Subject: [PATCH] libata: Avoid overflow in ata_tf_to_lba48() when tf->hba_lbal > 127
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:52:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ada4p2wmg5n.fsf_-_@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7a9b5c320810281625kbf8904x9ba432ff0ca8c2f8@mail.gmail.com> (Phillip O'Donnell's message of "Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:25:47 +1300")
In ata_tf_to_lba48(), when evaluating
(tf->hob_lbal & 0xff) << 24
the expression is promoted to signed int (since int can hold all values
of u8). However, if hob_lbal is 128 or more, then it is treated as a
negative signed value and sign-extended when promoted to u64 to | into
sectors, which leads to the MSB 32 bits of section getting set
incorrectly.
For example, Phillip O'Donnell <phillip.odonnell@gmail.com> reported
that a 1.5GB drive caused:
ata3.00: HPA detected: current 2930277168, native 18446744072344861488
where 2930277168 == 0xAEA87B30 and 18446744072344861488 == 0xffffffffaea87b30
which shows the problem when hob_lbal is 0xae.
Fix this by adding a cast to u64, just as is used by for hob_lbah and
hob_lbam in the function.

Phillip, this should fix at least your cosmetic issue; can you test it
and report back?
Thanks,
Roland
