Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y v2 1/2] scsi: lpfc: Define lpfc_dmabuf type for ctx_buf ptr
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 14:22:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002182205.11550-2-artem@trailofbits.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002182205.11550-1-artem@trailofbits.com>
From: Justin Tee <justin.tee@broadcom.com>
[ Upstream commit 115d137aa918d879e3cca9605bbf59e0482aa734 ]
In LPFC_MBOXQ_t, the ctx_buf ptr shouldn't be defined as a generic void
*ptr. It is named ctx_buf and it should only be used as an lpfc_dmabuf
*ptr. Due to the void* declaration, there have been abuses of ctx_buf for
things not related to lpfc_dmabuf.
So, set the ptr type for *ctx_buf as lpfc_dmabuf. Remove all type casts on
ctx_buf because it is no longer a void *ptr. Convert the abuse of ctx_buf
for something not related to lpfc_dmabuf to use the void *context3 ptr.
A particular abuse of the ctx_buf warranted a new void *ext_buf ptr.
However, the usage of this new void *ext_buf is not generic. It is
intended to only hold virtual addresses for extended mailbox commands.
[ Backport to 6.6.y: retain only the ext_buf member and the corresponding
extended-mailbox producers and SLI3 copy sites. The remainder of the
upstream context-pointer cleanup depends on earlier patches in the lpfc
14.4.0.1 series and is unrelated to this timeout fix. Keeping the SLI3
payload in ext_buf leaves ctx_buf pointing to its DMA descriptor through
late completion and cleanup. ]
