Description of problem: Per this commit headed for upstream: From: Roland Dreier <rdreier> Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:52:20 +0000 (-0700) Subject: libata: Avoid overflow in ata_tf_to_lba48() when tf->hba_lbal > 127 X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Fjgarzik%2Flibata-dev.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba14a9c291aa867896a90b3571fcc1c3759942ff libata: Avoid overflow in ata_tf_to_lba48() when tf->hba_lbal > 127 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> 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.
