From 7c802fbd541448accec7bbc0e72ef38693a29593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 11:13:17 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: be silent when mtd partition parser cannot be found Currently when we register partitions in 'parse_mtd_partitions()' we accept the list of parsers we should try. And if one of the parsers was not found we print a message. Well, first of all this whole idea is bad - look at how many 'part_probes' and 'part_probe_types' variables we have - nearly every driver defines one. Instead, we should just go through all registered parsers all the time. But this needs to be worked on separately. This patch makes life of MTD partitions' users a bit simpler and allows them to safely request parsers which have not been registered - 'parse_mtd_partitions()' will not print a "not available" message in this case. The point is that drivers do not have to do things like this any longer: static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL }; but can simply do like this: static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL }; Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse --- drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c | 5 +---- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c b/drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c index 0a4760174782..cd631e773a7b 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c @@ -722,11 +722,8 @@ int parse_mtd_partitions(struct mtd_info *master, const char **types, parser = get_partition_parser(*types); if (!parser && !request_module("%s", *types)) parser = get_partition_parser(*types); - if (!parser) { - printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s partition parsing not available\n", - *types); + if (!parser) continue; - } ret = (*parser->parse_fn)(master, pparts, origin); if (ret > 0) { printk(KERN_NOTICE "%d %s partitions found on MTD device %s\n",
