Fix missing sanity check in /dev/sg
commit 137d01df upstream. 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> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.16: we're not using iov_iter, but can check the byte length after truncation] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
