Red Hat Bugzilla 623667 0 low CLOSED seeker hits random bytes unaligened 2022-05-16 11:32:56 UTC

Description aurhb20 2021-02-14 11:41:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
The #623667 patch uses memalign() without corresponding #include, causing the compiler to implicitly truncate the return value to 32-bit int.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0-21

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run seeker <any blockdev> on an x86-64 machine.

Actual results:
seeker fails with read: Bad address

Expected results:
seeker works successfully.

Additional info:
The patch also removes support for (ancient) libc w/o BLKGETSIZE64, which was broken anyway--BLKGETSIZE returns size in units of sectors (512), not bytes (1).
