The Amiga partition parser module uses signed int for partition sector address and count, which will overflow for disks larger than 1 TB. Use sector_t 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. This bug was reported originally in 2012, and the fix was created by the RDB author, Joanne Dow <jdow@earthlink.net>. A patch had been discussed and reviewed on linux-m68k at that time but never officially submitted. This patch differs from Joanne's patch only in its use of sector_t instead of unsigned int. No checking for overflows is done (see patch 3 of this series for that). Reported-by: Martin Steigerwald <Martin@lichtvoll.de> Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43511 Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Message-ID: <201206192146.09327.Martin@lichtvoll.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.2 Signed-off-by: Michael Schmitz <schmitzmic@gmail.com> Tested-by: Martin Steigerwald <Martin@lichtvoll.de> Reviewed-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> --- Changes from v3: - split off change of sector address type as quick fix. - cast to sector_t in sector address calculations. - move overflow checking to separate patch for more thorough review. Changes from v4: Andreas Schwab: - correct cast to sector_t in sector address calculations Changes from v7: Christoph Hellwig - correct style issues Changes from v9: - add Fixes: tags and stable backport prereq --- block/partitions/amiga.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
