From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> syzkaller hit a WARN() in ata_bmdma_qc_issue() when writing to /dev/sg0. This happened because it issued an ATA pass-through command (ATA_16) where the protocol field indicated that NCQ should be used -- but the device did not support NCQ. We could just remove the WARN() from libata-sff.c, but the real problem seems to be that the SCSI -> ATA translation code passes through NCQ commands without verifying that the device actually supports NCQ. Fix this by adding the appropriate check to ata_scsi_pass_thru(). Here's reproducer that works in QEMU when /dev/sg0 refers to a disk of the default type ("82371SB PIIX3 IDE"): #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { char buf[53] = { 0 }; buf[36] = 0x85; /* ATA_16 */ buf[37] = (12 << 1); /* FPDMA */ buf[38] = 0x1; /* Has data */ buf[51] = 0xC8; /* ATA_CMD_READ */ write(open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR), buf, sizeof(buf)); } Fixes: ee7fb331c3ac ("libata: add support for NCQ commands for SG interface") Reported-by: syzbot+2f69ca28df61bdfc77cd36af2e789850355a221e@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v4.4+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c index 47d421666451c..197e110f8ac75 100644 --- a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c +++ b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c @@ -3316,6 +3316,12 @@ static unsigned int ata_scsi_pass_thru(struct ata_queued_cmd *qc) goto invalid_fld; } + /* We may not issue NCQ commands to devices not supporting NCQ */ + if (ata_is_ncq(tf->protocol) && !ata_ncq_enabled(dev)) { + fp = 1; + goto invalid_fld; + } + /* sanity check for pio multi commands */ if ((cdb[1] & 0xe0) && !is_multi_taskfile(tf)) { fp = 1; -- 2.16.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
