It didn't apply directly on top of 4.12 but even I can handle fixing that up. The result (just deleting the function and changing the call to a check for hp->dxfer_len >= SZ_256M) works fine and is at the end. So thanks. If this goes in, please CC to stable. - J< diff --git a/drivers/scsi/sg.c b/drivers/scsi/sg.c index 82c33a6..aa6f1de 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/sg.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/sg.c @@ -751,29 +751,6 @@ sg_new_write(Sg_fd *sfp, struct file *file, const char __user *buf, return count; } -static bool sg_is_valid_dxfer(sg_io_hdr_t *hp) -{ - switch (hp->dxfer_direction) { - case SG_DXFER_NONE: - if (hp->dxferp || hp->dxfer_len > 0) - return false; - return true; - case SG_DXFER_TO_DEV: - case SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV: - case SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV: - if (!hp->dxferp || hp->dxfer_len == 0) - return false; - return true; - case SG_DXFER_UNKNOWN: - if ((!hp->dxferp && hp->dxfer_len) || - (hp->dxferp && hp->dxfer_len == 0)) - return false; - return true; - default: - return false; - } -} - static int sg_common_write(Sg_fd * sfp, Sg_request * srp, unsigned char *cmnd, int timeout, int blocking) @@ -794,7 +771,7 @@ sg_common_write(Sg_fd * sfp, Sg_request * srp, "sg_common_write: scsi opcode=0x%02x, cmd_size=%d\n", (int) cmnd[0], (int) hp->cmd_len)); - if (!sg_is_valid_dxfer(hp)) + if (hp->dxfer_len >= SZ_256M) return -EINVAL; k = sg_start_req(srp, cmnd);
