target_core_sbc's compare_and_write functionality suffers from taking
data at the wrong memory location when writing a CAW request to disk
when a SGL offset is non-zero.
This can happen with loopback and vhost-scsi fabric drivers when
SCF_PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC is used to map existing user-space
SGL memory into COMPARE_AND_WRITE READ/WRITE payload buffers.
Given the following sample LIO subtopology,
% targetcli ls /loopback/
o- loopback ................................. [1 Target]
o- naa.
6001405ebb8df14a ....... [naa.
60014059143ed2b3]
o- luns ................................... [2 LUNs]
o- lun0 ................ [iblock/ram0 (/dev/ram0)]
o- lun1 ................ [iblock/ram1 (/dev/ram1)]
% lsscsi -g
[3:0:1:0] disk LIO-ORG IBLOCK 4.0 /dev/sdc /dev/sg3
[3:0:1:1] disk LIO-ORG IBLOCK 4.0 /dev/sdd /dev/sg4
the following bug can be observed in Linux 4.3 and 4.4~rc1:
% perl -e 'print chr$_ for 0..255,reverse 0..255' >rand
% perl -e 'print "\0" x 512' >zero
% cat rand >/dev/sdd
% sg_compare_and_write -i rand -D zero --lba 0 /dev/sdd
% sg_compare_and_write -i zero -D rand --lba 0 /dev/sdd
Miscompare reported
% hexdump -Cn 512 /dev/sdd

Rather than writing all-zeroes as instructed with the -D file, it
corrupts the data in the sector by splicing some of the original
bytes in. The page of the first entry of cmd->t_data_sg includes the
CDB, and sg->offset is set to a position past the CDB. I presume that
sg->offset is also the right choice to use for subsequent sglist
members.
