A second regression was found in the immediate data transfer (IDT) support which was added to 5.2 kernel IDT is used to transfer small amounts of data (up to 8 bytes) in the field normally used for data dma address, thus avoiding dma mapping. If the data was not already dma mapped, then IDT support assumed data was in urb->transfer_buffer, and did not take into accound that even small amounts of data (8 bytes) can be in a scatterlist instead. This caused a NULL pointer dereference when sg_dma_len() was used with non-dma mapped data. Solve this by not using IDT if scatter gather buffer list is used.

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.
