From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Some host adapters (e.g. Hyper-V storvsc) are known for not respecting the SPC-2/3/4 requirement for 'INQUIRY data (see table ...) shall contain at least 36 bytes'. As a result we get tons on 'scsi 0:7:1:1: scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36' messages on console. This can be problematic for slow consoles. Introduce short_inquiry host template flag to avoid printing error messages for such adapters. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: K. Y.
