fd3fc0b4d7
Don't crash the machine just because of an empty transfer. Use WARN_ON() combined with returning an error. Found by Dmitry Vyukov and syzkaller. [ Changed to "WARN_ON_ONCE()". Al has a patch that should fix the root cause, but a BUG_ON() is not acceptable in any case, and a WARN_ON() might still be a cause of excessive log spamming. NOTE! If this warning ever triggers, we may end up leaking resources, since this doesn't bother to try to clean the command up. So this WARN_ON_ONCE() triggering does imply real problems. But BUG_ON() is much worse. People really need to stop using BUG_ON() for "this shouldn't ever happen". It makes pretty much any bug worse. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.de> Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: James Bottomley <jejb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
