Hello, while playing with multipath-tools and scst I got the following warning: [ 6382.467569] [3806]: scst: scst_parse_cmd:826:Warning: expected transfer length 256 for opcode 0x12 (handler vdisk_blockio, target scst_local) doesn't match decoded value 128 [ 6382.467574] [3806]: scst_parse_cmd:828:Suspicious CDB: [ 6382.467579] (h)___0__1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9__A__B__C__D__E__F [ 6382.467581] 0: 12 01 c0 00 80 00 ...... This happened when my scst target pretended to be a CLARiiON. I noticed a mismatch in emc_clariion_prio (libmultipath/prioritizers/emc.c) between the allocation length and dxfer_len: int emc_clariion_prio(const char *dev, int fd) { unsigned char sense_buffer[256]; unsigned char sb[128]; unsigned char inqCmdBlk[INQUIRY_CMDLEN] = {INQUIRY_CMD, 1, 0xC0, 0, sizeof(sb), 0}; ... memset(&sense_buffer, 0, 256); io_hdr.interface_id = 'S'; io_hdr.cmd_len = sizeof (inqCmdBlk); io_hdr.mx_sb_len = sizeof (sb); io_hdr.dxfer_direction = SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV; io_hdr.dxfer_len = sizeof (sense_buffer); io_hdr.dxferp = sense_buffer; io_hdr.cmdp = inqCmdBlk; io_hdr.sbp = sb; io_hdr.timeout = 60000; io_hdr.pack_id = 0; The following change shrinks the size of sense_buffer to 128.
