For passthrough requests, libata-scsi takes what the user passes in as gospel. This can be problematic if the user fills in the CDB incorrectly. One example of that is in request sizes. For read/write commands, the CDB contains fields describing the transfer length of the request. These should match with the SG_IO header fields, but libata-scsi currently does no validation of that. Check that the number of blocks in the CDB for passthrough requests matches what was mapped into the request. If the CDB asks for more data then the validated SG_IO header fields, error it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
