FWIW, the version descriptors you suggested (and the "compatibility version") is updated for ZAC drives in: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c?id=f9ca5ab832e7ac5bc2b6fe0e82ad46d536f436f9 I have no idea why the versions for other devices are held back. Certainly it seems right to have them updated as well. But my goal was just to fix the typo, at least. Not sure about the SAT version descriptor. FYR I have a few SATA/UASP adapters (from ASMedia and JMicron), they only have the SPC-4, SBC-3 and UAS descriptor, but not a SAT one. However unlike libata, neither of them have the "ai" VPD: [tom@localhost ~]$ sudo sg_vpd -p ai /dev/sda ATA information VPD page: SAT Vendor identification: linux SAT Product identification: libata SAT Product revision level: 3.00 Device signature indicates SATA transport ATA command IDENTIFY DEVICE response summary: model: INTEL SSDSC2BW240A4 serial number: CVDA339603M02403GN firmware revision: DC32 On 4 May 2016 at 02:19, Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 2016-05-02 04:13 PM, tom.ty89@xxxxxxxxx wrote: >> >> From: Tom Yan <tom.ty89@xxxxxxxxx> >> >> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106931 >> Signed-off-by: Tom Yan <tom.ty89@xxxxxxxxx> >> >> diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c >> index cd30f11..0295c38 100644 >> --- a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c >> +++ b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c >> @@ -1985,8 +1985,8 @@ static unsigned int ata_scsiop_inq_std(struct >> ata_scsi_args *args, u8 *rbuf) >> 0x03, >> 0x20, /* SBC-2 (no version claimed) */ >> >> - 0x02, >> - 0x60 /* SPC-3 (no version claimed) */ >> + 0x03, >> + 0x00 /* SPC-3 (no version claimed) */ >> }; >> const u8 versions_zbc[] = { >> 0x00, >> > > SPC-3 was standardized in 2005 (ANSI INCITS 408-2005) and there > is a more recent standard: SPC-4 (ANSI INCITS 513-2015).
