I have another way to avoid the issue. But it doesn't seem that a good way though... According to the commit that adding blk_queue_virt_boundary() [3], this is needed for vhci_hcd as a workaround so that if we avoid to call it on xhci-hcd driver, the issue disappeared. What do you think? JFYI, I pasted a tentative patch in the end of email [4]. --- [3] commit 747668dbc061b3e62bc1982767a3a1f9815fcf0e Author: Alan Stern <st...@rowland.harvard.edu> Date: Mon Apr 15 13:19:25 2019 -0400 usb-storage: Set virt_boundary_mask to avoid SG overflows --- [4] diff --git a/drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c b/drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c index 59190d8..277c6f7e 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c +++ b/drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c @@ -30,6 +30,8 @@ #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/mutex.h> +#include <linux/usb.h> +#include <linux/usb/hcd.h> #include <scsi/scsi.h> #include <scsi/scsi_cmnd.h> @@ -65,6 +67,7 @@ static const char* host_info(struct Scsi_Host *host) static int slave_alloc (struct scsi_device *sdev) { struct us_data *us = host_to_us(sdev->host); + struct usb_hcd *hcd = bus_to_hcd(us->pusb_dev->bus); int maxp; /* @@ -80,8 +83,10 @@ static int slave_alloc (struct scsi_device *sdev) * Bulk maxpacket value.
