In this and other places the patch changes the code from submitting the
INQUIRY/EVPD command for the page it wants, to calling scsi_get_vpd_page().
scsi_get_vpd_page() will return -EINVAL if the device did not report in
VPD page 0 that the requested page is in the list of supported pages.
Did you actually verify that the RDAC returns all of these VPD pages in
its VPD page 0 list?

I mean, I know it's supposed to, but these are old devices.

Errm.

Old? Don't tell that to the E-Series folk; you'll never again get something sponsored :-)

No, seriously: RDAC mode is continued to be supported even on the latest models, and all firmware revisions I've got support VPD page 0x0. And incidentally, this is the very same method we're using for basically all tools accessing VPD page 0x83, be it in the kernel or something like sg3_utils.
_Not_ asking for page 0x0 lead to crashes on several older devices.

Cheers,

Hannes
