This +is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller +than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for +each sector is always contained in a single page. + +This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed +as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of +udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the +problem and causing oops. + +This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to +ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to +sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still +possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which +case the alignment wouldn't be enough. + +Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> +Reported-by: John Stanley <jpsinthemix@verizon.net> +Tested-by: John Stanley <jpsinthemix@verizon.net> +Cc: stable@kernel.org +--- + drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++------ + 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c +index 5defc74..600f635 100644 +--- a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c ++++ b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c +@@ -1099,9 +1099,9 @@ static int ata_scsi_dev_config(struct scsi_device *sdev, + struct request_queue *q = sdev->request_queue; + void *buf; + +- /* set the min alignment and padding */ +- blk_queue_update_dma_alignment(sdev->request_queue, +- ATA_DMA_PAD_SZ - 1); ++ sdev->sector_size = ATA_SECT_SIZE; ++ ++ /* set DMA padding */ + blk_queue_update_dma_pad(sdev->request_queue, + ATA_DMA_PAD_SZ - 1); + +@@ -1115,13 +1115,25 @@ static int ata_scsi_dev_config(struct scsi_device *sdev, + + blk_queue_dma_drain(q, atapi_drain_needed, buf, ATAPI_MAX_DRAIN); + } else { +- /* ATA devices must be sector aligned */ + sdev->sector_size = ata_id_logical_sector_size(dev->id); +- blk_queue_update_dma_alignment(sdev->request_queue, +- sdev->sector_size - 1); + sdev->manage_start_stop = 1; + } + ++ /* ++ * ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to not cross ++ * page boundary.
