From a1a15ac5f9aeee521c048a88fc1aec848e623de7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kris Shannon Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 19:47:37 +1100 Subject: Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference in xen-blkfront When booting Xen Dom0 on a pre-release 3.2.1 hypervisor the system Oopses on a "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" in xenwatch. From the backtrace it looks like backend_changed is calling bdget_disk with a NULL pointer. Checking for NULL and returning ENODEV instead allows the kernel to boot. --- drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c b/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c index b6c8ce25435..8f905089b72 100644 --- a/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c +++ b/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c @@ -977,6 +977,8 @@ static void backend_changed(struct xenbus_device *dev, break; case XenbusStateClosing: + if (info->gd == NULL) + xenbus_dev_fatal(dev, -ENODEV, "gd is NULL"); bd = bdget_disk(info->gd, 0); if (bd == NULL) xenbus_dev_fatal(dev, -ENODEV, "bdget failed"); -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2 From 5e18cfd04feca78cc08a6b8b71a60a610de81eaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:10:26 +0100 Subject: cciss: remove 30 second initial timeout on controller reset Commit 5e4c91c84b194b26cf592779e451f4b5be777cba forgot to remove the initial sleep, get rid of it.

Fix this by tracking the back bio as well as the front bio in __blk_recalc_rq_segments(), this also cleans up the interface by getting rid of the segment size pointer passing.
