Subject: [PATCH] bootconfig: Extend the magic check range to the preceding 3 bytes
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 02:27:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <160520205132.303174.4876760192433315429.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201113003633.8db2b4e4c5fecf8de0adfa65@kernel.org>

Since Grub may align the size of initrd to 4 if user pass
initrd from cpio, we have to check the preceding 3 bytes as well.

Fixes: 85c46b78da58 ("bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly")
