Export the RAW SCSI Inquiry to sysfs as binfile. This way the data can be used by userland without the need to have and ioctl or use the sg_inq tool.
Here is an example of the provided data linux:~ # hexdump /sys/class/scsi_device/1\:0\:0\:0/device/inquiry 0000000 8005 3205 001f 0000 4551 554d 2020 2020 0000010 4551 554d 4420 4456 522d 4d4f 2020 2020 0000020 2e32 2e33 0000024 Signed-off-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumsh...@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <h...@suse.de> --- Chanes to v1: * Correct typo userlang -> userland in commit message. drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c index 9ad4116..5ecb65d 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c @@ -773,6 +773,29 @@ static struct bin_attribute dev_attr_vpd_##_page = { \ sdev_vpd_pg_attr(pg83); sdev_vpd_pg_attr(pg80); +static ssize_t show_inquiry(struct file *filep, struct kobject *kobj, + struct bin_attribute *bin_attr, + char *buf, loff_t off, size_t count) +{ + struct device *dev = container_of(kobj, struct device, kobj); + struct scsi_device *sdev = to_scsi_device(dev); + + if (!sdev->inquiry) + return -EINVAL; + + return memory_read_from_buffer(buf, count, &off, sdev->inquiry, + sdev->inquiry_len); +} + +static struct bin_attribute dev_attr_inquiry = { + .attr = { + .name = "inquiry", + .mode = S_IRUGO, + }, + .size = 0, + .read = show_inquiry, +}; + static ssize_t show_iostat_counterbits(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) @@ -957,6 +980,7 @@ static struct attribute *scsi_sdev_attrs[] = { static struct bin_attribute *scsi_sdev_bin_attrs[] = { &dev_attr_vpd_pg83, &dev_attr_vpd_pg80, + &dev_attr_inquiry, NULL }; static struct attribute_group scsi_sdev_attr_group = { -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
