Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: core: Add 'serial' sysfs attribute for SCSI/SATA
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 09:58:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116175847.3131464-1-ipylypiv@google.com> (raw)
Add a 'serial' sysfs attribute for SCSI and SATA devices. This attribute
exposes the Unit Serial Number, which is derived from the Device
Identification Vital Product Data (VPD) page 0x80.
Whitespace is stripped from the retrieved serial number to handle
the different alignment (right-aligned for SCSI, potentially
left-aligned for SATA). As noted in SAT-5 10.5.3, "Although SPC-5 defines
the PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER field as right-aligned, ACS-5 does not require
its SERIAL NUMBER field to be right-aligned. Therefore, right-alignment
of the PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER field for the translation is not assured."
This attribute is used by tools such as lsblk to display the serial
number of block devices.

v1->v2 changes:
- Reordered declarations in scsi_vpd_lun_serial() from longest to shortest.
- Replaced rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() with guard(rcu)().
