Just a question regarding the host generated environement file.
In common/environment.c - the host specific envfs_save function is setting
size = (unsigned long)data.writep;
Now there is no way of ensuring that the size is padded to Page size.
The script bareboxenv seems not to use the pad parameter to change the
size parameter of the ENVFS superblock.
Now I know that we can't issue read commands which are not multiples
of Page size. But this is exactly what we are doing in envfs_load:
size = ENVFS_32(super.size);
buf = xmalloc(size);
buf_free = buf;
ret = read(envfd, buf, size);
I think this explains why my read is failing !
