From 223eec7e81f8506592fc89cf79a2f14360f5c57b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2020 01:17:35 +0100 Subject: kernel: mtd: parser: cmdline: Fix parsing of part-names with colons Some devices (especially QCA ones) are already using hardcoded partition names with colons in it. The OpenMesh A62 for example provides following mtd relevant information via cmdline: root=31:11 mtdparts=spi0.0:256k(0:SBL1),128k(0:MIBIB),384k(0:QSEE),64k(0:CDT),64k(0:DDRPARAMS),64k(0:APPSBLENV),512k(0:APPSBL),64k(0:ART),64k(custom),64k(0:KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive) rootfsname=rootfs rootwait The change to split only on the last colon between mtd-id and partitions will cause newpart to see following string for the first partition: KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive) Such a partition list cannot be parsed and thus the device fails to boot. Avoid this behavior by making sure that the start of the first part-name ("(") will also be the last byte the mtd-id split algorithm is using for its colon search.
