* vpnor: Add handler for CREATE_WRITE_WINDOWAndrew Jeffery2018-04-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The virtual PNOR implementation enforces the read-only attribute of FFS partitions, which is a departure from how things were handled previously. In the past it was purely up to the host to respect the flags set on the partition, but nothing prevented the host from modifying it. Now it's possible for errors to occur when the host attempts to flush changes back to the flash: mboxd can deny the change. This denial can happen in a number of circumstances: 1. An explicit WRITE_FLUSH command from the host 2. An implicit WRITE_FLUSH via an explicit CLOSE_WINDOW command 3. An implicit WRITE_FLUSH via CREATE_{READ,WRITE}_WINDOW, which happens via the implicit CLOSE_WINDOW All of these attempts will fail if the write to the currently open window cannot be allowed to succeed. Failing to open a read window due to failure to flush pending writes is particularly painful, as we are not able to ever successfully open a window again. Instead, detect when the host attempts to open a write window over a anything but a writeable partition. If this case is detected, return an error for the CREATE_WRITE_WINDOW operation to prevent systemic failures later on.

* vpnor: Configure a handler table in init_vpnor()Andrew Jeffery2018-04-041-0/+5
Currently the table just mirrors that which is set by the regular implementation, however getting to that point requires massaging the code a little. Thus, separate out this change from one that changes the behaviour of the commands to improve the readability of the latter change.
