But I suppose __scsi_execute() is still a public API (so should still check); but, by that same token, we have no sanity check for args.sense_len value here then. Is it possible to make __scsi_execute() non-public or move/add the check for proper sense_len here? I'm being extra cautious about this, I suppose. > Do people want the BUILD_BUG_ON we have now or a WARN/BUG? > > If we move to a single check in __scsi_execute or some non-macro wrapper > around it then we have to do a WARN/BUG.

It looks like some compilers don't like: const struct scsi_exec_args exec_args = { .sshdr = &sshdr, }; scsi_execute_args(.... exec_args); and will hit the: #define scsi_execute_args(sdev, cmd, opf, buffer, bufflen, timeout, \ retries, args) \ ({ \ BUILD_BUG_ON(args.sense && \ args.sense_len != SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE); \ because the args's sense and sense_len are not cleared yet.
