4Subject: scsi: add a blacklist flag which enables VPD page inquiries
5
6From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
7
8commit c1d40a527e885a40bb9ea6c46a1b1145d42b66a0 upstream.
9
10Despite supporting modern SCSI features some storage devices continue to
11claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec. This is done for
12compatibility with legacy operating systems.
13
14Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that
15claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that can be used to
16trigger VPD page inquiries on devices that are known to support them.
