sata disk model/firmware length smaller

[kernel.majianpeng]

At present,I using WD SATA disk:

This may be a bug?

Why should it?  Smartctl uses the ATA-Passthrough commands - the
reporting there is correct.  Your system on the other hand uses SCSI,
that's what libata is for.  You may want to also read the scsi-specs,
then you'll notice that "INQUIRE_DEVICE" scsi command allows less
characters for revision and model.

So maybe you'll want to write a feature request to the libata devs to
update the VPD via ATA commands after a disk has been detected to be ATA.

Not our bug. There is a size mismatch between the
ATA 'firmware revision' field (8 bytes) and the
SCSI 'product revision level' field (4 bytes). Given
the mappings defined in the SAT and SAT-2 standards
when an ATA device is being viewed via a SCSI INQUIRY
command only the first 4 bytes of the revision field
are taken.

A compliant SAT layer should support the ATA Information
VPD page which is accessed via the SCSI INQUIRY command
with the EVPD bit set. libata does this:

# sg_inq /dev/sda
standard INQUIRY:
   PQual=0  Device_type=0  RMB=0  version=0x05  [SPC-3]
   [AERC=0]  [TrmTsk=0]  NormACA=0  HiSUP=0  Resp_data_format=2
   SCCS=0  ACC=0  TPGS=0  3PC=0  Protect=0  BQue=0
   EncServ=0  MultiP=0  [MChngr=0]  [ACKREQQ=0]  Addr16=0
   [RelAdr=0]  WBus16=0  Sync=0  Linked=0  [TranDis=0]  CmdQue=0
   [SPI: Clocking=0x0  QAS=0  IUS=0]
     length=96 (0x60)   Peripheral device type: disk
  Vendor identification: ATA
  Product identification: INTEL SSDSA2M080
  Product revision level: 2CV1
  Unit serial number: xxxxxx

# sg_vpd -p ai /dev/sda
ATA information VPD page:
   SAT Vendor identification: linux
   SAT Product identification: libata
   SAT Product revision level: 2CV1
   ATA command IDENTIFY DEVICE response summary:
     model: INTEL SSDSA2M080G2GC
     serial number: xxxxxx
     firmware revision: 2CV102HD

The whole of an ATA disk's IDENTIFY DEVICE response (512
bytes) is available in the SCSI ATA Information VPD page.
