Commit b1a14f8a1c2e ("UBIFS: Change ubifsload to not read beyond the requested size") added optimization to do not read more bytes than it is really needed. But this commit introduced incorrect handling of the hole at the end of file. This logic cause U-Boot to crash or lockup when trying to read from the ubifs filesystem.
When read_block() call returns -ENOENT error (not an error, but the hole) then dn-> structure is not filled and contain garbage. So using of dn->size for memcpy() argument cause that U-Boot tries to copy unspecified amount of bytes from possible unmapped memory. Which randomly cause lockup of P2020 CPU.
Fix this issue by copying UBIFS_BLOCK_SIZE bytes from read buffer when dn->size is not available. UBIFS_BLOCK_SIZE is the size of the buffer itself and read_block() fills buffer by zeros when it returns -ENOENT.
This patch fixes ubifsload on P2020.

Stefan, could you please look at this patch? Mentioned commit was introduced by you more than 11 years ago. I'm surprised that nobody hit this issue yet, but it looks like older U-Boot versions somehow filled small garbage number into dn->size and did not cause U-Boot lockup/crash.
So long ago. I don't really remember the details. IIRC, I introduced the UBIFS support for some MIPS based board at that time. My best assumption is, that UBIFS is rarely used in U-Boot in general.
It is used on Turris 1.x (powerpc).
Thanks, Stefan
