Subject: scsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d06a310b45e153872033dd0cf19d5a2279121099;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

scsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX

The parameter def_reserved_size defines the default buffer size reserved
for each Sg_fd and should be restricted to a range between 0 and 1,048,576
(see https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/proc.html).  Although the
function sg_proc_write_dressz enforces this limit, it is possible to bypass
it by directly modifying the module parameter as shown below, which then
causes a soft lockup:

echo -1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/def_reserved_size
exec 4<> /dev/sg0

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck for 26 seconds! [bash:537]
Modules loaded:
CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 537 Command: bash, kernel version 6.19.0-rc3+ #134,

The fix is to use module_param_cb to validate and reject invalid values
assigned to def_reserved_size.
