Note the sense key of 0x5 denoting an illegal request. For the record with the buffer size of 6 requests for page 0 complete successfully and due to page truncation `scsi_get_vpd_page' proceeds with an attempt to get inexistent page 0x89: sd 0:0:0:0: scsi_vpd_inquiry(0): buf[6] => 7 sd 0:0:1:0: scsi_vpd_inquiry(0): buf[6] => 13 sd 0:0:0:0: scsi_vpd_inquiry(137): buf[6] => -5 sd 0:0:1:0: scsi_vpd_inquiry(137): buf[6] => -5 Upon a further investigation it has turned out at least SCSI-2 considers byte #3 of the INQUIRY command[1] as well as byte #2 of vital product data pages[2] reserved and expects a value of zero there. The response from SCSI-3 devices shown above indicates the same expectation. Therefore it is unsafe to issue INQUIRY requests unconditionally with the allocation length beyond 255, as they may fail with an otherwise supported request or cause undefined behaviour with some hardware. Now we actually never do that as all our callers of `scsi_get_vpd_page' either hardcode the buffer size to a value between 8 and 255 or calculate it from a structure size, of which the largest is: struct c2_inquiry { u8 peripheral_info; /* 0 1 */ u8 page_code; /* 1 1 */ u8 reserved1; /* 2 1 */ u8 page_len; /* 3 1 */ u8 page_id[4]; /* 4 4 */ u8 sw_version[3]; /* 8 3 */ u8 sw_date[3]; /* 11 3 */ u8 features_enabled; /* 14 1 */ u8 max_lun_supported; /* 15 1 */ u8 partitions[239]; /* 16 239 */ /* size: 255, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */ /* last cacheline: 127 bytes */ }; As from commit b3ae8780b429 ("[SCSI] Add EVPD page 0x83 and 0x80 to sysfs") we now also have the SCSI_VPD_PG_LEN macro that reflects the limitation. However for the sake of a possible future requirement to support VPD pages that do have a length exceeding 255 bytes and now that the danger of using the formerly reserved byte #3 of the INQUIRY command has been identified execute calls to `scsi_get_vpd_page' with a request size exceeding 255 bytes in two stages, by determining the actual length of data to be returned first and only then issuing the intended request for full data.

Rozycki Fixes: 881a256d84e6 ("[SCSI] Add VPD helper") --- Hi, NB the SCSI-2 working draft is the only normative reference I have access to, downloaded many years ago and not online anymore. I have more recent vendor documents that do indicate that bytes #3 & #2 respectively are a part of the length field, but based on empirical evidence presented here it is unsafe to unconditionally assume that the bytes can be set to a non-zero value. So I think it will be safest long-term if we handle it correctly right away now that the knowledge is fresh, as past experience with commit af73623f5f10 ("[SCSI] sd: Reduce buffer size for vpd request") indicates the circumstances are not always correctly understood. No backport requested as we have no current use that would request VPD data beyond 255 bytes.
