Making 'blk' sector_t (i.e. 64 bit if LBD support is active) fails the 'blk>0' test in the partition block loop if a value of (signed int) -1 is used to mark the end of the partition block list.
This bug was introduced in patch 3 of my prior Amiga partition support fixes series, and spotted by Christian Zigotzky when testing the latest block updates.
Explicitly cast 'blk' to signed int to allow use of -1 to terminate the partition block linked list.

Hello Michael,
Thanks for your patch.
I patched the latest git kernel source code with your patch today but unfortunately the kernel has reported a bad geometry. (EXT4-fs (sda4): bad geometry: block count ...)
dmesg | grep -i sda

Good - all partitions are recognized again as they ought to be.
[ 4.551981] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk [ 82.421727] EXT4-fs (sda4): bad geometry: block count 319655862 exceeds size of device (317690430 blocks)
Now that may be a new bug... or just a filesystem created with incorrect assumptions about partition size.
That is the partition that had reported:
sda: p4 size 18446744071956107760 extends beyond EOD, truncated
with my patches backed out? I wonder what size mkfs used when creating the filesystem?
The calculated size was clearly incorrect, but the truncated size may also be incorrect. The truncated size is likely that of a partition extending to the end of the disk, but your actual p4 size may have been smaller (your parted -l output had 1992GB which is 8 GB shorter than to EOD).
On the face of it, this does not look like a new bug in the RDB partition code, but I'd rather verify that by inspecting the RDB contents and carrying out the calculations by hand.
Can you please send a copy of the RDB (first few kB of the disk, something like dd if=/dev/sda of=rdb-sda.img bs=512 count=16 should do), and the output of cat /proc/partitions when running a kernel from before my RDB patches?
I can't mount the ext4 partition on the RDB disk and booting isn't possible as well.
I suppose the ext4 filesystem must be resized to match the actual partition size. I don't think that can be done on a live, mounted filesystem. You may have to hook up the disk to another Linux host for that, and use resize2fs there (or boot a ramdisk containing that tool).
Cheers,
Michael
Thanks, Christian
