Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc4 1/5] ieee1394: sbp2: workaround for write protect bit of Initio firmware
Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 13:26:50 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.94cecc462a778dde@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tkrat.bbaf8d081f6a31b7@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Yet another mode pages related bug of Initio firmwares was seen.
INIC-1530 with a firmware by Initio responded with garbage to MODE SENSE
(10).  Some HDDs were therefore incorrectly marked as write protected:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6947

Sbp2 now tells scsi_lib to use MODE SENSE (6) for the one known
defective model.  The workaround could be expanded to other or perhaps
even all model IDs of Initio firmwares if necessary.  At least it worked
OK with an INIC-2430 with different model ID and without the MS(10) bug.
