[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] MdeModulePkg/Bus/Ata/AtaAtapiPassThru: Fix SIGN_EXTENSION Coverity issue

[Ranbir Singh]

Please read the Coverity report attached in BZ 4204 for more details on
sign-extension issue.

The data types of logic_sector_size_hi and logic_sector_size_lo are UINT16
and Isn't the return type of *sizeof* already unsigned ?

Now I have no means to run Coverity and test further changes.
Anyway, my understanding back then was that the sign-extension was
primarily happening because of the 16 bits left shift operation. I did test
the patch for coverity warning resolution back in Jan'23 which went off.
