Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential
issues to consider:
- [Low] scsi: CONFIG_SCSI_MULTIPATH depends on SCSI_MOD instead of SCSI
- [Low] scsi: duplicate MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_LICENSE in

- [Low] scsi-multipath: off-by-one truncation check in

scsi-multipath: introduce basic SCSI device support
This commit introduces struct scsi_mpath_device, the scsi_mod.multipath
module parameter, and per-device multipath allocation and release hooks
during SCSI LUN scanning and device teardown.

[Severity: Low]
Should SCSI_MULTIPATH depend on SCSI instead of SCSI_MOD?
SCSI_MOD defaults to y when SCSI=n and BLOCK=y:
drivers/scsi/Kconfig:
config SCSI_MOD
tristate
default y if SCSI=n || SCSI=y
default m if SCSI=m
depends on BLOCK
When CONFIG_SCSI=n and CONFIG_BLOCK=y, CONFIG_SCSI_MULTIPATH=y can be
enabled, which selects CONFIG_LIBMULTIPATH=y while skipping scsi_mod.o and
drivers/scsi/scsi_multipath.o.

[Severity: Low]
Should the truncation check test ret >= SCSI_MPATH_DEVICE_ID_LEN instead of
ret > SCSI_MPATH_DEVICE_ID_LEN?
In scsi_vpd_lun_id(), a T10 Vendor ID designator with 252 or more bytes is
clamped to id_len - 4 (252) and formatted with snprintf(id, id_len,
"t10.%*pE", ...), which truncates device_id_str at 255 characters plus the
NUL terminator and returns 256 (SCSI_MPATH_DEVICE_ID_LEN). Testing
ret > SCSI_MPATH_DEVICE_ID_LEN accepts that truncated identifier.

[Severity: Low]
Does linking scsi_multipath.o into scsi_mod.o emit duplicate MODULE_LICENSE
and conflicting MODULE_DESCRIPTION entries in scsi_mod's .modinfo section?
drivers/scsi/scsi.c already defines MODULE_DESCRIPTION("SCSI core") and
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") for scsi_mod.
