The current MAX_SERIAL_LEN value of 256 is insufficient for some SCSI
devices with non-standard serial number lengths. In do_scsi_page80_inquiry(),
the required buffer length is calculated as:
len = 1 + VENDOR_LENGTH + MODEL_LENGTH + buf[3]
= 1 + 8 + 16 + buf[3]
= 25 + buf[3]
where buf[3] contains the serial number length reported by the device.
According to the SCSI specification, this field is an unsigned 8-bit
value, meaning it can theoretically be up to 255 bytes. This results
in a maximum required length of 280 bytes, exceeding the current limit
of 256 bytes.
When this occurs, scsi_id fails with an error message like:
"length 256 too short - need 280"
This has been observed with certain vendor devices that report unusually
long serial numbers in VPD page 0x80.
Increase MAX_SERIAL_LEN to 512 to accommodate the maximum possible
serial number length plus all required prefixes (vendor, model, and
type identifiers), providing sufficient headroom for non-compliant
devices while maintaining reasonable memory usage.
