The DASD driver incorrectly limits the maximum number of blocks of ECKD
DASD volumes to 32 bit numbers. Volumes with a capacity greater than
2^32-1 blocks are incorrectly recognized as smaller volumes.
This results in the following volume capacity limits depending on the
formatted block size:
BLKSIZE MAX_GB MAX_CYL
512 2047 5843492
1024 4095 8676701
2048 8191 13634816
4096 16383 23860929
The same problem occurs when a volume with more than 17895697 cylinders
is accessed in raw-track-access mode.
Fix this problem by adding an explicit type cast when calculating the
maximum number of blocks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
