From 61fcc7d2757bc5d6bf52739e4fc7132b5fa84efe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hector Palacios Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:48:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] part_efi: fix protective mbr struct allocation The calloc() call was allocating space for the sizeof the struct pointer rather than for the struct contents. Besides, since this buffer is passed to mmc for writing and some platforms may use cache, the legacy_mbr struct should be cache-aligned.
