From: Israel Rukshin <israelr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

After setting indirect_sg_entries module_param to huge value (e.g
500,000),
srp_alloc_req_data() fails to allocate indirect descriptors for the
request
ring (kmalloc fails). This commit enforces the maximum value of
indirect_sg_entries
to be SG_MAX_SEGMENTS as signified in module param description.

This patch is a fix patch and should have been tagged as such.
 However, the proper tagging is complicated by the fact that the
SG_MAX_SEGMENTS was originally named SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_SEGMENTS.  The
fix applies all the way back to the first patch to enable SG segments
in the srp driver, but you will need a different patch for the kernels
prior to the rename.  For this patch, I've added the following tags and
applied the patch:

Fixes: 65e8617fba17 (scsi: rename SCSI_MAX_{SG, SG_CHAIN}_SEGMENTS)
Fixes: c07d424d6118 (IB/srp: add support for indirect tables that don't
fit in SRP_CMD)
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.7+

Someone should write a patch for the earlier kernels and submit it
directly to stable@ with the patch flagged for application on kernels
from 2.6.39 to 4.6.  The upstream hash for the fix to mainline is:

commit 0a475ef4226e305bdcffe12b401ca1eab06c4913

    IB/srp: fix invalid indirect_sg_entries parameter value


Israel,
please take it for earlier kernels as well.

Max.
