The FRU and I2C bsg handlers stage their transfer in a DMA_POOL_SIZE
(256-byte) bounce buffer obtained from dma_pool_alloc(), which does not
zero the allocation. They initialize only a few leading bytes before
handing the buffer to qla2x00_write_sfp().
qla2x00_write_sfp() can override the transfer length with a user-supplied
value:
if (len == 1)
opt |= BIT_0;
if (opt & BIT_0)
len = *sfp;
*sfp is the first byte of the (user-controlled) payload, so len can grow
up to 255. The device then DMA-reads len bytes from the 256-byte pool
buffer. Since only a small prefix was written
(e.g. MAX_FRU_SIZE == 36 bytes for a FRU version, one byte for a FRU
status register), the hardware reads past the initialized region and
writes up to ~219 bytes of stale DMA-pool heap memory to the device
flash.
Allocate the buffer with dma_pool_zalloc() in all five FRU/I2C handlers
so any bytes beyond the initialized data are zero rather than stale heap
contents.

[ commit b47d4a1547d9ef21b2e9d1a739fe2204d4be05dc upstream ]
Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Documentation
- Building and installing SCST.
- Build options: Clang, cross-compilation, and kernel module signing.
- Configuration and administration: targets, devices,
LUNs, and
/etc/scst.conf. - Core and device handlers: operating modes, module parameters, and sysfs configuration.
- Target drivers: iSCSI, iSER, QLogic Fibre Channel, SRP, FCoE, and local loopback.
- Performance tuning.
- Clustered persistent reservations: synchronization through DLM.
- T10 protection information: data integrity modes and configuration.
- Developer references: architecture and userspace handler interface (SGML sources), and sysfs interface rules.
- Contributing: code style, commit conventions, local checks, and guides to KUnit and component testing.
Current master packages
Prebuilt x86_64 packages from the latest successfully published master
build are available in the rolling
master-rpm prerelease.
These are development snapshots, not SCST releases.
The snapshot contains RPM bundles for selected Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux
UEK kernels. It also contains Ubuntu LTS bundles with scst-dkms, scstadmin
and iscsi-scst binary packages and their Debian source package files. Exact
distribution releases and RPM kernel versions are included in the asset names.
Every .tar.gz bundle has a matching .sha256 file. The complete snapshot is
replaced after each successful package workflow for the current master
commit.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.
The default driver is located in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. It is the newer one.
May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to
16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the
older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
