Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ata: libata-eh: correctly handle deferred qc timeouts
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 07:14:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220221439.533771-2-dlemoal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220221439.533771-1-dlemoal@kernel.org>
A deferred qc may timeout while waiting for the device queue to drain
to be submitted. In such case, since the qc is not active,
ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() ends up calling scsi_eh_finish_cmd(),
which frees the qc. But as the port deferred_qc field still references
this finished/freed qc, the deferred qc work may eventually attempt to
call ata_qc_issue() against this invalid qc, leading to errors such as
reported by UBSAN (syzbot run):
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/ata/libata-core.c:5166:24
shift exponent 4210818301 is too large for 64-bit type 'long long unsigned int'
...
Call Trace:

</TASK>
Fix this by checking if the qc of a timed out SCSI command is a deferred
one, and in such case, clear the port deferred_qc field and finish the
SCSI command with DID_TIME_OUT.
