commit9393c8de62upstream. In scsi_mq_setup_tags(), cmd_size is calculated based on zero size for the scatter-gather list in case the low level driver uses SG_NONE in its host template. cmd_size is passed on to the block layer for calculation of the request size, and we've seen NULL pointer dereference errors from the block layer in drivers where SG_NONE is used and a mq IO scheduler is active, apparently as a consequence of this (see commit68ab2d76e4("scsi: cxlflash: Set sg_tablesize to 1 instead of SG_NONE"), and a recent patch by Finn Thain converting the three m68k NFR5380 drivers to avoid setting SG_NONE). Try to avoid these errors by accounting for at least one sg list entry when calculating cmd_size, regardless of whether the low level driver set a zero sg_tablesize. Tested on 030 m68k with the atari_scsi driver - setting sg_tablesize to SG_NONE no longer results in a crash when loading this driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
