Look again; I switched from primary_gpt->AlternateLBA to
gpt_disk_data->AlternateLBA, which already has been converted on the
previous line.

I don't understand what you mean by this.

We do. This code is in the read path, not the write path. It only
avoids throwing an incorrect error in the event that the disk has grown.

As I said before, we don't want to drop this error if the backup
really is in the wrong place; we just don't want to have duplicate
errors that are both caused by the disk growing.

No, it won't. The extra space check only looks to see if there is
room to increase LastUsableLBA. That may be fine, but AlternateLBA is
not the last sector of the disk.
There are two distinct errors here that have some overlap. Picture a
venn diagram of the two errors. The region where they overlap is when
the disk has grown, in which case, we only want to show the extra
space error, but they also have distinct, non overlapping regions.

That can't work either:
1 - you dropped PED_LE64_TO_CPU
2 - if the PE count doesn't match the amount of space between the start
and the backup.
3 - when we fix the backup we *must* write it to length-1, not to the
possibly incorrect gpt_disk_end.
I think we're better off dropping one or the other of these prompts.
I've accepted the inevitability of leaving the header in place and using
it as is, I'm fine with those bits of the patches.
The check for extra space will catch a out of position backup, there's
no need to have two different ways to check. Either the backup is at
length-1 or there is extra space.
I'll revisit your comments about last_usable_min_default tomorrow.

If so, that is incorrect > behavior. The purpose is to keep the backup where it is if the user says to ignore the "error" and if the "error" is that the disk has grown, then just say the disk has grown, without first complaining that the backup is in the "wrong" place ( since it is in fact, in the right place if you are going by the old size of the disk ). In other words, if we know that the backup being in the wrong place is purely a side effect of the disk growing, then don't treat it as a separate error; it will be handled as part of the disk growing error. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTNbHmAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwYEkIAIMxb7P5U97aw3PbemMDOhwg GuOlE7/6FHZRbEtAzXJM6VGiKB/td+WnGoijbjiR+LcC6qEMJdhoFHWvLE9GNMy3 F4sFZKSglQmQhKexRl0m6MDVH6F15GLruDjBCwAJz92C3V6PCMQ59OKNECf/WgrR JwwcH2F9Z00cLTOQ0JrCRKI25HiIaNBP8ytHue14fauIWEfNyFVKlpFUeAHcaQWT nuMF+sFn5HuNsrOcwUjjn4HGlQ/tI1jiz+0ym1wB0E9dSM5/2oTEU8C3l5wq53FI HZfb8XfwA6FLqA49Nezc2xxr0B8ZUiDrUM6pPRVqE8F2h+avBdq22kXpc2u34HU= =NDOt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

No, this would still set the new end to gpt_disk_end which is the
calculation I was complaining about. You cannot assume that the PTE will
start right after LastUsableLBA, you have to use the backup's
PartitionEntryLBA for any calculations related to that.
When the new backup is written it *must* be written to disk->dev->length
- 1, there is no flexibility there. And because the
gpt_disk_data->data_area is initialized to the disk size it will
automatically update the LastUsableLBA when it rewrites the headers.
With these changes are you trying to keep the backup at the wrong place
AND change the LastUsableLBA? If so, that is incorrect behavior.

The goal is that if it isn't at LastUableLBA+1, then we offer to grow the table to use the extra space, rather than complain first that the backup is in the wrong location, and *then* offer to use the extra space. > In summary: * I am pretty confident that my patches are correct They completely revert the behavioral fixes of my previously applied patches, which is why you needed the second patch to fix the other test to check for *both* errors. > * We may need additional changes to remove the 'do you want to > grow' prompt. I think we probably do. It is the wrong location prompt that we don't want to get when the disk has grown.

t0210-gpt-resized-partition-entry-array failed because gpt-header-munge
did not relocate the LastUsableLBA to agree with the smaller table size.
This caused parted to complain that the backup was not at the end of the
disk ( as indicated by LastUsableLBA ), when in fact, it was. Accept
the current AlternateLBA if it is *either* in the right place relative
to LastUsableLBA, or the last sector of the disk.

