When using the commands below to write some data to a virtio-scsi LUN of the QEMU guest(32-bit) with 1G physical memory(qemu -m 1024), the qemu will crash.
# sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb (/dev/sdb is the virtio-scsi LUN.) # sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1024
In current implementation, sg_set_buf is called to add buffers to sg list which is put into the virtqueue eventually. But there are some HighMem pages in table->sgl can not get virtual address by sg_virt. So, sg_virt(sg_elem) may return NULL value. This will cause QEMU exit when virtqueue_map_sg is called in QEMU because an invalid GPA is passed by virtqueue.
My solution is using sg_set_page instead of sg_set_buf.
I have tested the patch on my workstation. QEMU would not crash any more.
