What happens is that a write to /dev/sg is given a request with non-zero ->iovec_count combined with zero ->dxfer_len. Or with ->dxferp pointing to an array full of empty iovecs. Having write permission to /dev/sg shouldn't be equivalent to the ability to trigger BUG_ON() while holding spinlocks... Found by Dmitry Vyukov and syzkaller. [ The BUG_ON() got changed to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), but this fixes the underlying issue. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
