This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: scsi_debug: Fix a warning in resp_write_scat() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-scsi_debug-fix-a-warning-in-resp_write_scat.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f1c90dd996086a44cb58f24db55613d0237beb6c Author: Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 11 02:05:25 2022 -0800 scsi: scsi_debug: Fix a warning in resp_write_scat() [ Upstream commit 216e179724c1d9f57a8ababf8bd7aaabef67f01b ] As 'lbdof_blen' is coming from user, if the size in kzalloc() is >= MAX_ORDER then we hit a warning. Call trace: sg_ioctl sg_ioctl_common scsi_ioctl sg_scsi_ioctl blk_execute_rq blk_mq_sched_insert_request blk_mq_run_hw_queue __blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue __blk_mq_run_hw_queue blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list scsi_queue_rq scsi_dispatch_cmd scsi_debug_queuecommand schedule_resp resp_write_scat If you try to allocate a memory larger than(>=) MAX_ORDER, then kmalloc() will definitely fail. It creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg. The user controls the size here so if they specify a too large size it will fail. Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning. This is detected by static analysis using smatch.
