[PATCH] scsi: megaraid: cap passthrough copyout length

From: Yousef Alhouseen

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 13:41:55 EST


MIMD passthrough commands store the DMA transfer length in dataxferlen.

The common ioctl path copied xferlen bytes back to userspace instead.

For read commands, a larger xferlen can expose stale DMA buffer bytes.

Those bytes are beyond the data returned by the controller.

Validate dataxferlen for both directions and copy back only that length.
