Subject: [Qemu-devel] S390: file size checking in load_image_targphys and certain ram sizes
Date: Thu, 03 May 2012 15:36:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FA289D1.60700@de.ibm.com> (raw)
Ben, Alex,
commit 17df768c1e4580f03301d18ea938d3557d441911
load_image_targphys() should enforce the max size
caused some problems with external kernel and specific ram sizes on s390:
We load the external kernel with
[...]
kernel_size = load_image_targphys(kernel_filename, 0, ram_size);
[...]
The problem is now, that load_image_targphys has max_sz as an int (32bit), but
ram_size is a ram_addr_t (64bit).
So for a ramsize of lets say 3GB the comparison in load_image_targphys fails:
if (size > max_sz) {
return -1;
}
There are several potential ways of solving, suggestions for a better solution
than the patch below are welcome.
