A squashfs filesystem with extended attributes (xattrs) may have inodes of type SQFS_LSYMLINK_TYPE. This might cause u-boot to fail to handle the filesystem since it assumes a SYMLINK_TYPE and LSYMLINK_TYPE inode are the same size. This is wrong, see: https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/blob/master/squashfs-tools/read_fs.c#L421 Using the mksquashfs '-no-xattrs' argument is probably best, but the mksquashfs '-xattrs' argument is the default. This patch fixes squashfs image handling by making sure parsing the uncompressed inode_table (with sqfs_find_inode) succeeeds. The only change needed is correctly determining the size of a SQFS_LSYMLINK_TYPE inode. Signed-off-by: Norbert van Bolhuis <nvbolhuis@gmail.com>
