#14 #23 mentioned the bug of Null pointer and kernel got into a soft lock. The bug happens in function
is_mq.c::stackbd_make_request2
.The real intention of this function may be, first to copy all
struct bio
that attached to thestruct request
, and then add thesebio
into the request queue of 'stackbd'.Misusing variable
req->nr_phys_segments
which means "Number of physical scatter gather segments in a request" (kernel document) led to out-of-range access to the request list.
