[PATCH 0/6] scsi: make SG_IO user copyback failure-safe
From: Wang Yingjie
Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 11:41:23 EST
Several SCSI passthrough completion paths touch userspace while their
completed request still owns a queue tag. Sense or READ-bounce copyback
can fault on a mapping backed by the same one-tag device, leaving the
nested I/O unable to obtain the retained tag. The synchronous and
io_uring BSG paths additionally discard data-copyback failures.
Snapshot request-backed completion state, free each request before
userspace access, and preserve the existing error precedence while
reporting copyback failures. This covers block-device SG_IO, CDDA,
and both synchronous and io_uring BSG completion.
Same-device one-tag tests previously left SG_IO, CDDA, and BSG tasks in
D state in blk_rq_unmap_user() -> filemap_fault. The fixed paths
completed without a stuck task or hung-task report. BSG tests with an
unaligned PROT_NONE destination returned false success in 20/20 runs
before the error-propagation changes and -EFAULT in 20/20 runs after
them, while writable controls continued to succeed.
The series passed scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict, focused W=1 builds,
the full bzImage build used for the wider audit, and QEMU differential
tests on the affected paths.
