Both most common formats have uuid in addition to partition name:
GPT: standard uuid xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
DOS: 4 byte disk signature and 1 byte partition xxxxxxxx-xx

Tools from util-linux use the same notation for them.

<content type='text'>
Add support for partition table defined in Device Tree. Similar to how
it's done with MTD, add support for defining a fixed partition table in
device tree.

A common scenario for this is fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices that
have no MBR or GPT partition table to save storage space. Bootloader
access the block device with absolute address of data.

This is to complete the functionality with an equivalent implementation
with providing partition table with bootargs, for case where the booargs
can't be modified and tweaking the Device Tree is the only solution to
have an usabe partition table.

The implementation follow the fixed-partitions parser used on MTD
devices where a "partitions" node is expected to be declared with
"fixed-partitions" compatible in the OF node of the disk device
(mmc-card for eMMC for example) and each child node declare a label
and a reg with offset and size. If label is not declared, the node name
is used as fallback. Eventually is also possible to declare the read-only
property to flag the partition as read-only.

<title>block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26e197b7f9240a4ac301dd0ad520c0c697c2ea7d</id>
<content type='text'>
The blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition
(IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was
modified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the
function to proceed without logging the error in this case. However,
this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev()
could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer.

This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the
initial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific
error scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general
error case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of
md_autodetect_dev() calls.

<id>urn:sha1:bc2e07dfd2c49aaa4b52302cf7b55cf94e025f79</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the cmdline parsing of the "blkdevparts=" parameter using strsep(),
which makes the code simpler.

Before commit 146afeb235cc ("block: use strscpy() to instead of
strncpy()"), we used a strncpy() to copy a block device name and partition
names. The commit simply replaced a strncpy() and NULL termination with
a strscpy(). It did not update calculations of length passed to strscpy().
While the length passed to strncpy() is just a length of valid characters
without NULL termination ('\0'), strscpy() takes it as a length of the
destination buffer, including a NULL termination.

Since the source buffer is not necessarily NULL terminated, the current
code copies "length - 1" characters and puts a NULL character in the
destination buffer. It replaces the last character with NULL and breaks
the parsing.

As an example, that buffer will be passed to parse_parts() and breaks
parsing sub-partitions due to the missing ')' at the end, like the
following.

example (Check Point V-80 &amp; OpenWrt):

- Linux Kernel 6.6

  [    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xf0512000 crashkernel=30M mvpp2x.queue_mode=1 blkdevparts=mmcblk1:48M@10M(kernel-1),1M(dtb-1),720M(rootfs-1),48M(kernel-2),1M(dtb-2),720M(rootfs-2),300M(default_sw),650M(logs),1M(preset_cfg),1M(adsl),-(storage) maxcpus=4
  ...
  [    0.884016] mmc1: new HS200 MMC card at address 0001
  [    0.889951] mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 004GA0 3.69 GiB
  [    0.895043] cmdline partition format is invalid.
  [    0.895704]  mmcblk1: p1

  [    0.913765] mmcblk1rpmb: mmc1:0001 004GA0 512 KiB, chardev (248:0)

  1. "48M@10M(kernel-1),..." is passed to strscpy() with length=17
     from parse_parts()
  2. strscpy() returns -E2BIG and the destination buffer has
     "48M@10M(kernel-1\0"
  3. "48M@10M(kernel-1\0" is passed to parse_subpart()
  4. parse_subpart() fails to find ')' when parsing a partition name,
     and returns error

- Linux Kernel 6.1

  [    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xf0512000 crashkernel=30M mvpp2x.queue_mode=1 blkdevparts=mmcblk1:48M@10M(kernel-1),1M(dtb-1),720M(rootfs-1),48M(kernel-2),1M(dtb-2),720M(rootfs-2),300M(default_sw),650M(logs),1M(preset_cfg),1M(adsl),-(storage) maxcpus=4

  [    0.989926] mmcblk1rpmb: mmc1:0001 004GA0 512 KiB, chardev (248:0

By the way, strscpy() takes a length of destination buffer and it is
often confusing when copying characters with a specified length. Using
strsep() helps to separate the string by the specified character. Then,
we can use strscpy() naturally with the size of the destination buffer.

Separating the string on the fly is also useful to omit the redundant
string copy, reducing memory usage and improve the code readability.
