#1681543 — [PATCH] scsi: sg: fix SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers

Subject[PATCH] scsi: sg: fix SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers
Message-ID<tZSQO-6PZ-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers do not have a dxferp as we set it to NULL,
but must have a length bigger than 0. This fixes a regression introduced
by commit 28676d869bbb ("scsi: sg: check for valid direction before
starting the request")

It is not clear to me that dxferp is set to NULL for the newer sg_v3
interface. In the sg.c source of lk 4.12.0 around line 654 (in the
sg_write(...) function) only the older interface passes through; the
newer interface bypasses that section with a 'return sg_new_write(...)'
on line 606.

Can you check your patch with one of the utilities from sg3_utils
such as sg_inq which will use SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV with the newer
interface?


BTW I'm not sure why dxferp is set to NULL for SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
transfers; perhaps some magic done by the block layer. Maybe a
comment in the code (e.g. on line 654) would help.

Also sg_is_valid_dxfer() is only called once and is more complex
than it looks; so perhaps it could be inlined back in
sg_common_write().

Correct, this patch broke sg_inq. I'll send a corrected v2.

This is due to:

commit fad7f01e61bf737fe8a3740d803f000db57ecac6
Author: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
Date:   Tue Sep 2 16:20:20 2008 +0900

    sg: set dxferp to NULL for READ with the older SG interface
    
    With the older SG interface, we don't know a user-space address to
    trasfer data when executing a SCSI command. So we can't pass a
    user-space address to blk_rq_map_user.
    
    This patch fixes sg to pass a NULL user-space address to
    blk_rq_map_user so that it just sets up a request and bios with page
    frames propely without data transfer.

The compiler will inline it anyways (at least the one I checked with) and
inlining it into sg_common_write() won't make the code more readable IMHO. But
ultimately it's your driver so if you insist I'll do.
