Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Rework the struct scsi_device inquiry information
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 12:46:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512194634.58145-1-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)

Hi Martin,

The vendor, model and rev members in struct scsi_device are fixed-length
strings that are not NUL-terminated. This patch converts these members into
NUL-terminated character arrays. This makes it less error-prone to deal with
these structure members. The patches in this series have been implemented such
that the number of lines changed and the risk for regressions is minimized.

Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.
