Hi all, the current PCI VPD page access assumes that the entire possible VPD data is readable. However, the spec only guarantees a VPD data up to the 'end' marker, with everything beyond that being undefined. This causes a system lockup on certain devices. With this patch we always set the VPD sysfs attribute size to '0', and calculate the available VPD size on the first access. If no valid data can be read an I/O error is returned. I've also included the patch from Babu to blacklists devices which are known to lockup when accessing the VPD data.
