A quick look at this reveals that smartctl will happily do a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE ioctl with sge_count = 1 and sgl[0].iov_len = 0 if it is sending a command with dataLen == 0 : /* Issue passthrough scsi command to PERC5/6 controllers */ bool linux_megaraid_device::megasas_cmd(int cdbLen, void *cdb, int dataLen, void *data, int /*senseLen*/, void * /*sense*/, int /*report*/) { struct megasas_pthru_frame *pthru; struct megasas_iocpacket uio; struct megasas_iocpacket uio; int rc; memset(&uio, 0, sizeof(uio)); pthru = (struct megasas_pthru_frame *)uio.frame.raw; pthru->cmd = MFI_CMD_PD_SCSI_IO; int rc; memset(&uio, 0, sizeof(uio)); pthru = (struct megasas_pthru_frame *)uio.frame.raw; pthru->cmd = MFI_CMD_PD_SCSI_IO; pthru->cmd_status = 0xFF; pthru->scsi_status = 0x0; pthru->target_id = m_disknum; pthru->lun = 0; pthru->cdb_len = cdbLen; pthru->timeout = 0; pthru->flags = MFI_FRAME_DIR_READ; pthru->sge_count = 1; pthru->data_xfer_len = dataLen; pthru->sgl.sge32[0].phys_addr = (intptr_t)data; pthru->sgl.sge32[0].length = (uint32_t)dataLen; memcpy(pthru->cdb, cdb, cdbLen); uio.host_no = m_hba; uio.sge_count = 1; uio.sgl_off = offsetof(struct megasas_pthru_frame, sgl); uio.sgl[0].iov_base = data; uio.sgl[0].iov_len = dataLen; rc = 0; errno = 0; rc = ioctl(m_fd, MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE, &uio); if (pthru->cmd_status || rc != 0) { if (pthru->cmd_status == 12) { return set_err(EIO, "megasas_cmd: Device %d does not exist\n", m_disknum); } return set_err((errno ? errno : EIO), "megasas_cmd result: %d.%d = %d/%d", m_hba, m_disknum, errno, pthru->cmd_status); } return true; } The kernel bug is that the zero valued sgl[0].iov_len is passed unmodified to megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl() which again passes it on as size to dma_alloc_coherent(): /* * For each user buffer, create a mirror buffer and copy in */ for (i = 0; i < ioc->sge_count; i++) { kbuff_arr[i] = dma_alloc_coherent(&instance->pdev->dev, ioc->sgl[i].iov_len, &buf_handle, GFP_KERNEL); And it looks like most (all?) of the dma_alloc_coherent() implementations will use get_order(size) to compute the necessary allocation. This will fail if size == 0. On the other hand, I may have misunderstood this entirely.... But if you dare, you could try the attached patch (compile tested only as I don't have the hardware) and see if it helps. Let me know how it goes, and I'll forward it to the megaraid manitainers if it really fixes your problem. BjÃrn
