Description Robert Morris 2021-10-19 17:32:56 UTC
The virtio block device code's vtblk_maximum_segments() sets
nsegs to 3 if the device doesn't have VIRTIO_BLK_F_SEG_MAX
set. However, a 4096-byte read() to a non-page-aligned memory
address can then panic in vtblk_request_execute() due to
using up all the segments, in this code:

    if (bp->bio_cmd == BIO_READ || bp->bio_cmd == BIO_WRITE) {
        error = sglist_append_bio(sg, bp);
        if (error || sg->sg_nseg == sg->sg_maxseg) {            
            panic("%s: bio %p data buffer too big %d",
                __func__, bp, error);

sg_nseg and sg_maxseg both end up as three, triggering
the panic.

I actually got this panic, on the tinyemu RISC-V simulator,
running e2fsck on a broken ext2 file system. Here's a
program that panics on tinyemu (but not qemu, which sets
VIRTIO_BLK_F_SEG_MAX):

int main() {
  int fd = open("/dev/vtbd0", 0);
  char buf1[4*4096];
  char *buf = buf1;
  while(((unsigned long)buf) % 4096) buf++;
  read(fd, buf + 0xd00, 4096);
}

panic: vtblk_request_execute: bio 0xffffffd0019ded38 data buffer too big 0
cpuid = 0
time = 1634664503
