As a result we get tons on 'scsi 0:7:1:1: scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36' messages on console. This can be problematic for slow consoles. Introduce short_inquiry flag in struct Scsi_Host to print the message once per host. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov --- Changes since v2: - This is a successor of previously sent (and still not merged) "scsi: introduce short_inquiry flag for broken host adapters" patch. I'm not particularly sure which solution is better but I'm leaning towards this one as it doesn't require changes to adapter drivers. --- drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c | 9 ++++++--- include/scsi/scsi_host.h | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c index f9f3f82..cd347e4 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c @@ -701,9 +701,12 @@ static int scsi_probe_lun(struct scsi_device *sdev, unsigned char *inq_result, * strings. */ if (sdev->inquiry_len < 36) { - sdev_printk(KERN_INFO, sdev, - "scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (%d)," - " using 36\n", sdev->inquiry_len); + if (!sdev->host->short_inquiry) { + shost_printk(KERN_INFO, sdev->host, + "scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (%d)," + " using 36\n", sdev->inquiry_len); + sdev->host->short_inquiry = 1; + } sdev->inquiry_len = 36; } diff --git a/include/scsi/scsi_host.h b/include/scsi/scsi_host.h index e113c75..3a22da7 100644 --- a/include/scsi/scsi_host.h +++ b/include/scsi/scsi_host.h @@ -673,6 +673,9 @@ struct Scsi_Host { unsigned use_blk_mq:1; unsigned use_cmd_list:1; + /* Host responded with short (<36 bytes) INQUIRY result */ + unsigned short_inquiry:1; + /* * Optional work queue to be utilized by the transport */ -- 2.4.3
