Subject: [PATCH 2/2] scsi: core: Convert inquiry information
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 12:46:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512194634.58145-3-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512194634.58145-1-bvanassche@acm.org>

Currently the vendor, model, and revision members of struct scsi_device
are pointers to fixed-length strings that are not NUL-terminated.
Fixed-precision format specifiers (e.g., "%.8s") are required whenever
they are printed and strncmp() must be used to compare these fields.
This is error-prone.

Convert these fields to fixed-size character arrays within struct
scsi_device. Remove an !sdev->model check because sdev->model is now
guaranteed not to be NULL.

This patch fixes a bug in the qla2xxx driver. It makes the following
code safe:

		if (state_flags & BIT_4)
			scmd_printk(KERN_WARNING, cp,
			    "Unsupported device '%s' found.\n",
			    cp->device->vendor);
