Despite supporting modern SCSI features (such an UNMAP) some storage devices continue to claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec for compatibility with legacy operating systems. Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that allows the forcing of the paths leading to logical block provisioning tests. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/59 for the previous version. Reported-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Original-patch-by: Martin K.
