Hi Christian,
[ added Martin Steigerwald in CC ]
thanks for your bug report (and of course, for testing the patch in the
first instance)!

Haven't see this one in any of my tests. I wonder whether your
partitioning software used that value of 4294967295 (32 bit unsigned int
max.) as marker for the end of the partition list, instead of NULL? It's
clearly beyond the end of your disk, so cannot be a legitimate partition
block address. (The parted dump above (showing only four partitions)
appears to support that notion.)
Could you please create a dump of the RDB (first 4 MB of the disk ought
to be enough) and send that?

That's the 32 bit overflow that the patch series was meant to correct.
Parsing the partition table ends before looking at the next partition
block in the list, so we never hit the bug you've seen above.
By reverting my patch, you just reintroduce the old bug, which could
result in mis-parsing the partition table in a way that is not detected
by inane values of partition sizes as above, and as far as I recall this
bug was reported because it did cause data corruption. Do I have that
correct, Martin? Do you still have a copy of the problematic RDB from
the old bug report around?

The patch series has undergone the usual thirteen versions in review,
but the reviewers as well as myself may well have missed this point of
detail...
Could you please check this (whitespace-damaged) patch?
block/partitions - Amiga partition overflow fix bugfix
Making 'blk' sector_t (i.e. 64 bit if LBD support is active)
fails the 'blk>0' test in the partition block loop if a
value of (signed int) -1 is used to mark the end of the
partition block list.
Explicitly cast 'blk' to signed int to catch this.
