You should check that we do not access the block device past the
partition end:

Yes, I will fix all of checks.

struct blk_desc *desc = dev_get_uclass_plat(parent);
if ((start + blkcnt) * desc->blksz < part->gpt_part_info.blksz)
          return -EFAULT.

+     start += part->gpt_part_info.start;

A better solution is:
           if (start >= part->gpt_part_info.size)
                   return 0;

           if ((start + blkcnt) > part->gpt_part_info.size)
                   blkcnt = part->gpt_part_info.size - start;
           start += part->gpt_part_info.start;
instead of returning -EFAULT.
(note that start and blkcnt are in "block".)

What is your motivation to support an illegal access?

We will implement the EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL based on this function. The
ReadBlocks() and WriteBlocks() services must return
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER if the read request contains LBAs that are not
valid.

I interpreted that 'LBA' was the third parameter to ReadBlocks API,
and that if the starting block is out of partition region, we should
return an error (and if not, we still want to trim IO request to fit
into partition size as other OS's API like linux does).
Do you think it's incorrect?

[..]

Related to this patch I think that the partition type should be really
be a child of the media device:

- MMC
      |- BLK
      |- PARTITION
         |- BLK
      |- PARTITION
         |- BLK
      |- PARTITION
         |- BLK

It seems more natural to me that putting the partitions under the
top-level BLK device, so that BLK remains a 'terminal' device.

The partition uclass is different from BLK, of course. It could
contain information about the partition such as its partition number
and UUID.

Do you mean hardware partition here? Otherwise I would not know what BLK
should model.

I mean that (I think) we should not use BLK to model partitions. A BLK
should just be a block device.

That is fine. But this implies that a software partition is the child of
a block partition and not the other way round. So the tree should like:

MMC
|- BLK (user hardware partition)
||- PARTITION 1 (software partition)
||- PARTITION 2 (software partition)
|...
||- PARTITION n (software partition)
|- BLK (rpmb hardware partition)
|- BLK (boot0 hardware partition)
|- BLK (boot1 hardware partition)


I don't see any difference between a partition and a hardware
partition. We presumably end up with a hierarchy though. Do we need a
HWPARTITION uclass so we can handle the hardware partitions
differently?

Software partitions are defined and discovered via partition tables.
Hardware partitions are defined in a hardware specific way.

All software partitions map to HD() device tree nodes in UEFI.
An MMC device maps to an eMMC() node
MMC hardware partitions are mapped to Ctrl() nodes by EDK II. We should
do the same in U-Boot.
An SD-card maps to an SD() node.
An NVMe namespace maps to a NVMe() node.
An SCSI LUN maps to a Scsi() node.
SCSI channels of multiple channel controllers are mapped to Ctrl() nodes.

The simple file protocol is only provided by HD() nodes and not by nodes
representing hardware partitions. If the whole hardware partition is
formatted as a file system you would still create a HD() node with
partition number 0.

Best regards

Heinrich
