From 82c43310508eb19eb41fe7862e89afeb74030b84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mika Westerberg Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 16:19:13 +0200 Subject: SCSI: Add Marvell Console to VPD blacklist I have a Marvell 88SE9230 SATA Controller that has some sort of integrated console SCSI device attached to one of the ports. ata14: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata14.00: ATAPI: MARVELL VIRTUALL, 1.09, max UDMA/66 ata14.00: configured for UDMA/66 scsi 13:0:0:0: Processor Marvell Console 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Sending it VPD INQUIRY command seem to always fail with following error: ata14.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 ata14.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 ata14.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 2 dma 16640 in Inquiry 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) ata14: hard resetting link This has been minor annoyance (only error printed on dmesg) until commit 09e2b0b14690 ("scsi: rescan VPD attributes") added call to scsi_attach_vpd() in scsi_rescan_device(). The commit causes the system to splat out following errors continuously without ever reaching the UI: ata14.00: configured for UDMA/66 ata14: EH complete ata14.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 ata14.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 ata14.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 6 dma 16640 in Inquiry 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) ata14: hard resetting link ata14: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata14.00: configured for UDMA/66 ata14: EH complete ata14.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 ata14.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 ata14.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 7 dma 16640 in Inquiry 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) Without in-depth understanding of SCSI layer and the Marvell controller, I suspect this happens because when the link goes down (because of an error) we schedule scsi_rescan_device() which again fails to read VPD data... ad infinitum. Since VPD data cannot be read from the device anyway we prevent the SCSI layer from even trying by blacklisting the device. This gets away the error and the system starts up normally.
