[PATCH v3 0/2] Do not read the IO hints VPD page from USB storage devices

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

Hi Martin,

Recently it was reported that reading the IO hints VPD page makes at least two
USB storage devices crash. Hence this patch series that disables reading the IO
hints VPD page from USB storage devices. Please consider this patch series for
your scsi-fixes branch.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v2:
 - Changed "IO hints VPD page" into "IO Advice Hints Grouping mode page".
 - Changed "scsi: core: " prefix for patch 2/2 into "usb: ".
 - Removed redundant Cc-tags.

Changes compared to v1:
 - Also set the BLIST_SKIP_IO_HINTS for USB Attached SCSI devices.

Bart Van Assche (2):
  scsi: core: Introduce the BLIST_SKIP_IO_HINTS flag
  usb: Do not query the IO advice hints grouping mode page for USB
    devices
