Subject[PATCH 4.9 04/95] ubi: Fix error for write access
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Romain Izard <romain.izard.pro@gmail.com>

commit 78a8dfbabbece22bee58ac4cb26cab10e7a19c5d upstream.

When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error
code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right
value.

The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening
read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the
veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the
ubiblock device.

Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the
ubiblock device as valid.
