Package: libefivar1
Version: 30-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Part of the code in linux.c uses "st_rdev >> 8" and "st_rdev & 0xFF" to find
the major and minor device number for the disk to install. It was correct a
long time ago but it has been quite some time that both major and minor can
exceed 8 bits. The libc provides macros to extract the major and minor;
another part of the same file uses these macros. Furthermore, the field
containing the minor is declared as unsigned char, making it 8 bits.

The result is a failure to prepare boot variables, making grub-install fail
for example, for a device with a minor >= 256. The device I needed to use
was 179:256. Running with strace showed an attempt to access
/sys/dev/block/4275:0 instead of /sys/dev/block/179:256 that would have been
correct considering the previous system call was fstat() showing
"st_rdev=makedev(179, 256)". You can notice that 179+256*16 = 4275.

The attached patch fixes things.

Regards,
