[PATCHv2] iscsi-target: Don't use stack buffer for scatterlist

From: Laura Abbott
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 16:36:41 EST


Fedora got a bug report of a crash with iSCSI:

kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:143!
...
RIP: 0010:iscsit_do_crypto_hash_buf+0x154/0x180 [iscsi_target_mod]
...
Call Trace:

? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70
ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

This is a BUG_ON for using a stack buffer with a scatterlist.
There are two cases that trigger this bug. Switch to using a
dynamically allocated buffer for one case and do not assign
a NULL buffer in another case.
