Making 'blk' sector_t (i.e. 64 bit if LBD support is active)
fails the 'blk>0' test in the partition block loop if a
value of (signed int) -1 is used to mark the end of the
partition block list.
This bug was introduced in patch 3 of my prior Amiga partition
support fixes series, and spotted by Christian Zigotzky when
testing the latest block updates.
Explicitly cast 'blk' to signed int to allow use of -1 to
terminate the partition block linked list.
Testing by Christian also exposed another aspect of the old
bug fixed in commits fc3d092c6b ("block: fix signed int
overflow in Amiga partition support") and b6f3f28f60
("block: add overflow checks for Amiga partition support"):
Partitions that did overflow the disk size (due to 32 bit int
overflow) were not skipped but truncated to the end of the
disk. Users who missed the warning message during boot would
go on to create a filesystem with a size exceeding the
actual partition size. Now that the 32 bit overflow has been
corrected, such filesystems may refuse to mount with a
'filesystem exceeds partition size' error. Users should
either correct the partition size, or resize the filesystem
before attempting to boot a kernel with the RDB fixes in
place.
