Attached is a patch to fix a few bugs in the pktcdvd driver and udf
filesystem. Ben Collins said I should post it to the list and cc Jens
Axboe as he works on this area. The patch is rather short, but fixes
the following bugs:
1) The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet
length obtained from the disc track info. This causes it to overflow
packet length values of 128 sectors or more. I changed the field to 32
bits to fix this.
2) The pktcdvd driver defaulted to it's maximum allowed packet length
when it detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail
the operation and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than
attempting to access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.
3) The pktcdvd driver uses a compile time macro constant to define the
maximum supported packet length. I changed this from 32 sectors to 128
sectors because that allows over 100 MB of additional usable space on a
700 MB cdrw, and increases throughput.
4) The UDF filesystem refused to update the file's uid and gid on the
disk if the in memory inode's id matched the values in the uid= and gid=
mount options. This was causing the owner to change from the desktop
user to root when the volume was ejected and remounted. I changed this
so that if the inode's id matches the mount option, it writes a -1 to
disk, because when the filesystem reads a -1 from disk, it uses the
mount option for the in memory inode. This allows you to use the
uid/gid mount options in the way you would expect.
At some point I hope to find the time to refactor pktcdvd to properly
allocate buffers of the length specified on the disc rather than the
compile time maximum, but that will be a larger change and require more
testing.
