Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: scsi_debug: fix one-partition tape setup bounds
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 23:55:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603235616.124535-1-sam.moelius@trailofbits.com> (raw)

The tape setup path writes partition metadata one element past the
allocated tape_blocks array when a one-partition configuration is
selected.

That corrupts adjacent state during device initialization before any
command is issued.

Reject a declared multi-partition layout that has no space for partition
1, and initialize partition 1's marker only when partition 1 exists.
