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.

[Severity: Medium]
The commit states all INQUIRY-derived sysfs attributes, including type, must
be protected by inquiry_mutex against concurrent updates.
However, shouldn't sdev_show_modalias() and scsi_bus_uevent() also be updated?
They both read sdev->type locklessly to construct the modalias string:
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:sdev_show_modalias() {
...
sdev = to_scsi_device(dev);
return snprintf (buf, 20, SCSI_DEVICE_MODALIAS_FMT "\n", sdev->type);
}
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:scsi_bus_uevent() {
...
sdev = to_scsi_device(dev);
add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS=" SCSI_DEVICE_MODALIAS_FMT, sdev->type);
...
}
Can concurrent device rescans cause these functions to read an inconsistent
or transient sdev->type?

Add a new function scsi_update_inquiry_data() that stores standard
INQUIRY data for a SCSI device and updates the fields derived from it:
- Vendor, model, revision strings
- Peripheral qualifier, device type and SCSI level
- On the first call only: capability flags (removable, lockable,
tagged queuing support, transfer modes, ATA detection, ...)
The function:
- Takes the inquiry_mutex to protect against concurrent sysfs reads
- Allocates sdev->inquiry once at its maximum size and copies later
updates into it in place. Several helpers in <scsi/scsi_device.h>
(scsi_device_tpgs(), scsi_device_protection(), ...) read
sdev->inquiry without any lock, so the buffer must never be freed
while the device is live.
- Leaves the capability flags alone when refreshing an existing device.
LLDs and upper-level drivers adjust several of them after the initial
probe (usb-storage and scsi_ioctl clear lockable, aacraid forces
tagged_supported, ...), and they share a word with runtime state bits
that are written without inquiry_mutex.
- Applies the BLIST_ISROM type override on every call. The BLIST_ISROM
removable override and BLIST_NOTQ only affect the capability flags,
so they are applied on the first call only
- 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.

Refactor scsi_add_lun() to use the new scsi_update_inquiry_data()
function instead of inline INQUIRY parsing code. This consolidates
INQUIRY data handling in one place and ensures consistent behavior
between initial device setup and device rescan operations.
The following fields are now set by scsi_update_inquiry_data():
- inquiry buffer, vendor, model, rev pointers
- type, removable, lockable
- inq_periph_qual
- soft_reset, ppr, wdtr, sdtr
- tagged_supported, simple_tags
- is_ata, allow_restart
Also update scsi_probe_lun() to compute scsi_level into a local
variable rather than writing directly to sdev->scsi_level.
scsi_update_inquiry_data() is now the authoritative setter of
sdev->scsi_level under inquiry_mutex; scsi_probe_lun() needs the
level early for lun_in_cdb and sdev_target->scsi_level before
scsi_update_inquiry_data() is called.
scsi_add_lun() is only ever called for freshly allocated sdev instances
where sdev->inquiry is NULL, so the redundant !sdev->inquiry guard is
dropped along with the now-unreachable sanity check that followed it.
This patch maintains identical behavior to the previous code.
scsi_add_lun() continues to handle the remaining BLIST flags and
device-specific setup that doesn't come directly from INQUIRY data.

Update INQUIRY data on rescan and call device_reprobe() if PQ or type
changed. Critical for ALUA unavailable state handling (SPC-4 5.15.2.4.4).
If the INQUIRY data cannot be refreshed (allocation failure, or the
device does not answer INQUIRY), the failure is logged and the rescan
continues as before with the existing data, so the VPD pages and the
device handler and upper-level driver rescan methods are still updated.
The device lock is dropped around device_reprobe(), which takes it
itself. sdev remains valid in that window because callers hold a
reference; scsi_evt_thread() is covered by the cancel_work_sync() in
scsi_device_dev_release(). Taking an extra reference here instead would
be wrong: dropping the last reference from the event work would run the
release function, and its cancel_work_sync(), from that same work.
scsi_probe_lun() is now called for live devices, so:
- Return the INQUIRY length instead of storing it in sdev->inquiry_len.
scsi_update_inquiry_data() stores it under inquiry_mutex together
with the data, so sysfs never pairs a new length with old data.
- Only write lun_in_cdb and the target's scsi_level when they change,
instead of clearing lun_in_cdb and then setting it again.

[Severity: High]
Because this function is now called for a live device by scsi_rescan_device()
(via scsi_refresh_inquiry()), could this assignment to the short_inquiry
bitfield race with updates to adjacent bitfields in struct Scsi_Host?
The short_inquiry bitfield is in the same machine word as tmf_in_progress
and other dynamic host states.
Since we only hold the device_lock() here and not the shost->host_lock, a
concurrent update to tmf_in_progress, such as:
scsi_error.c:scsi_ioctl_reset() {
...
shost->tmf_in_progress = 1;
...
}
might be clobbered by the unlocked read-modify-write of the bitfield word,
potentially breaking host error recovery.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this conditional bitfield assignment cause a data race during a live
rescan?
Although the check avoids writing when the value hasn't changed, if it does
evaluate to true, writing to sdev->lun_in_cdb will perform a non-atomic
read-modify-write of the 32-bit word containing it.
This word also holds sdev->cdl_enable, which can be modified concurrently by
sysfs writes without holding the device_lock:
scsi_sysfs.c:sdev_store_cdl_enable() {
...
sdev->cdl_enable = enable;
...
}
If a sysfs write overlaps with this update, the sysfs state might be
silently overwritten.

[Severity: High]
Is it safe to call scsi_device_set_state() here without holding the
state_mutex?
scsi_device_set_state() performs a non-atomic read-modify-write of
sdev->sdev_state. If this races with a concurrent device removal
(__scsi_remove_device), the removal path acquires state_mutex and sets
SDEV_CANCEL or SDEV_DEL.
If scsi_rescan_device() concurrently calls scsi_device_set_state() without
state_mutex, it could read SDEV_RUNNING, allow the removal path to transition
the device to SDEV_CANCEL, and then overwrite that state with SDEV_OFFLINE.
Since SDEV_OFFLINE still permits scsi_device_get(), subsequent callers could
successfully grab a reference to a deleted device and use a destroyed request
queue, potentially leading to a use-after-free.

Complement scsi_rescan_device() reprobe by handling the scan path.
When a manual or transport-initiated scan finds a LUN that already has
a fully set up scsi_device, call scsi_rescan_device() for it so that
changes to the standard INQUIRY data are picked up and the device is
reprobed if its peripheral qualifier or device type changed.
The device lock is taken inside scsi_rescan_device() while the host's
scan_mutex is held; that lock order is already used by
scsi_remove_device(). Pseudo devices and devices that are still being
set up by another scan are left alone.
