Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 1/2] dm-zero-rq: fix a NULL dereference mapping a flush request
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:31:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028123130.2828357-2-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028123130.2828357-1-den@openvz.org>

From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

zero_clone_and_map_rq() reads the operation from rq->bio. The flush
request the block layer issues for a preflush carries no bio, so the
target oopses in the kblockd worker:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
  RIP: 0010:zero_clone_and_map_rq+0x12/0x70 [dm_zero_rq]
   map_request+0x57/0x230 [dm_mod]
   dm_mq_queue_rq+0xe0/0x240 [dm_mod]

zero-rq advertises no write cache, but a flush reaches it anyway after
a table swap. ploop releases a device by reloading it to the error
target, which keeps the write cache on, and later to zero-rq while the
file system on top is still mounted. A flush queued against the
previous table waits out the suspend and is dispatched to zero-rq on
resume. A sync during "vzctl release-disks" is enough to hit it.

Take the operation from the request. The flush is now killed like any
other request zero-rq does not handle.

Fixes: caf9c61aeb93 ("dm-zero-req: Introduce zero request based target")
