From 78a8dfbabbece22bee58ac4cb26cab10e7a19c5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Romain Izard Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 11:18:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ubi: Fix error for write access When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right value. The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the ubiblock device. Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the ubiblock device as valid.
