PATCH 1/1 scsi: Do no try to probe for CDL on old drives

Some old drives (e.g. an Ultra320 SCSI disk as reported by John) do not seem to execute MAINTENANCE_IN / MI_REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES commands correctly and hang when a non-zero service action is specified (one command format with service action case in scsi_report_opcode()).

Currently, CDL probing with scsi_cdl_check_cmd() is the only caller using a non zero service action for scsi_report_opcode(). To avoid issues with these old drives, do not attempt CDL probe if the device reports support for an SPC version lower than 5 (CDL was introduced in SPC-5). To keep things working with ATA devices which probe for the CDL T2A and T2B pages introduced with SPC-6, modify ata_scsiop_inq_std() to claim SPC-6 version compatibility for ATA drives supporting CDL.

SPC-6 standard version number is defined as Dh (= 13) in SPC-6 r09. Fix scsi_probe_lun() to correctly capture this value by changing the bit mask for the second byte of the INQUIRY response from 0x7 to 0xf. include/scsi/scsi.h is modified to add the definition SCSI_SPC_6 with the value 14 (Dh + 1). The missing definitions for the SCSI_SPC_4 and SCSI_SPC_5 versions are also added.

How about using the symbolic name SCSI_SPC_6 - 1 instead of the literal constant 0xd?

Please consider changing the SCSI_SPC_* constants such that these match the SPC standard. Having numerical values that do not match the standard is confusing.

I tried to stay consistent with the code in that function which has all the versions hard coded. I can do a cleanup with a followup patch to replace the version values with the "macro - 1" names. I would not want this to block this patch as it is a regression fix confirmed to solve issues for several (and growing number of) users.

I did not check. But that is a change outside of the scope of this fix patch.

I agree. I do not know why this was done like this. This has been around as is for a long time. The problem though with changing this is that scsi_level is exposed in sysfs, so if we change that now, that could break some user things unless we keep exposing sysfs value as scsi_level + 1. We could also add a scsi_level_name attribute which gives the name, e.g. "spc-6" to be clear. In any case, such a change is outside the scope of this patch and should be a followup.

Bart.

This fixes the log spam I was seeing on a Marvell 88SE9230, which had looked like this:

[    1.744094] ata14: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    1.744368] ata14.00: configured for UDMA/66

It now just gets configured the once at boot, as it did before the CDL patch.

Thanks a lot,
