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.

Thanks - now I notice the patch title for this one doesn't fit too well
anymore.
Would a change of title mess up the common patch tracking tools?
You mean changing one patch subject in v13?
Nah, happens all the time, so the tooling should handle that fine.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
