commit 9393c8de628cf0968d81a17cc11841e42191e041 upstream.
In scsi_mq_setup_tags(), cmd_size is calculated based on zero size for the
scatter-gather list in case the low level driver uses SG_NONE in its host
template.
cmd_size is passed on to the block layer for calculation of the request
size, and we've seen NULL pointer dereference errors from the block layer
in drivers where SG_NONE is used and a mq IO scheduler is active,
apparently as a consequence of this (see commit 68ab2d76e4be ("scsi:
cxlflash: Set sg_tablesize to 1 instead of SG_NONE"), and a recent patch by
Finn Thain converting the three m68k NFR5380 drivers to avoid setting
SG_NONE).
Try to avoid these errors by accounting for at least one sg list entry when
calculating cmd_size, regardless of whether the low level driver set a zero
sg_tablesize.
Tested on 030 m68k with the atari_scsi driver - setting sg_tablesize to
SG_NONE no longer results in a crash when loading this driver.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
