Large (> 1 TiB) UDF filesystems appear subject to several problems when mounted on 64-bit systems: * readdir() can fail on a directory containing File Identifiers residing above 0x7FFFFFFF. This manifests as a 'ls' command failing with EIO. * FIBMAP on a file block located above 0x7FFFFFFF can return a negative value. The low 32 bits are correct, but applications that don't mask the high 32 bits of the result can perform incorrectly. Per suggestion by Jan Kara, introduce a udf_pblk_t type for representation of UDF block addresses. Ultimately, all driver functions that manipulate UDF block addresses should use this type; for now, deployment is limited to functions with actual or potential sign extension issues. Changes to udf_readdir() and udf_block_map() address the issues noted above; other changes address potential similar issues uncovered during audit of the driver code. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
