From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2018 20:33:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] libata: don't try to pass through NCQ commands to non-NCQ devices
syzkaller hit a WARN() in ata_bmdma_qc_issue() when writing to /dev/sg0. This happened because it issued an ATA pass-through command (ATA_16) where the protocol field indicated that NCQ should be used -- but the device did not support NCQ.
We could just remove the WARN() from libata-sff.c, but the real problem seems to be that the SCSI -> ATA translation code passes through NCQ commands without verifying that the device actually supports NCQ.
Fix this by adding the appropriate check to ata_scsi_pass_thru().
Here's reproducer that works in QEMU when /dev/sg0 refers to a disk of the default type ("82371SB PIIX3 IDE"):
#include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h>
int main() { char buf[53] = { 0 };
buf[36] = 0x85; /* ATA_16 */ buf[37] = (12 << 1); /* FPDMA */ buf[38] = 0x1; /* Has data */ buf[51] = 0xC8; /* ATA_CMD_READ */ write(open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR), buf, sizeof(buf)); }
