Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fix random memory corruption with scsi-mq + T10 PI
Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:20:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54862444.3020901@cybernetics.com> (raw)

This fixes random memory corruption triggered when all three of the
following are true:

* scsi-mq enabled
* T10 Protection Information (DIF) enabled
* SCSI host with sg_tablesize > SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS (128)

The symptoms of this bug are unpredictable memory corruption, BUG()s,
oopses, lockups, etc., any of which may appear to be completely
unrelated to the root cause.

I encountered this problem with a QLogic QLE2672 FC HBA using qla2xxx.
On my system, this would trigger BUG_ON(atomic_read(&bio->bi_remaining) <= 0)
in bio_endio(), or a general protection fault in __sg_free_table()
trying to free prot_sdb, or any number of other weird random problems.
All of this was caused by cmd->prot_sdb pointing to the wrong memory.
To see how the memory is allocated, refer to scsi_mq_setup_tags() in
scsi_lib.c.

For inclusion in 3.19, 3.18.x, and 3.17.x.
