Subject: [PATCH] scsi: sd: Fix cache_type_store()
Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2018 12:41:58 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181223074158.22796-1-mironov.ivan@gmail.com> (raw)

Changing of caching mode via /sys/devices/.../scsi_disk/.../cache_type
may fail if device responses to MODE SENSE command with DPOFUA flag set,
and then checks this flag to be not set on MODE SELECT command.

When trying to change cache_type, write always fails:
	# echo "none" >cache_type
	bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

And following appears in dmesg:
	[13007.865745] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]
	[13007.865753] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Invalid field in parameter list
