Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] scsi: core: Protect INQUIRY sysfs attributes with mutex
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:35:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618233508.97960-2-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618233508.97960-1-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.
Update the sdev_rd_attr macro to take inquiry_mutex around the field
access and switch to sysfs_emit. Since vendor, model, and rev are
NUL-terminated fixed-size arrays, %s format handles all field types
correctly.
This is preparatory work for adding INQUIRY data update support during
device rescan operations.
