Subject: Re: [scsi]  6aded12b10: kernel_BUG_at_mm/usercopy.c

Message-ID: <20220323071409.GA25480@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220320143453.GD6208@xsang-OptiPlex-9020>

The actual warning is;

[   34.496096][  T331] usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to spans multiple pages (off set 0, size 6)!

This is for the cmnd field in struct scsi_cmnd, which is allocated by
the block layer as part of the request allocator.  So with a specific
packing it can legitimately span pages.

Kees: how can we annotate that this is ok?
