Hi,

with linux-next-20160726, I get this:

Reason is 127827b9c295 ("lib/mpi: Do not do sg_virt") which makes
mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() calling mpi_alloc() while having a sg entry
mapped via kmap_atomic() and thus, preemption disabled.

I would have sent a patch, but there is another point which puzzles me
in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl():

  [...]
  const u8 *buff;
  [...]
  sg_miter_start(&miter, sgl, ents, SG_MITER_ATOMIC | SG_MITER_FROM_SG);

  lzeros = 0;
  len = 0;
  while (nbytes > 0) {
  	while (len && !*buff) {
  		lzeros++;
  		len--;
  		buff++;
  	}


Thus, buff isn't initialized before its first use? Or am I misreading
something here?

Thanks,

Nicolai

Does this patch help?

On the first entry len is zero therefore we will go to the end of the
loop and initialise buff.  Anyway, it will no longer be as confusing
with this patch applied.

Subject: lib/mpi: Fix SG miter leak

In mpi_read_raw_from_sgl we may leak the SG miter resouces after
reading the leading zeroes.  This patch fixes this by stopping the
iteration once the leading zeroes have been read.
