This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: NCR5380: Add disconnect_mask module parameter to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-ncr5380-add-disconnect_mask-module-parameter.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e6f41f8528078d40665c8bbf2a0669950eedef67 Author: Finn Thain <fthain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 16 14:36:57 2019 +1100 scsi: NCR5380: Add disconnect_mask module parameter [ Upstream commit 0b7a223552d455bcfba6fb9cfc5eef2b5fce1491 ] Add a module parameter to inhibit disconnect/reselect for individual targets. This gains compatibility with Aztec PowerMonster SCSI/SATA adapters with buggy firmware. (No fix is available from the vendor.) Apparently these adapters pass-through the product/vendor of the attached SATA device. Since they can't be identified from the response to an INQUIRY command, a device blacklist flag won't work.
