UBI: block: Fix block device size setting
We are currently taking the block device size from the ubi_volume_info.size field. However, this is not the amount of data in the volume, but the number of reserved physical eraseblocks, and hence leads to an incorrect representation of the volume. In particular, this produces I/O errors on static volumes as the block interface may attempt to read unmapped PEBs: $ cat /dev/ubiblock0_0 > /dev/null UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_0 ubi_read error -22 end_request: I/O error, dev ubiblock0_0, sector 9536 Buffer I/O error on device ubiblock0_0, logical block 2384 [snip] Fix this by using the ubi_volume_info.used_bytes field which is set to the actual number of data bytes for both static and dynamic volumes. While here, improve the error message to be less stupid and more useful: UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_1 ubi_read error -9 on LEB=0, off=15872, len=512 It's worth noticing that the 512-byte sector representation of the volume is only correct if the volume size is multiple of 512-bytes. This is true for virtually any NAND device, given eraseblocks and pages are 512-byte multiple and hence so is the LEB size. Artem: tweak the error message and make it look more like other UBI error messages.
