Peter Oberparleiter 2cc9637ce8 s390/dasd: Fix capacity calculation for large volumes
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.
