[PATCH] nbd: allocate sufficient space for NBD_CMD_STATUS

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

 



The nest attribute NBD_ATTR_DEVICE_LIST was not accounted for when
allocating the message, resulting in -EMSGSIZE.

As __alloc_skb aligns size requests to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and SLUB will end up
allocating more than requested, this can hardly be reproduced on most
setups.

However, I managed to test this on a 32-bit x86 with 15 entries, by loading
with nbds_max=15. It failed with -EMSGSIZE, while it worked with 14 or 16
entries.
