Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Erroneous TPG ID check in SCSI ALUA Handler
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:51:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314175879-16565-7-git-send-email-hare@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1314175879-16565-1-git-send-email-hare@suse.de>

For Target Portal Group IDs occupying the full 2 bytes in the
RTPG response, the following group_id check in the alua_rtpg
routine always fails in scsi_dh_alua.c:

if (h->group_id == (ucp[2] << 8) + ucp[3]) {

This causes the ALUA handler to wrongly identify the AAS of
a specified device as well as incorrectly interpreting the
supported AAS of the target as seen by the following entries
in the /var/log/messages:

"alua: port group 3ea state A supports tousna"
"alua: port group 3e9 state A supports tousna"

This is because 'ucp' is wrongly declared in alua_rtpg as
a character pointer instead of an unsigned character pointer.
