<id>bc2e07dfd2c49aaa4b52302cf7b55cf94e025f79</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the cmdline parsing of the "blkdevparts=" parameter using strsep(),
which makes the code simpler.

Before commit 146afeb235cc ("block: use strscpy() to instead of
strncpy()"), we used a strncpy() to copy a block device name and partition
names. The commit simply replaced a strncpy() and NULL termination with
a strscpy(). It did not update calculations of length passed to strscpy().
While the length passed to strncpy() is just a length of valid characters
without NULL termination ('\0'), strscpy() takes it as a length of the
destination buffer, including a NULL termination.

Since the source buffer is not necessarily NULL terminated, the current
code copies "length - 1" characters and puts a NULL character in the
destination buffer. It replaces the last character with NULL and breaks
the parsing.

As an example, that buffer will be passed to parse_parts() and breaks
parsing sub-partitions due to the missing ')' at the end, like the
following.

example (Check Point V-80 &amp; OpenWrt):

- Linux Kernel 6.6

  [    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xf0512000 crashkernel=30M mvpp2x.queue_mode=1 blkdevparts=mmcblk1:48M@10M(kernel-1),1M(dtb-1),720M(rootfs-1),48M(kernel-2),1M(dtb-2),720M(rootfs-2),300M(default_sw),650M(logs),1M(preset_cfg),1M(adsl),-(storage) maxcpus=4

  1. "48M@10M(kernel-1),..." is passed to strscpy() with length=17
     from parse_parts()
  2. strscpy() returns -E2BIG and the destination buffer has
     "48M@10M(kernel-1\0"
  3. "48M@10M(kernel-1\0" is passed to parse_subpart()
  4. parse_subpart() fails to find ')' when parsing a partition name,
     and returns error

By the way, strscpy() takes a length of destination buffer and it is
often confusing when copying characters with a specified length. Using
strsep() helps to separate the string by the specified character. Then,
we can use strscpy() naturally with the size of the destination buffer.

Separating the string on the fly is also useful to omit the redundant
string copy, reducing memory usage and improve the code readability.

open coding the check in a few places.  This now always checks for
the hidden flag even if all but one of the callers are never reachable
for hidden gendisks.

bdev_unhash(): make block device invisible to lookups by device number
bdev_drop(): drop reference to associated inode.

Both are internal, for use by genhd and partition-related code - similar
to bdev_add().  The logics in there (especially the lifetime-related
parts of it) ought to be cleaned up, but that's a separate story; here
we just encapsulate getting to associated inode.

On the next step it's going to get folded into a field where flags will go.

<title>block/partitions/ldm: convert strncpy() to strscpy()</title>

<id>597bc741e5ac2608e3ec0afd4256163879ab506b</id>
<content type='text'>
The strncpy() here can cause a non-terminated string, which older gcc
versions such as gcc-9 warn about:

In function 'ldm_parse_tocblock',
    inlined from 'ldm_validate_tocblocks' at block/partitions/ldm.c:386:7,
    inlined from 'ldm_partition' at block/partitions/ldm.c:1457:7:
block/partitions/ldm.c:134:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  134 |  strncpy (toc-&gt;bitmap1_name, data + 0x24, sizeof (toc-&gt;bitmap1_name));
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
block/partitions/ldm.c:145:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  145 |  strncpy (toc-&gt;bitmap2_name, data + 0x46, sizeof (toc-&gt;bitmap2_name));
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New versions notice that the code is correct after all because of the
following termination, but replacing the strncpy() with strscpy_pad()
or strcpy() avoids the warning and simplifies the code at the same time.

Use the padding version here to keep the existing behavior, in case
the code relies on not including uninitialized data.

The helper function mac_fix_string is only required with CONFIG_PPC_PMAC,
add #if CONFIG_PPC_PMAC and #endif around the function.
