Subject: [PATCH v3 25/33] swim: Don't search beyond the first data mark
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:26:36 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f6c97153faa0aceceffd3a61d85c0a82903a6b3e.1788513997.git.fthain@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1788513996.git.fthain@linux-m68k.org>
The ISM chip does an automatic MFM gap/sync search when the Action bit
is first set. That search may stop at any of a) post-index gap, b) address
field gap or c) data field gap. To find the next sector header, the
driver need not search at all. It only has to validate the mark bytes.
Once the sector address mark has been validated, swim_read_sector_data()
is called to read the sector contents. Between the sector address and
data fields lies an intra-sector gap followed by a data field mark.
After this mark is validated, the 512-byte data area is read into the
IO request buffer.
Problem is, if any byte in the data field mark is mis-read, the driver
searches the whole sector and then reaches the data field mark in the
following sector. The wrong sector is then read into the buffer, and
swim_read_sector_data() returns success. The request is silently
corrupted.
The existing limit on polling loop iterations does constrain the search
distance but is inherently tied to CPU speed. This is probably the reason
why corruption was only observed on a 68030 system.
Discontinue the mark search when the mark bytes fail validation.
