Subject: [PATCH v5 2/5] scsi: core: Add scsi_update_inquiry_data() for updating INQUIRY data
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:35:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618233508.97960-3-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618233508.97960-1-brian@purestorage.com>
Add a new function scsi_update_inquiry_data() that can safely update all
INQUIRY-derived fields for an existing SCSI device:
- Vendor, model, revision strings
- Peripheral qualifier and device type
- Capability flags (removable, lockable, tagged queuing support, etc.)
- ATA device detection and allow_restart setting
The function:
- Takes the inquiry_mutex to protect against concurrent sysfs reads
- Respects BLIST_ISROM and BLIST_NOTQ blacklist flags
- Returns 1 if device type or peripheral qualifier changed, indicating
the caller should call device_reprobe() to re-match drivers
- Returns 0 on success with no changes requiring reprobe
- Returns negative errno on failure
This is the core infrastructure needed for updating INQUIRY data during
device rescan operations, which is required for proper ALUA unavailable
state handling.
