In the 2.6 (2.6.9 and scsi-misc in git) kernel, MODE_SENSE SCSI command packet (scsi_cmnd) carries following entries with unexpectedly small in size. - request_bufflen - bufflen Especially for MODE SENSE with page code 8 (caching page), driver has minumum 12 Bytes MODE_SENSE data to deliver besides 'mode parameter header' and 'block descriptors'. When I dump those entries, they both are 4 Bytes in size. To me, it seems like that SCSI mid layer allocated 512 Bytes for MODE_SENSE data buffer, but the buffer length passed down to LLD incorrectly. Please guide me if there is anything missing.