Ok, now I'm not seeing that odd 2g problem. Maybe before I was running it on a 32 bit machine? Anyhow, the problem is that gpt-header-munge shrinks the table but doesn't update LastUsableLba to agree. It should do that, but I suppose we could put the two tests together. If the backup is *either* at the last sector, *or* the right location relative to LastUsableLba, then it's in the right place. Following up with a patch to do this. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJTNLyMAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrw7DAH/j8v8CxDVlRNGsOVYEs7v9hp LfXsiKEvV/shIa89IOjOZCRYiBESNxNBoRqhlgujrlCKhlB0GCHTsZwdWxQy3nst /goTdl4gFwKZ/oCZ44SGM9jNpy2eTpwodgPZOIejerRq0a+mzbc5g5PL7xdpreai jZMKNWTHzxm6ruQt75Img8YyZO7rrxPyOljAB8L6PV2Rf7M4DE6hTkWzZ7sM1PFu GpGAwHfk7jFBmGEPylg9uC78eP60/swp+aXeSHmOcnylT/ZaPQEkvi1nK2uEdWa0 r5wRkIu976djJ2QTAfgC81SdMJjf4ZFIu6kL6zLPxlAS7xkkgrD6pNEuk+A91VE= =FfJR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I think we should remove the second prompt and only check for header at end of disk. When we fix the header location we should also be adjusting LastUsableLBA based on the disk size anyway. Also note that the existing calculations for the backup partition table entries are relative to AlternateLBA, not LastUsableLBA. In practice when parted operates on things there is no difference, but according to the comments in t0210 others may not do the same thing and there is nothing in the UEFI spec that guarantees that the PTE will start at LastUsableLBA+1 -- that's why the header has a pointer to the start of the PTE instead of just calculating it. In summary: * I am pretty confident that my patches are correct * We may need additional changes to remove the 'do you want to grow' prompt. I think we probably do. -- Brian C.

But LastUsableLba still says it's 20mb. This caused parted to complain that the backup was in the wrong place. Parted is correct here: the backup *is* in the wrong place, since it is at the end of where *we* think the disk is rather than where the header thinks it is. I changed the code to be this way in the first place so that this complaint would not be triggered by growing a disk, leaving both the LastUableLba and backup locations unchanged. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTNFgDAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwFmwH/1cXVkFUlJzQTEYnKKraaq90 9x8uhUpvfTRHwBVoOBTqBxawNZ0WrzDaMqUwE6k1S25JltpuVLarAOYSNXWj1WCd tHDpzgo6XwYmpTF+TqHbiBxnFCIBOC+ncUEMa9isFKgx2SsGdnoBbNxSN9bmZebB l00bK7vHKI8NaPt7mWcOR4KcgVo4dNMpbSRXtCwCZMyzonh//d6Qs1kR8wTWMHYd uM12baAUkMizKskmA2ucLe0jvwCgRnUqI3elEEUumTICG57EP17vNElka8MfF3RC JNcT9YzI/OE8oBZa3KwJzaO2VPSxDR9m5cmjaAL95oOtCkqaQoCARj2INdjvROo= =BPT4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The reason the calculation is that way rather than last sector of the disk - 1 is because if you have a disk that has been extended, then the backup is no longer at last sector - 1. By changing it back to last sector - 1, you will be looking for it in the wrong place after the disk has grown. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTNFCUAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwqTkH/1ggCHfISIXSrCGaqYp9GX7V 09AEFulpwpV9ShJ04QbfBS7s9ShQQBJMds++2QyJpcXCVVG9TARynCAhZ9vSg/Ov tNSDGlA/6DJQ+Bzs/mQNX3WyG0bEkrOlv9P+X+YBw+hT0f7ARRpsbSurnEHS565p rVnNkjgvlZuIx/tVE75JZhB8aAHw3JVMjQ7W2XZ77gziMQmn+QB9Ox0/Qluxe8yv hSk6lXFthvGZ0XHhl9zcyRjXBF7cFkfe6yISxSX3WEMYvx8MMbdeZms3k9XYRqWQ C2DRBjVHX15T2vptL1uD4IhHUT4yi0P1hHe660i8tBhmRwp9uRbsmNgzHE9c0eg= =bDhE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Ok, I'll check to make sure that isn't the case -- I thought the location was updated when it was rewritten, but I'll double check. But the basic problem here is that you are making calculations that are invalid, as revealed by the failing test. You cannot count on the AlternateLBA always being at the block after LastUsableLBA+Partition entries. This *may* be true, but it isn't guaranteed to be true. -- Brian C.

I mentioned recently that t0210 was failing, but when I looked it it,
it looked to me like the script was broken and was underflowing a
variable, causing it to write the backup to a location near 2 TiB,
rather than at the end of the much smaller "disk". In other words,
the script initially creates a 2M loop file, and after running
gpt-header-munge on it, it is now a 2 TiB file. This is clearly an
error in gpt-heade-munge, rather than parted.

While this is true, the patch below regresses what I fixed before,
which is that if the AlternateLBA says it does not go at the end of
the disk, and we don't fix that, then we write it to the end of the
disk anyhow. This is incorrect. If we don't fix AlternateLBA to
point to the right location relative to the end of the disk, then we
need to actually write the backup to where AlternateLBA says it is,
even if that isn't where it should be. With this patch, we write the
backup to where it should be, but the header now claims it is in
another location.

commit 9e9588c71e introduced a problem with how the backup gpt
partition's location was checked, and where it was re-written. It was
using LastUsableLBA plus an offset based on the number of partition
entries. This will not always match up with the end of the disk. eg.
during t0210 where the number of partitions is set to 9 instead of 128.
The only way to check the AlternateLBA is against the size of the disk.
If it isn't in LBA - 1 then it is in the wrong place.
The outcome was that t0210 and t0211 were failing becase the location
that it tried to move the backup to was also invalid.
