Subject: [PATCH RFC] block: fix Amiga RDB partition support for disks >= 2 TB

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

 



From 5299e0e64dfb33ac3a1f3137b42178734ce20087 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

The Amiga RDB partition parser module uses int for partition sector
address and count, which will overflow for disks 2 TB and larger.

Use sector_t as type for sector address and size (as expected by
put_partition) to allow using such disks without danger of data
corruption.

This bug was reported originally in 2012 by Martin Steigerwald
<Martin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, and the fix was created by the RDB author,
Joanne Dow <jdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>. The patch had been discussed and
reviewed on linux-m68k at that time but never officially submitted.

Following a stern warning by Joanne, a warning is printed if any
partition is found to overflow the old 32 bit calculations, on the
grounds that such a partition would be misparses on legacy 32 bit
systems (other than Linux).
