Editorial comment: Note that the officially published versions of the ISO and ANSI standards don't carry that revision number r36; they just have the standard name and year. SBC-3 revision 36 became "ANSI INCITS 514-2014 Information technology - SCSI Block Commands - 3 (SBC-3)". T10 isn't really obligated to keep making particular working drafts available, although the ones that have been assigned version descriptors (in SPC-n) are more likely to stick around. For SBC-3, only revisions 35 and 36 earned those. Section numbers are quite volatile, too, so you might be better off including the section name. It's starting to become standardese, but this kind of wording might be better: "See the SBC-3 START STOP UNIT command description (e.g., sbc3r36 5.25)" > + /* From SBC-3: > + * Immediate bit should be set since there is nothing to complete > + * POWER CONDITION MODIFIER 0h > + */ > + if (!(cdb[1] & 1) || (cdb[2] | cdb[3])) > + return TCM_INVALID_CDB_FIELD; Technical comment: The application client is not obligated to set the IMMED bit here. In fact, that's an unusual choice. Using the IMMED bit means the application client must handle the initial status for the command, then poll for the functional results with REQUEST SENSE and TEST UNIT READY commands, which is much more complicated. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
