SCSI subsystem Kernel

[======]

Version Signature
Ubuntu 4.4.0-109.132-generic 4.4.98

Attached is source code for sending a scsi command block to a sg device. When this is executed it causes a a seg fault with the stack dump that can been seen in the dmesg logs(see Below). The code worked until 4.4.0-98. It also continues to work on newer versions of ubuntu, such as Ubuntu 17.10 with the most up to date kernel 4.13.0.25. Please let me know if there is anything else information wise I can do help clarify this error. I have been able to replicate this on multiple hardware scenarios so I hope that the attached source code should be enough for you to do the same.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 stable kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
