From: Jan Höppner <hoeppner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When reading unformatted tracks on ESE devices, the corresponding memory areas are simply set to zero for each segment. This is done incorrectly for blocksizes < 4096. There are two problems. First, the increment of dst is done using the counter of the loop (off), which is increased by blksize every iteration. This leads to a much bigger increment for dst as actually intended. Second, the increment of dst is done before the memory area is set to 0, skipping a significant amount of bytes of memory. This leads to illegal overwriting of memory and ultimately to a kernel panic. This is not a problem with 4k blocksize because blk_queue_max_segment_size is set to PAGE_SIZE, always resulting in a single iteration for the inner segment loop (bv.bv_len == blksize). The incorrectly used 'off' value to increment dst is 0 and the correct memory area is used. In order to fix this for blksize < 4k, increment dst correctly using the blksize and only do it at the end of the loop.
