Subject: [PATCH master 1/5] fs: fat: pbl: support >32M alignment for first partition
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 08:49:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210922065000.20970-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210922065000.20970-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

The LBA of the first absolute sector in a partition is a 32-bit
field at offset 0x8 of a partition entry. The first such partition
entry is at offset 446 of the MBR.

The DOS partition parser adheres to this scheme, but the FAT code
contains a very basic partition parser as well that kicks in when
a disk couldn't be mounted as FAT: It will seek to the first FAT
partition in a MBR and mount that. This only happens with FAT PBL,
because in barebox proper, we use the actual partition parser.

The partition parser in FAT assumed starting LBA to be a 16-bit
value and thus failed to load a first FAT partition located more
than 0x10000 sectors into the image. Fix this.
