[PATCH v11 1/3] block: fix signed int overflow in Amiga partition support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Amiga partition parser module uses signed int for partition sector
address and count, which will overflow for disks larger than 1 TB.

Use sector_t as type for sector address and size to allow using disks
up to 2 TB without LBD support, and disks larger than 2 TB with LBD.

This bug was reported originally in 2012, and the fix was created by
the RDB author, Joanne Dow <jdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>. A patch had been
discussed and reviewed on linux-m68k at that time but never officially
submitted. This patch differs from Joanne's patch only in its use of
sector_t instead of unsigned int. No checking for overflows is done
(see patch 3 of this series for that).

Changes from v3:

- split off change of sector address type as quick fix.
- cast to sector_t in sector address calculations.
- move overflow checking to separate patch for more thorough review.

Changes from v4:

Andreas Schwab:
- correct cast to sector_t in sector address calculations

Changes from v7:

Christoph Hellwig
- correct style issues

Changes from v9:

- add Fixes: tags and stable backport prereq
