[PATCH] bcache: fix NULL pointer deref in blk_add_request_payload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



bch_generic_make_request_hack() tries to be smart,
and fake a bi_max_bvecs = bi_vcnt.

If those bios have been REQ_DISCARD, and get submitted to a driver
(md raid) that uses bio_clone, the clone will end up with bi_io_vec == NULL,
passed down the stack, end up in sd_prep_fn and blk_add_request_payload,
which then tries to use bio->bi_io_vec->page.

Fix: try to be even smarter in bch_generic_make_request_hack(),
and always pretend to have at least bi_max_vecs of 1,
unless the incoming bio was already created without a single bvec.
