[PATCH] hfsplus: Prevent overflows in comparisons


From: Dave Vasilevsky
Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: Prevent overflows in comparisons
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 02:28:54 -0500

When very high Catalog Node IDs are in use, comparing CNIDs via
subtraction may overflow. This causes files and folders to appear to be
missing in the btree. It's safer to just use comparison operations
rather than subtraction.

Also fixes the parent field in grub_hfsplus_catkey_internal, which is
currently using an unqualified int to hold an unsigned value.
