In case an invalid file list is passed to file_list_parse(), it will return an error, i.e. by passing "/dev/mmc1(emmc) /dev/mmc1.1(root)", the error here being that the entries are not comma separated and file_list_parse will try to parse ' ' as a flag. The fastboot code didn't handle this, leading to the following error: ERROR: file_list: Unknown flag ' ' ERROR: file_list: parse error unable to handle paging request at address 0xfffffff2 pc : [<8fe26a20>] lr : [<8fe0f965>] sp : 8ffeff50 ip : 8ffef714 fp : 00079bda r10: 001b9ff8 r9 : 8fea7eec r8 : 00000001 r7 : 00000000 r6 : 00000001 r5 : 00000000 r4 : 8813eab0 r3 : ffffffea r2 : 00020000 r1 : 00000001 r0 : 8813eab0 Flags: nzCv IRQs off FIQs off Mode SVC_32 WARNING: [<8fe26a20>] (usb_multi_count_functions+0xc/0x2a) from [<8fe0f965>] (usbgadget_register+0x79/0xf4) WARNING: [<8fe0f965>] (usbgadget_register+0x79/0xf4) from [<8fe0fa13>] (usbgadget_autostart_set+0x33/0x4c) WARNING: [<8fe0fa13>] (usbgadget_autostart_set+0x33/0x4c) from [<8fe4d437>] (param_int_set+0x4b/0xb0) WARNING: [<8fe4d437>] (param_int_set+0x4b/0xb0) from [<8fe4d899>] (dev_set_param+0x4d/0x64) WARNING: [<8fe4d899>] (dev_set_param+0x4d/0x64) from [<8fe066f1>] (globalvar_add_bool+0x49/0x54) WARNING: [<8fe066f1>] (globalvar_add_bool+0x49/0x54) from [<8fe0f8dd>] (usbgadget_autostart_init+0x15/0x24) WARNING: [<8fe0f8dd>] (usbgadget_autostart_init+0x15/0x24) from [<8fe01081>] (start_barebox+0x35/0x6c) WARNING: [<8fe01081>] (start_barebox+0x35/0x6c) from [<8fe62ed9>] (barebox_non_pbl_start+0x121/0x164) WARNING: [<8fe62ed9>] (barebox_non_pbl_start+0x121/0x164) from [<8fe00005>] (__bare_init_start+0x1/0xc) WARNING: [<8fe64e3d>] (unwind_backtrace+0x1/0x78) from [<8fe01385>] (panic+0x1d/0x34) WARNING: [<8fe01385>] (panic+0x1d/0x34) from [<8fe62723>] (do_exception+0xf/0x14) WARNING: [<8fe62723>] (do_exception+0xf/0x14) from [<8fe62791>] (do_data_abort+0x21/0x34) WARNING: [<8fe62791>] (do_data_abort+0x21/0x34) from [<8fe624d4>] (do_abort_6+0x48/0x54) Add the proper error handling and notify the user with a proper error message.
