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).

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(-)
