Re: [PATCH v7 2/2] block: add overflow checks for Amiga partition support

[Michael Schmitz <schmitzmic@gmail.com>]

Hi Jens,

there's been quite a bit of review on this patch series back in the day 
(most of that would have been on linux-m68k IIRC; see Geert's 
Reviewed-By tag), and I addressed the issues raised but as you say, it 
did never get merged.

I've found a copy of the linux-block repo that has these patches, will 
see if I can get them updated to apply to current linux-block.

Cheers,

     Michael
