Hi Andrew,
After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) produced this warning:
block/partitions/efi.c: In function 'is_gpt_valid':
block/partitions/efi.c:324:3: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'unsigned int' [-Wformat]
Introduced by commit ef25bb0fa6e2 ("block/partitions/efi.c: ensure that
the GPT header is at least the size of the structure").

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au

This completely replaces the ef25bb0fa6e2 patch. Andrew, if you'd prefer a single-line fixup patch, I can send you that instead. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
* [PATCH] block/partitions/efi.c: ensure that the GPT header is at least the size of the structure. 2013-02-20 14:37 ` Peter Jones @ 2013-02-20 14:37 ` Peter Jones 2013-02-20 21:08 ` Stephen Rothwell 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Peter Jones @ 2013-02-20 14:37 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Matt Fleming, Jens Axboe, Stephen Warren, Andrew Morton, linux-kernel, linux-next, Peter Jones UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all. The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify any data.
