From 8ff4130debcc09594b550209c44abf6c7e3ee595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Vasut Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 21:58:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sf: Set current flash bank to 0 in clean_bar() The clean_bar() function resets the SPI NOR BAR register to 0, but does not set the flash->curr_bar to 0 , therefore those two can get out of sync, which could ultimatelly result in corrupted flash content. The simplest test case is this: => mw 0x10000000 0x1234abcd 0x4000 => sf probe => sf erase 0x1000000 0x10000 => sf write 0x10000000 0x1000000 0x10000 => sf probe ; sf read 0x12000000 0 0x10000 ; md 0x12000000 That is, erase a sector above the 16 MiB boundary and write it with random pre-configured data. What will actually happen without this patch is the sector will be erased, but the data will be written to BAR 0 offset 0x0 in the flash. This is because the erase command will call write_bar()+clean_bar(), which will leave flash->bank_curr = 1 while the hardware BAR registers will be set to 0 through clean_bar(). The subsequent write will also trigger write_bar()+clean_bar(), but write_bar checks if the target bank == flash->bank_curr and if so, does NOT reconfigure the BAR in the SPI NOR. Since flash->bank_curr is still 1 and out of sync with the HW, the condition matches, BAR programming is skipped and write ends up at address 0x0, thus corrupting flash content.
