3.16.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumsh...@suse.de>
commit f930c7043663188429cd9b254e9d761edfc101ce upstream.
Don't make any assumptions on the sg_io_hdr_t::dxfer_direction or the
sg_io_hdr_t::dxferp in order to determine if it is a valid request. The
only way we can check for bad requests is by checking if the length
exceeds 256M.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumsh...@suse.de>
Fixes: 28676d869bbb (scsi: sg: check for valid direction before starting the
request)
