Alec Brown 95e614a11b fs/zfs/zfs: Avoid pointer downcasting in dnode_get()
Coverity marks multiple issues in grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c as either "Untrusted
value as argument", "Untrusted pointer read", or "Untrusted loop bound". Each
of these issues share a common cause where Coverity finds that data->dnode_buf
gets tainted by dnbuf since it is downcasting from (void *) to (dnode_phys_t *)
and could imply that the data the pointer points to is tainted. However, the
function zio_read(), which reads this data from disk, sanitizes this data by
verifying its checksum. To resolve the issues for Coverity, setting dnbuf to
(dnode_phys_t *) at the start of the function dnode_get() seems to do the trick.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc.

If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY
file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to
the maintainers.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
