state: treat state with all-invalid buckets as dirty
The state.dirty flag controls whether state_save will actually persist state. It is cleared when we successfully load or save state and set on writing a state parameter. When the state however becomes corrupt during barebox runtime and state.dirty == 0, reinitializing the state to defaults is quite cumbersome: 1. We reset twice. After the first reset, the dirty flag is reset and before the second, state_save will reinitialize to defaults 2. We write any state variable and then run the state -s command Both workarounds are quite obscure, improve the user experience by having state -l set the dirty flag when it fails, so a subsequent state -s may persist the default values to state. Steps to reproduce: barebox$ state -l state: Using bucket 0@0x00000000 barebox$ memcpy -s /dev/zero -d /dev/eeprom0.state 0 0 0x400 barebox$ state -s barebox$ state -l ERROR: state: No meta data header found ERROR: state: No meta data header found ERROR: state: No meta data header found ERROR: state: Failed to find any valid state copy in any bucket ERROR: state: Failed to read state with format raw, -2 state: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
