[RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of a reply-buffer
From: Benjamin Block
Date: Wed Aug 09 2017 - 10:12:57 EST
In contrast to the normal SCSI-lib, the BSG block-queue doesn't make use of
any extra init_rq_fn() to make additional allocations during
request-creation, and the request sense-pointer is not used to transport
SCSI sense data, but is used as backing for the bsg_job->reply pointer;
that in turn is used in the LLDs to store protocol IUs or similar stuff.
This 're-purposing' of the sense-pointer is done in the BSG blk-lib
(bsg_create_job()), during the queue-processing.
Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because LLDs
use this pointer unquestioned, as can be seen in the various
BSG-implementations:
drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_lport.c: fc_lport_bsg_request()
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_bsg.c: qla24xx_bsg_request()
drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_bsg.c: qla4xxx_process_vendor_specific()
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fc.c: zfcp_fc_ct_els_job_handler()
...
An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had
debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on
s390x):
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6000 TEID: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6403
Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
To prevent this, allocate a buffer when the BSG blk-request is setup, and
before it is queued for LLD processing.
