Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] scsi: Protect INQUIRY sysfs attributes with mutex
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:49:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429224939.77082-1-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429012733.40855-1-brian@purestorage.com>
All INQUIRY-derived sysfs attributes (type, scsi_level, vendor, model,
rev, cdl_supported, and the binary inquiry attribute) read data that
can be updated during device rescan. These reads must be protected
against concurrent updates.
Use the existing inquiry_mutex to protect access to these sysfs
attributes. This ensures that userspace always sees consistent INQUIRY
data, even if a rescan is updating the buffer concurrently.
Replace the sdev_rd_attr macro with two new helpers,
sdev_rd_inquiry_attr_int and sdev_rd_inquiry_attr_str, which generate
the show functions for INQUIRY-derived integer and string fields and
take the inquiry_mutex around the field access.
This is preparatory work for adding INQUIRY data update support during
device rescan operations.

v3:
- Use sysfs_emit() instead of snprintf() in the new show functions.
- Use guard(mutex)() for scoped lock acquisition and drop the local
ret variable.
v2:
- Protect all INQUIRY-derived fields (type, scsi_level, cdl_supported),
not just the string fields (vendor, model, rev) and binary inquiry
attribute. If we accept that INQUIRY data can change, we cannot assume
which fields will change.
- Replace the sdev_rd_attr macro with sdev_rd_inquiry_attr_int and
sdev_rd_inquiry_attr_str helpers to avoid duplicating the lock/unlock
boilerplate across each show function.
