Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:46:41 -0000 From: Tomer Barletz X-Patchwork-Id: 167468 Message-Id: <4FEA2DC1.9090003@gmail.com> To: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org mtdoffset is being tested against mtd.size in the outer two loops, but the third nested one does not test against it. In case of a bad block we'll try to access an out of bounds offset in the next MEMGETBADBLOCK ioctl, which will fail with EINVAL. In case mtdoffset is indeed larger than the partition size, we need to bail, since there are not enough "good" blocks to complete the write.
