virtio_blk: avoid DMA to stack for the sense buffer Most users of BLOCK_PC requests allocate the sense buffer on the stack, so to avoid DMA to the stack copy them to a field in the heap allocated virtblk_req structure. Without that any attempt at SCSI passthrough I/O, including the SG_IO ioctl from userspace will crash the kernel. Note that this includes running tools like hdparm even when the host does not have SCSI passthrough enabled.
