Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing
 allocation of a reply-buffer

Hey Christoph,

I looked over the patch in detail, see below.

What is the reason for moving that last line? Just wondering whether
that might change the behavior somehow, although it doesn't look like it
from the code.

That doesn't work with bsg.c if the request submitted by the user is
bigger than BLK_MAX_CDB. There is code in blk_fill_sgv4_hdr_rq() that
will reassign the req->cmd point in that case to something else.

This is maybe wrong in the same vein as my Patch 1 is. If not for the
legacy code in bsg.c, setting this here, will miss changes to that
pointer between request-allocation and job-submission.

So maybe just move this to bsg_create_job().

job->reply_len will be 0 here, won't it? You probably have to pull the
"job->reply_len = SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE" here from bsg_create_job().

Don't we need to free the reply-buffer as well?

Not sure how you wanna proceed. I can also sketch something up and
already test it on our cards, to prevent the ping-pong.
