Subject: CVE-2026-89586: ata: libata-scsi: fix DSM TRIM for sector sizes larger than 2048 bytes
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:44:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091129-CVE-2026-89586-d550@gregkh> (raw)

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ata: libata-scsi: fix DSM TRIM for sector sizes larger than 2048 bytes

ata_scsi_write_same_xlat() translates a SCSI WRITE SAME command with the
UNMAP bit set into an ATA DATA SET MANAGEMENT TRIM command.  The TRIM
descriptor is built by ata_format_dsm_trim_descr() into the 2048-byte
ata_scsi_rbuf staging buffer, and the number of bytes copied is compared
against the logical sector size by the caller:

	size = ata_format_dsm_trim_descr(scmd, trmax, block, n_block);
	if (size != len)		/* len == sdp->sector_size */
		goto invalid_param_len;

ata_format_dsm_trim_descr() clamps the copy length to ATA_SCSI_RBUF_SIZE
(2048).  On a device whose logical sector size exceeds that (e.g. a 4Kn
device, where sector_size == 4096) the function can never return more than
2048, while the caller expects it to return sector_size.  The comparison
therefore always fails, so every TRIM is rejected with "Parameter list
length error" and WARN_ON() splats on each attempt.  TRIM / discard is
thus completely broken on such devices.

The descriptor was incorrectly sized from the logical sector size.  A DSM
TRIM payload is a list of 512-byte pages, each holding up to
ATA_MAX_TRIM_RNUM (64) LBA Range Entries, and is independent of the logical
sector size.  The Block Limits VPD page already advertises a single such
page as the maximum WRITE SAME length (65535 * ATA_MAX_TRIM_RNUM logical
blocks), so the block layer never sends a request that needs more than one
page.

Emit exactly one 512-byte page, independent of the logical sector size,
and transfer only that page (COUNT == 1).  For a 512-byte-sector device
this is unchanged; devices with larger logical sectors now work instead of
failing every TRIM.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89586 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
