Lee, > My worry is that this won't always work. Looking at the code, the > buffer sizes used for VPD pages include 8, 32, 64, and 252 bytes. I'm > not sure how reading 255 bytes into an 8-byte buffer would work. In the scsi_get_vpd_buf() case we will allocate a 255 byte buffer since that's what scsi_get_vpd_size() returns for a VDASD. And in the scsi_get_vpd_page() case, where a buffer already exists, we clamp the INQUIRY size to the minimum of scsi_get_vpd_size() and the buffer length provided by the caller. -- Martin K.
