I guess "start_sect + nr_sects > UINT_MAX" is sufficient?
No, we need to catch any partition address overflowing. nr_sects >
UINT_MAX may be redundant though.
The three tests may have been needed when both variables were 32-bit,
but when using unsigned 64-bit arithmetic, it shouldn't matter: if any of the
two values doesn't fit in 32-bit, the sum also doesn't.
Right, got it now. Too late for v2 of the patch ...
I just see I've messed up some other things (duplicate types.h
inclusion) - I'll have to respin anyway. I'll hold off on that waiting
for futher feedback for now.
Or is this also used to catch 64-bit add overflow? In that case, please use
check_add_overflow().
No, the start sector is directly calculated from what's stored in the
DosEnvVec struct (or whatever the precise name was), as product of four
32 bit numbers. nr_sects is calculated from the 32 bit cylinder address
difference and the other three 32 bit numbers, no addition overflow there.
I would remove the did_warn check, as multiple partitions may be affected.
Any partition overflowing means danger lurks (in AmigaDOS of
sufficient vintage, that is)
Yes, that's what I meant: dropping the did_warn check means always printing
the warning, not just for the first "unusable" partition.
Yes, I've done that now.
No need for pr_cont(), just merge the two statements.
Checkpatch catch-22 (thou shalt not exceed 80 cols, thou shalt not
split string consts over multiple lines, and thou shalt not use
pr_cont() without good cause). I'll ignore the 80 cols error then.
That's the sane thing to do: single pr_warn() statement, and ignoring the 80
columns error if it would mean splitting the string, so people can easily
grep for it when they see the message on their consoles.
True - and there isn't a checkpatch error for overlong format strings
these days (there might have been at some time, which I remembered).
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Michael
