The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is
allocated for the header. The HeaderSize field must be greater
than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.
It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.
For more details see UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009):
- 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page 93
- Table 13. GUID Partition Table Header, page 96

Currently, kernel uses strictly 512-byte sectors for EFI GPT parsing.
That's wrong.
UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.
This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.
The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:
# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=50 sector_size=4096
# ./parted /dev/sdb print
Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 52.4MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 24.6kB 3002kB 2978kB primary
2 3002kB 6001kB 2998kB primary
3 6001kB 9003kB 3002kB primary
# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
# dmesg | tail -1
sdb: unknown partition table <---- !!!
with this patch:
# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
# dmesg | tail -1
sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
