I have a RAID that returns a medium error on a read command. The
"information bytes valid" bit is set in the sense data, but the
information bytes are zero:
CDB: 28 00 02 B0 62 00 00 00 02 00
Status: 02 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense data:
F0 00 03 00 | 00 00 00 0A | 00 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00
00 00
For HARDWARE_ERROR/MEDIUM_ERROR, sd_done assumes that the sense
information bytes contain the sector in error without sanity-checking
the value, so it ends up returning a completely bogus good_bytes value
greater than xfer_size. This in turn causes the medium error to be
ignored and corrupt data to be returned to the user application. This
problem was introduced by the patch "[SCSI] sd/scsi_lib simplify
sd_rw_intr and scsi_io_completion" in 2.6.18-rc1; with kernels 2.6.17
and before, the application correctly gets an I/O error instead. This
patch fixes this particular problem by checking that bad_lba falls
within a sensible range before using it.
For a read command that returns HARDWARE_ERROR/MEDIUM_ERROR, I also
added the ability to calculate the amount of good data returned using
the data transfer residual if set by the LLDD. If the both the sense
information bytes and the data transfer residual are valid, then they
are used to sanity-check each other.
The following code in sd_done doesn't seem right to me:
if (driver_byte(result) != DRIVER_SENSE &&
(!sense_valid || sense_deferred))
goto out;
It would make more sense to use || rather than && for this test. Even
better, this patch moves the check up higher so that the sense buffer
isn't even accessed unless driver_byte(result) & DRIVER_SENSE.
Finally, for the case of RECOVERED_ERROR/NO_SENSE, this patch adds a
check of the data transfer residual before assuming that the command
completed successfully.
I would like comments on the following:
sd_done doesn't check the data transfer residual for commands that
complete successfully. In the unlikely case that the drive returns good
status without transferring all the data (due to a SCSI bus problem or
disk firmware bug), the error won't be detected. I figured that it was
more likely for a LLDD to set resid incorrectly than for this unlikely
problem to happen, so I didn't add a check for it. Agreed?
Is the new is_sd_cmnd_read_or_write() function necessary? The original
code appears to use blk_fs_request(SCpnt->request) to determine if a
command is read or write. Should I drop is_sd_cmnd_read_or_write() and
use blk_fs_request() instead, or it it OK like this?
Does anyone object to the new data transfer residual checks for
non-read/write commands that return RECOVERED_ERROR/NO_SENSE? Should I
just drop this part of the patch for simplicity?
