Right now the buffer length for inquiry vpd 0x83 is hardcoded to 128 bytes. This can cause problems if the length of all the designation descriptors exceed 128 bytes. This was causing me issues while configuring my storage with alua. I have generalized the processing with correct buffer length. Patch has been tested with NetApp E-series storage.
