The virtio scsi spec defines struct virtio_scsi_ctrl_tmf as a set of device-readable records and a single device-writable response entry: struct virtio_scsi_ctrl_tmf { // Device-readable part le32 type; le32 subtype; u8 lun[8]; le64 id; // Device-writable part u8 response; } The above should be organised as two descriptor entries (or potentially more if using VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT), but without any extra data after "le64 id" or after "u8 response". The Linux driver doesn't respect that, with virtscsi_abort() and virtscsi_device_reset() setting cmd->sc before calling virtscsi_tmf(). It results in the original scsi command payload (or writable buffers) added to the tmf. This fixes the problem by leaving cmd->sc zeroed out, which makes virtscsi_kick_cmd() add the tmf to the control vq without any payload.
