[PATCH] scsi: Let scsi_execute_cmd() mark args->sshdr as invalid

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

 



Some callers of scsi_execute_cmd() (like e.g. sd_spinup_disk()) are
passing an uninitialized struct sshdr and don't look at the return
value of scsi_execute_cmd() before looking at the contents of that
struct.

This can result in false positives when looking for specific error
conditions.

In order to fix that let scsi_execute_cmd() zero sshdr->response_code,
resulting in scsi_sense_valid() returning false.

I'm not aware of any real error having happened due to this problem,
but I thought it should be fixed anyway.
I _think_ 3949e2f04262 was introducing the problem, but I'm not 100%
sure it is really the commit to be blamed.
