The Amiga partition parser module uses signed int for partition sector
address and count, which will overflow for disks larger than 1 TB.
Use u64 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. The RBD
format allows to specify disk sizes up to 2^128 bytes (though native
OS limitations reduce this somewhat, to max 2^68 bytes), so check for
u64 overflow carefully to protect against overflowing sector_t.
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 (now resubmitted as patch 1 of this series).
Patch 3 (this series) adds additional error checking and warning
messages. One of the error checks now makes use of the previously
unused rdb_CylBlocks field, which causes a 'sparse' warning
(cast to restricted __be32).
Annotate all 32 bit fields in affs_hardblocks.h as __be32, as the
on-disk format of RDB and partition blocks is always big endian.
