}
As we can see in 'fdt_rw.c', a positive return value from
'fdt_add_subnode()' function doesn't indicate an error.
We can see that the Linux kernel (see 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/fdt.c'
for example) also checks the 'fdt_add_subnode()' function against negative
return values for errors. See an example below from 'update_fdt()' function in
'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/fdt.c':
node = fdt_add_subnode(fdt, 0, "chosen");
if (node < 0) {
status = node;
<..snip..>
goto fdt_set_fail;
}
This patch fixes the same in 'kexec-tools'.
