Subjectsg regression in 2.6.16-rc5
Date
We have encountered some kind of sg regression with kernel 2.6.16-rc5  
relative to 2.6.15. We have a small program that demonstrates the
failure. On 2.6.15 it produces the output:

Alloced dataptr 0 -> 0xb7d07008
IOS: 0
ios 100

indicating that it did 100 operations successfully. On 2.6.16-rc5, it
produces the output:

Alloced dataptr 0 -> 0xa7d10008
SG_IO ioctl error 12 Cannot allocate memory
ios 0

indicating that it did 0 operations successfully. This program is
attempting to do 1MB reads on a SCSI device. We get the failure both
on an aic79xx parallel SCSI and on aic94xx SAS. With both types of
devices, it works fine on the 2.6.15 kernel. We have also seen this
problem on the 2.6.16-rc4 kernel. In all cases we were running on an
Intel Xeon-based system.

Below is the source for the program that was used to demonstrate this
problem:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <error.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <scsi/sg.h>
#include <scsi/scsi.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
#include <ctype.h>


void dispsns(unsigned char cdb0, unsigned char *sense_buffer, int len)
{
int i;
unsigned int *dwptr;
printf("sense: cdb0 : %02hhX",cdb0);
dwptr = (unsigned int *) &sense_buffer;
for (i = 0; i < len ; i++) {

if (!(i % 16)) {
printf("\n%02hhX", sense_buffer[i]);
continue;
}
if (!(i % 4))
printf(" ");
printf("%02hhX", sense_buffer[i]);
}
printf(" KEY: %02hhX ", sense_buffer[2] & 0x0f);
printf("ASC: %02hhX ", sense_buffer[12]);
printf("ASCQ: %02hhX\n", sense_buffer[13]);
}
