|     state: backend_storage: deal gracefully with runtime bucket corruption
|
|     Corrupting an already selected bucket and then reading it again will
|     crash barebox when it attempts the refresh:
|
|       barebox$ state -l
|       barebox$ mw -d /dev/eeprom0.state 0 0x42
|       barebox$ state -l
|       ERROR: state: No meta data header found

|
|     The memcmp called here is an optimization to skip I/O if the used bucket
|     and the one to be refreshed compare equal. Unfortunately, if the now
|     corrupt bucket was previously the used one, bucket->len will hold the
|     old value and we'll run into a NULL pointer dereference.
|
|     While this is quite inconvenient, it appears it doesn't affect
|     correctness: after the reset, the corrupt bucket will be refreshed
|     as expected.
|
|     Improve upon this by setting the length to zero when we are NULLing the
|     buffer. The zero length of the corrupted bucket will then compare unequal
|     to used_bucket->len in bucket_refresh() and ensure we will always refresh
|     the buffer if it becomes corrupted without an intermittent reset.
