Subject: [PATCH] scsi: sg: clean up request on error paths in sg_read()
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 20:48:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919204814.2815374-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)

In sg_read(), once sg_get_rq_mark() locates a completed Sg_request and
transitions srp->done from 1 to 2, an allocation failure in kzalloc() or
a user-copy fault (-EFAULT) in copy_to_user() / sg_read_oxfer() returns
or jumps to free_old_hdr without calling sg_finish_rem_req(srp) and
sg_remove_request(sfp, srp).

Because srp->done is already 2, subsequent sg_read() calls skip the
request, permanently leaking srp->bio and keeping sfp->res_in_use = 1
(blocking SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE with -EBUSY and wedging non-SG_FLAG_NO_DXFER
writes with -EDOM) until the file descriptor is closed.

Always call sg_finish_rem_req(srp) and sg_remove_request(sfp, srp) under
the free_old_hdr cleanup label, matching sg_new_read().
