Sashiko, please reread the SPC specifications. It says:

If the REQUESTED OPERATION CODE field specifies an operation code for
which the device server does not implement service actions a, then the
device server shall terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION
status, with the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the additional
sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN CDB.

Which is exactly what we are testing here.

No. Service action is not ignored with reporting options 3.

No. SPC says:

a) the operation code specified by the REQUESTED OPERATION CODE
field specifies an operation code for which the device server does
not implement service actions, the REQUESTED SERVICE ACTION field
is set to 00h, and the command is supported; or
...
then the command support data shall indicate that the command is
supported (i.e., the SUPPORT field (see table 262) is set to 011b or 101b).
Otherwise, the command support data shall indicate that the command is
not supported (i.e., the SUPPORT field is set to 001b).

Set for commands that do not support service actions, the command must have
service action set to 0.
