[PATCH] block: Allocate a sense buffer before executing an SG_IO ioctl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some time ago blk_execute_rq() was modified such that it no longer
allocates a sense buffer. Make sg_io() allocate and use a sense buffer.
This patch avoids that the following bug is triggered when running the
libiscsi tests against the scsi_debug driver:

usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from null address (offset 0, size 18)!
