What you see was just exposed by: commit b80ca4f7ee36c26d300c5a8f429e73372d153379 Author: FUJITA Tomonori <tomof@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jan 13 15:46:13 2008 +0900 [SCSI] replace sizeof sense_buffer with This replaces sizeof sense_buffer with SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE in several LLDs. It's a preparation for the future changes to remove sense_buffer array in scsi_cmnd structure. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> But this is not a simple replace sizeof sense_buffer with SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE It has a side effect. Take a look a this portion of the commit: --- a/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_glue.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_glue.c @@ -207,10 +207,9 @@ void sym_set_cam_result_error(struct sym_hcb *np, struct sym_ccb *cp, int resid) /* * Bounce back the sense data to user. */ - memset(&cmd->sense_buffer, 0, sizeof(cmd->sense_buffer)); + memset(&cmd->sense_buffer, 0, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE); memcpy(cmd->sense_buffer, cp->sns_bbuf, - min(sizeof(cmd->sense_buffer), - (size_t)SYM_SNS_BBUF_LEN)); + min(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, SYM_SNS_BBUF_LEN)); Before the patch: 1) memset sets cmd->sense_buffer pointer value to zero (only 4 bytes which is wrong) 2) memcpy copies min(sizeof(cmd->sense_buffer), (size_t)SYM_SNS_BBUF_LEN)) which is equal to min(4, 32) so after this only first four bytes were copied from 32 bytes long cp->sns_bbuf into the sense_buffer After the patch: 1) memset zeroes 96 bytes of cmd structure starting at offset where sense_buffer in cmd is and results in an oops which you fixed 2) memcpy copies min(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, SYM_SNS_BBUF_LEN)) is equal to min(96, 32). cp->sns_bbuf is 32 bytes so I guess that's ok but that's different from the code before b80ca4f7 which was wrong (copied only 4 bytes) but 'worked'. Someone more experienced with that code should take a look at the logic of it.
