[ Upstream commit 3562f5d9f21e7779ae442a45197fed6cb247fd22 ] The WRITE ZEROES command has no data transfer so that we need to initialize the struct (nvmet_req *req)->data_len to 0x0. While (nvmet_req *req)->transfer_len is initialized in nvmet_req_init(), data_len will be initialized by nowhere which might cause the failure with status code NVME_SC_SGL_INVALID_DATA | NVME_SC_DNR randomly. It's because nvmet_req_execute() checks like: if (unlikely(req->data_len != req->transfer_len)) { req->error_loc = offsetof(struct nvme_common_command, dptr); nvmet_req_complete(req, NVME_SC_SGL_INVALID_DATA | NVME_SC_DNR); } else req->execute(req); This patch fixes req->data_len not to be a randomly assigned by initializing it to 0x0 when preparing the command in nvmet_bdev_parse_io_cmd(). nvmet_file_parse_io_cmd() which is for file-backed I/O has already initialized the data_len field to 0x0, though.
