      [SCSI] scsi: virtio-scsi: Fix address translation failure of HighMem pages used by sg list · 27e99ade
      Wang Sen 提交于
      When using the commands below to write some data to a virtio-scsi LUN of the
      QEMU guest(32-bit) with 1G physical memory(qemu -m 1024), the qemu will crash.
      
              # sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb  (/dev/sdb is the virtio-scsi LUN.)
              # sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt
              # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1024
      
      In current implementation, sg_set_buf is called to add buffers to sg list which
      is put into the virtqueue eventually. But if there are some HighMem pages in
      table->sgl you can not get virtual address by sg_virt. So, sg_virt(sg_elem) may
      return NULL value. This will cause QEMU exit when virtqueue_map_sg is called
      in QEMU because an invalid GPA is passed by virtqueue.
      
      Two solutions are discussed here:
      http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1207.3/00675.html
      
      Finally, value assignment approach was adopted because:
      
      Value assignment creates a well-formed scatterlist, because the termination
      marker in source sg_list has been set in blk_rq_map_sg(). The last entry of the
      source sg_list is just copied to the the last entry in destination list.  Note
      that, for now, virtio_ring does not care about the form of the scatterlist and
      simply processes the first out_num + in_num consecutive elements of the sg[]
      array.
      
      I have tested the patch on my workstation. QEMU would not crash any more.
