  • 1493bf217   block: use struct parsed_partitions *state universally in partition check code ... Browse Code »

    Make the following changes to partition check code.

    * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

    * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
    read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
    instead of @bdev.

    * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
    functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

    * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

    This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
    during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
    much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
    paths.

  • 3961bae0a   [PARTITION]: Sun/Solaris VTOC table corrections ... Browse Code »

    Start doing VTOC validation before using its contents.
    The validation is adjusted so as not to break existing setups
    that do not set the VTOC version, sanity and partition count entries.
    VTOC tables with more than 8 partitions will NOT be used.

  • d18d7682c   [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. ... Browse Code »

    Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
    span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and
    this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
    extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
    and do other things.

    Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
    because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
    So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
    we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this
    'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
    partition.

  • 81a42d298   [DISKLABEL] SUN: Fix signed int usage for sector count ... Browse Code »

    The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count.
    When partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes
    the partition sizes to be invalid:

    # cat /proc/paritions | grep sdan
    66 112 2146435072 sdan
    66 115 9223372036853660736 sdan3
    66 120 9223372036853660736 sdan8

    This patch switches the sector count to an unsigned int to fix this.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
