[PATCH] Fix BLKPREP_KILL
From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Samuel Rydh wrote: If a MODE_SENSE(6) command is sent to an IDE cd using the CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl, then the kernel freezes solidly. To reproduce this, one can take the SCSI cmd [1a 08 31 00 10 00] and a 16 byte data buffer. After some bug hunting, I found out that the following is what happens: - ide-cd recognizes that MODE_SENSE(6) isn't supported and tries to abort the request from ide_cdrom_prep_pc by returning BLKPREP_KILL. - in elv_next_request(), the kill request is handled by the following code: while (end_that_request_first(rq, 0, rq->nr_sectors)) ; end_that_request_last(rq); The while loop never exits. The end_that_request_first() doesn't do anything since rq->nr_sectors is 0; it just returns "not-done" after handling those 0 bytes (rq->bio->bi_size is 16).
