Until now it has been possible to create overlapping partitions. Go away
from that and allow to create partitions only in unallocated areas of a
device. This lowers the risk of having inconsistent partitioning and
increases the chance that inconsistent partitioning is recognized by
the user.
We had explicit overlap checking for the environment partition which
becomes unnecessary with this change and is removed.

This is now commit 7f9f45b9bfef2ce8706f25c46dcbd109e4181164. Still some

The first cpart->name should be cdev->name.
This warning wrongly triggers for a machine after updating 2021.07.0 ->
2022.05.0 here:
bootloader: echo $nand0.partitions
1M(barebox),1M(environment),80M@4480k(root),44672k(var)
bootloader: addpart /dev/nand0 0x260000@0x00200000(history)
nand0: __devfs_add_partition:422: offset=200000, size=260000, name=nand0.history
New partition nand0.history (0x00200000-0x0045ffff) on nand0 overlaps with partition nand0.root (0x00000000-0x04ffffff), not creating it
cannot create nand0.history: Invalid argument
addpart: Invalid argument
The problem seems to be that for mtd partitions(?) the offset is 0 while
in reality the offset of the "root" partition is 4480*1024 = 0x460000
(relative to the master mtd device at least).
I didn't test, but I guess
- if (cenv->mtd)
- return 0;
in the old check_overlap function made this problem not appear before
7f9f45b9bfef2ce8706f25c46dcbd109e4181164.
Do you have a suggestion how to best fix this?
Best regards
Uwe

mtd partitions are separate devices. Their partition info is relative to
these subdevices and so offset is 0 for them. This needs to be taken
into account for the overlap check.

cpart->name contains the partition name, not the device name. Use
cdev->name instead.
