Subject: [PATCH 7/7] usb: storage: shuttle_usbat: bound the READ chunk size
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:40:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-llm-usb-storage-v1-7-d1655e94ed10@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027-llm-usb-storage-v1-0-d1655e94ed10@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>

An SG_IO READ(10) of 64KiB or more to an HP 8200e CD-RW behind a USBAT
bridge never makes progress: the usb-storage thread keeps issuing
zero-length reads until the SCSI command times out and is aborted.

usbat_hp8200e_handle_read10() splits reads of 64KiB or more into chunks
of whole sectors, using srb->transfersize as the sector size:

    len = (65535/srb->transfersize) * srb->transfersize;

For passthrough requests scsi_setup_scsi_cmnd() sets transfersize to
the whole request size, and the READ CD path can likewise compute a
value above 65535, so len becomes 0.  The loop then sends commands with
a zero length and adds 0 to the transferred count on every pass.

The bug was found by code inspection and has not been reproduced.

Fix by falling back to the existing 2048-byte sector size guess when
transfersize is larger than the maximum read size, so that every chunk
holds at least one sector.
