This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: core: Improve scsi_vpd_inquiry() checks to the 4.14-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-core-improve-scsi_vpd_inquiry-checks.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a13985c088f19252514fc3661a021a7ccaf57e87 Author: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 22 11:22:11 2023 +0900 scsi: core: Improve scsi_vpd_inquiry() checks [ Upstream commit f0aa59a33d2ac2267d260fe21eaf92500df8e7b4 ] Some USB-SATA adapters have broken behavior when an unsupported VPD page is probed: Depending on the VPD page number, a 4-byte header with a valid VPD page number but with a 0 length is returned. Currently, scsi_vpd_inquiry() only checks that the page number is valid to determine if the page is valid, which results in receiving only the 4-byte header for the non-existent page. This error manifests itself very often with page 0xb9 for the Concurrent Positioning Ranges detection done by sd_read_cpr(), resulting in the following error message: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Invalid Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page Prevent such misleading error message by adding a check in scsi_vpd_inquiry() to verify that the page length is not 0.
