[PATCH] scsi: core: Handle drivers which set sg_tablesize to zero

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

 



commit 9393c8de628c upstream

In scsi_mq_setup_tags(), cmd_size is calculated based on zero size
for the scatter-gather list in case the low level driver uses SG_NONE
in its host template.d, and an empty message aborts the commit.

cmd_size is passed on to the block layer for calculation of the request
size, and we've seen NULL pointer dereference errors from the block
layer in drivers where SG_NONE is used and a mq IO scheduler is active,
apparently as a consequence of this (see commit 68ab2d76e4be for the
cxflash driver, and a recent patch by Finn Thain converting the three
m68k NFR5380 drivers to avoid setting SG_NONE).

Try to avoid these errors by accounting for at least one sg list entry
when caculating cmd_size, regardless of whether the low level driver
set a zero sg_tablesize.

Tested on 030 m68k with the atari_scsi driver - setting sg_tablesize to
SG_NONE no longer results in a crash when loading this driver.

Backport of commit 9393c8de628c to stable kernels before 4.19 which lack
commit 3dccdf53c2f3 ("scsi: core: avoid preallocating big SGL for data"),
as requestef by Sasha Levin.
